As Tulunid power failed and the Qarmatians ravaged Syria, al-Muqtafi sent his commander Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Katib, who took Syria then neared Egypt and won over the commanders until Badr al-Hammami their chief came over; Harun ibn Khumarawayh rode out to fight but was struck by a spear amid a mutiny of his own troops, his state's notables surrendered, and Muhammad rode into Egypt, chained the seventeen Banu Tulun and shipped them to Baghdad — then on al-Muqtafi's order burned Ibn Tulun's al-Qata'i' quarter east of Fustat mile upon mile while Fustat was plundered.
