al-Qa'im bi-Amr Allah Abd Allah ibn al-Qadir

Abbasid caliph [422–467], Abu Ja'far Abd Allah ibn al-Qadir, born 391 to an Armenian mother; Ibn al-Athir praises his beauty, piety, learning and unstinted answers. Al-Basasiri seized him in 450 and jailed him at Ana — his letter to God was hung on the Ka'ba. Restored, he slept only on his prayer-mat, kept fasting and night-prayer, forgave all who wronged him, bought back his looted goods at price saying 'we have counted them with God', never again laid head on pillow; no instrument of amusement was found in his sacked palace.
