Overview

al-Hasan ibn Buwayh al-Daylami, brother of Ali, 'Imad al-Dawla, and Ahmad, Mu'izz al-Dawla. His title was al-Mustakfi "Rukn al-Dawla" when his brother entered Baghdad and the brothers' titles were struck on the coinage 2.

His rule

al-Muti' appointed him in place of his brother 'Imad al-Dawla in 338 AH. He was the father of 'Adud al-Dawla 3.

From Ibn al-Athir

Ibn al-Athir reports that Mansur ibn Qaratakin the Samanid seized Rayy in 340 AH. Rukn al-Dawla, who was in Fars, wrote to his brother Mu'izz al-Dawla ordering him to send an army to push them back from the regions of Iraq 4.

In 351 AH he marched to Tabaristan, besieged Sari and took it. Wushmgir left Tabaristan for Jurjan, and Rukn al-Dawla followed him and drove him from it 5.
