خلفاء براؤزر

اسلام کے خلفاء، اپنی خلافت کے لحاظ سے مرتب — راشدہ، اموی دمشق و قرطبہ، عباسی بغداد و قاہرہ، فاطمی، موحّد، عثمانی اور سوکوتو — ہر خلیفہ کے ساتھ اس کا عہد، تسلسل میں اس کا مقام، اس کے عہد کے واقعات اور مستند مآخذ۔

دعویدارانہ سلاسل — زبیری، حمودی اور شریفی خلافتیں — آخر میں بطور دعویٰ دکھائی گئی ہیں۔ عجائب گھر ہر ولا کو ویسے بیان کرتا ہے جیسے مآخذ بیان کرتے ہیں؛ مشروعیت پر فیصلہ نہیں کرتا۔

اس بناء میں درج خلفاء: 165۔ ہر کارڈ کا عہد اور سلسلہ عجائب گھر کے مستند ریکارڈ سے بنا ہے اور گراف کے ساتھ بڑھتا ہے۔

خلافت راشدہ

یہ خلافت 632ء میں قائم ہوئی اور 661ء میں ختم ہوئی۔

  1. 1 · 0632–0634

    ابوبکر صدیق

    نبی کے قریبی ساتھی اور پہلے خلیفہ ⁦(632–634ء)⁩؛ ان کی خلافت کو سنی اور شیعہ روایت مختلف طور پر سمجھتے ہیں۔

  2. 2 · 0634–0644

    عمر بن خطاب

    دوسرے خلیفہ؛ بریٹانیکا انہیں صراحت سے مسلمان کہتا اور ہجری سن کے انتظامی اختیار کو ان سے منسوب کرتا ہے؛ قمری مہینوں کی ایجاد کا دعویٰ نہیں ۔ دائرۃ المعارف اسلامیہ، دوسرا ایڈیشن، انہیں سخت مزاج، مضبوط ارادے والا اور محمد، قرآن اور اسلام کے لیے وقف بتاتی ہے، کہتی ہے کہ سنی روایت انہیں مثالی عادل حکمران مانتی ہے جبکہ شیعی روایت نے ان سے ناپسندیدگی کبھی نہیں چھپائی، اور جدید اختلاف بیان کرتی ہے کہ ابتدائی اشرافیہ متحد تھی یا منقسم۔

  3. 3 · 0644–0656

    عثمان بن عفان

    تیسرے خلیفہ راشد ⁦(644 سے 656)⁩، بنو امیہ سے، جنہوں نے نبی کی دو صاحبزادیوں سے باری باری نکاح کیا۔ دائرۃ المعارف الاسلامیہ کا مقالہ بتاتا ہے کہ عمر کی ترتیب دی ہوئی شوریٰ نے انہیں چنا، ان کے عہد میں فتوحات ہوئیں، رشتہ داروں کی تقرری اور مالی پالیسی پر اعتراضات اٹھے، مدینہ میں ان کے گھر کے دو محاصرے ہوئے اور جون 656 میں قتل ہوا جس سے فتنوں کا دور شروع ہوا۔ ان کے عہد میں قرآن ایک معتمد مصحف میں یکجا ہوا۔

  4. 4 · 0656–0661

    علی بن ابی طالب

    نبی کے چچا زاد اور داماد اور چوتھے خلیفہ ⁦(656–661ء)⁩؛ شیعہ روایت میں پہلے امام۔ دائرۃ المعارف اسلامیہ کے مطابق وہ اولین ایمان لانے والوں میں تھے، محمد کی حیات میں تقریباً تمام مہمات میں شریک رہے، اور عثمان کے قتل کے بعد 18 ذوالحجہ 35ھ کو مدینہ میں خلیفہ منتخب ہوئے۔ ان کے دور میں جنگ جمل، صفین کی لڑائی، تحکیم اور نہروان میں خوارج سے قطع تعلق پیش آیا۔ 40ھ میں ایک خارجی نے کوفہ کی مسجد کے دروازے پر انہیں مارا اور وہ تقریباً دو دن بعد فوت ہوئے۔

  5. 5 · 0661-01–0661-08~

    حسن بن علی

    علی بن ابی طالب اور فاطمہ کے بیٹے؛ علی کے بعد بیعت لی اور پھر معاویہ کے ساتھ صلح کے ذریعے اقتدار سے الگ ہوئے۔ دائرۃ المعارف اسلامیہ کے مطابق علی کے قتل کے بعد کوفہ میں ان کی بیعت ہوئی، مدائن کے قریب ساتھ چھوڑنے سے ان کا لشکر کمزور ہوا، اور انہوں نے ان شرائط پر خلافت چھوڑی جنہیں ماخذ مختلف طرح بیان کرتے ہیں۔ شیعہ انہیں اپنا دوسرا امام مانتے ہیں، اور ماخذ کے مطابق وہ تقریباً 49ھ میں مدینہ میں بیماری یا زہر سے فوت ہوئے۔

اموی خلافت

ایسی خلافت جس نے شام کے مرکز سے 41ھ/661ء سے 132ھ/750ء تک عرب مسلم علاقوں پر حکومت کی اور جس کا دارالحکومت دمشق تھا۔ اس کے تمام خلفاء قریش کے امیہ بن عبد شمس کی نسل سے تھے اور دو شاخوں میں بٹے تھے، سفیانی اور مروانی۔ اس دور میں پہلا خالص اسلامی سکہ آیا، سرکاری ریکارڈ عربی میں رکھے جانے لگے اور قبۃ الصخرہ بنا، اور وسطی ایشیا سے اندلس تک کے علاقے پہلی بار نمایاں طور پر مسلمان اور عربی بولنے والے ہوئے۔ مسلم روایت میں خاندان کی تصویر زیادہ تر منفی ہے، جبکہ انسائیکلوپیڈیا آف اسلام کے مطابق یہ روایت زیادہ تر خاندان کے مخالف حلقوں سے آئی ہے۔

  1. 1 · 661–680

    معاویہ بن ابی سفیان

    اموی قبیلے کا قریشی، ابو سفیان اور ہند بنت عتبہ کا بیٹا، جو نبی کے ساتھ رہا اور ان کے کاتبوں میں شمار ہوا۔ عمر نے بھائی یزید کے بعد انہیں شام میں مقرر کیا؛ بعد میں انہوں نے علی کی بیعت نہ کی اور صفین میں ان سے لڑے، اور 41ھ/661ء میں عام الجماعت کے سال، جب حسن دستبردار ہوئے، خلیفہ تسلیم کیے گئے۔ انہوں نے 60ھ/680ء تک حکومت کی، بیزنطیوں کے خلاف بری اور بحری محاذ سنبھالا، قبائلی سرداروں کے ذریعے نظم چلایا اور بیٹے یزید کے لیے بیعت لی؛ دائرۃ المعارف اسلامیہ کے مطابق بعد کے مصنفین نے ان کے بارے میں بہت مختلف رائے رکھی۔

  2. 2 · 680–683

    يزيد بن معاوية

    یزید بن معاویہ بن ابی سفیان، بنو امیہ کے دوسرے خلیفہ، نے 60 سے 64ھ/680 سے 683ء تک حکومت کی، جب ان کے والد معاویہ نے انھیں جانشین مقرر کیا۔ ان کی والدہ میسون کلبی سردار ابن بحدل کی بہن تھیں۔ ان کے عہد میں فتنہ کا بحران شروع ہوا: حسین بن علی کربلا میں قتل ہوئے، اہلِ مدینہ نے بیعت توڑ دی اور شامی فوج سے حرہ میں معرکہ ہوا، پھر مکہ میں ابن زبیر کا محاصرہ ہوا اور کعبہ کو آگ سے نقصان پہنچا۔ اسلامی دائرۃ المعارف کہتا ہے کہ روایتی بیان عموماً ان کے خلاف ہے، جدید محققین اسے مختلف طرح پڑھتے ہیں، اور دستیاب شواہد شاید ان کی قابلیت یا شخصیت پر فیصلے کی اجازت نہ دیں۔

  3. 3 · 683–684

    معاوية بن يزيد بن معاوية

    Third Umayyad caliph, succeeded by his father's testament in Rabi' I 64 — a righteous youth whose forty-day (or three-month) caliphate passed in illness without public appearance; he refused to name a successor, saying 'I tasted none of its sweetness — why should I shoulder its bitterness?', and died about twenty-one.

  4. 4 · 684–685

    مروان بن الحكم

    Marwan ibn al-Hakam ibn Abi al-As ibn Umayya; he rode in Abdallah ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Sarh's reinforced army to Ifriqiya in Uthman's raid with his brother al-Harith ibn al-Hakam; his rule came later, after Mu'awiya ibn Yazid's death amid Ibn al-Zubayr's fitna.

  5. 5 · 685–705

    عبد الملک بن مروان

    اموی سلسلے کے پانچویں خلیفہ، جن کی حکومت 65 سے 86ھ/685 سے 705ء تک رہی۔ انھوں نے مصعب بن الزبیر کی شکست اور مکہ میں عبداللہ بن الزبیر کے قتل کے بعد ریاست کی وحدت بحال کی، عراق کی حکومت میں حجاج پر بھروسا کیا، مالی دفاتر کی زبان عربی کی، اسلامی سونے کا دینار جاری کیا، اور دائرۃ المعارف اسلامیہ کے مطابق بیت المقدس میں قبۃ الصخرہ تعمیر کروائی۔ ان کی وفات شوال 86ھ/اکتوبر 705ء میں ہوئی اور ان کے بیٹے ولید ان کے جانشین بنے۔

  6. 6 · 705–715

    الوليد بن عبد الملك

    اموی خلیفہ جنھوں نے 86 تا 96ھ/705 تا 715ء حکومت کی اور چچا عبدالعزیز بن مروان کی وفات کے بعد بلا مخالفت اپنے والد عبدالملک کے جانشین بنے۔ دائرۃ المعارف اسلامیہ ان کے عہد کو اندرونی امن اور اندلس، ماوراء النہر اور سندھ تک بیرونی توسیع کا دور بتاتا ہے، اور انھیں فن تعمیر کا بڑا سرپرست کہتا ہے، جس میں دمشق کی جامع مسجد کی موجودہ صورت اور مدینہ میں مسجد نبوی کی تعمیر نو شامل ہے۔ مقالہ سوال اٹھاتا ہے کہ خود ان کا حصہ کتنا تھا، اور تجویز کرتا ہے کہ ان کی بڑی کامیابی حکمران خاندان کے گروہوں میں توازن رکھنا تھی۔

  7. 7 · 715–717

    سليمان بن عبد الملك

    بنو امیہ کے ساتویں خلیفہ ⁦(96 سے 99ھ/715 سے 717ء)⁩، عبد الملک بن مروان کے بیٹے۔ اسلامی انسائیکلوپیڈیا کے مطابق وہ غالباً مدینہ میں تقریباً 55ھ میں پیدا ہوئے، ولید کے دور میں جند فلسطین کے والی رہے اور 96ھ میں بلا مزاحمت تخت نشین ہوئے۔ ان کے دور میں قسطنطنیہ کے خلاف عظیم مہم ہوئی جو ناکام محاصرے پر ختم ہوئی، اور ان کی وفات دابق میں 99ھ میں ہوئی.

  8. 8 · 717–720

    عمر بن عبد العزیز

    عمر بن عبد العزیز، کنیت ابو حفص، اموی خاندان کی مروانی شاخ کے پانچویں خلیفہ تھے اور 99ھ/717ء سے 101ھ/720ء تک حکمران رہے۔ غالباً 60ھ/680ء کے لگ بھگ مدینہ میں پیدا ہوئے، 87ھ/706ء سے مدینہ کے گورنر رہے، سلیمان بن عبد الملک نے انھیں جانشین نامزد کیا، اور ان کی وفات معرۃ النعمان کے قریب دیر سمعان میں ہوئی۔ دائرۃ المعارف الاسلامیہ کے مطابق ان کی مالیاتی پالیسیاں اب بھی واضح نہیں اور ان کی بعد کی تصویر پیچیدہ ہے۔

  9. 9 · 720–724

    يزيد بن عبد الملك

    The ninth Umayyad caliph, Abu Khalid, born in year 71; he took the caliphate after Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz by his brother Sulayman's designation. On accession he declared 'follow the sira of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz' — forty elders testified there is no reckoning or torment upon caliphs — yet per Ibn al-Majishun he kept Umar's ways forty days then turned aside. In year two Yazid ibn al-Muhallab rose and was routed by Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik at al-Aqr. He died in late Sha'ban 105.

  10. 10 · 724–743

    ہشام بن عبد الملک

    اموی خلیفہ جو یزید بن عبد الملک کے بعد تخت نشین ہوا اور رصافہ میں وفات پائی؛ طبری اور مسعودی اس کے عہد اور وفات کا ذکر کرتے ہیں۔

  11. 11 · 743–744

    الوليد بن يزيد بن عبد الملك

    The eleventh Umayyad caliph, who succeeded Hisham in 126 by his designation; Ahmad's Musnad carries the hadith that a man called al-Walid would be harder on this umma than Pharaoh on his people, and Ibn Fadlallah in al-Masalik calls him the obstinate tyrant who shot the Mushaf with arrows. His cousin Yazid ibn al-Walid rose against him, killed him and took power, his caliphate lasting six months less a fraction at age thirty-five, or forty-six.

  12. 12 · 744–744

    إبراهيم بن الوليد بن عبد الملك

    Abu Ishaq, sworn in after his brother Yazid al-Naqis died — some say designated, others not; per Burd ibn Sinan, Qatan forged a deed of succession on Yazid's lips and had men witness it though Yazid had designated nothing. He held the caliphate seventy nights, then was deposed Monday 14 Safar 127 when Marwan ibn Muhammad marched on him; al-Mada'ini says his authority never settled — some greeted him as caliph, some as amir, some refused the bay'a. His seal read 'Ibrahim trusts in God'. He lived until 132, then was killed among the Banu Umayya in al-Saffah's massacre.

  13. 13 · 744–750

    مروان بن محمد بن مروان

    طبری مروان بن محمد کی خلافت، 132 ہجری میں زاب پر ان کی شکست اور اس کے بعد ان کے قتل کا ذکر کرتے ہیں۔

عباسی خلفاء کا وہ خاندان تھے جس نے 132ھ/750ء سے 656ھ/1258ء تک حکومت کی، اموی خلافت کے جانشین بنے اور نبی کے چچا عباس کی نسبت سے مشہور ہوئے۔ انسائیکلوپیڈیا آف اسلام ان کے اقتدار کو دو ادوار میں بانٹتا ہے: پہلے خلفاء کا اختیار فوجی سرداروں کے سامنے گھٹتا گیا یہاں تک کہ 334ھ/945ء میں بویہی بغداد میں داخل ہوئے، پھر خلفاء کے پاس برائے نام بالادستی رہی اور حقیقی طاقت سیکولر خاندانوں کے ہاتھ میں تھی۔ منگولوں نے 656ھ/1258ء میں بغداد کی خلافت ختم کی، اور مملوک قاہرہ میں برائے نام عباسی سلسلہ 1517ء تک جاری رہا۔

  1. 1 · 1031–1075

    Abbasid caliph [487–512], Abu'l-Abbas Ahmad ibn al-Muqtadi, born Shawwal 470, hailed at sixteen; Ibn al-Athir praises his mildness, noble hand and fine rescripts — 'his caliphate never knew calm: his days were turbulent, full of wars'.

    المقتفي لأمر الله محمد بن المستظهر

    Abbasid caliph [530–555], hailed at forty when his nephew was deposed — his laqab from a dream of the Prophet bidding him 'follow my steps'. Stripped by Mas'ud, his famous answer won his estates back; with the sultans broken his word rose — 'the beginning of the Abbasid state's recovery'. Dhahabi: among the noblest caliphs, nothing ran without his rescript. He deeded Egypt to Nur al-Din, renewed the Ka'ba's door, and died Sunday 2 Rabi' I 555.

  7. 7 · 1160–1170

    المستنجد بالله يوسف بن المقتفي

    Abbasid caliph [555–566]; he lifted Iraq's tolls and was hard on mischief-makers — to the man offering ten thousand dinars for a prisoner he answered 'take them, and show me another like him to jail'. Ibn al-Najjar praises his piercing mind and his craft of astrolabes and spheres. In his first year al-Adid, last of the Ubaydids, rose in Egypt; he died 8 Rabi' II 566.

    Abbasid caliph [622–623], fifty-two at accession — 'who opens a shop after asr, what does he earn?'

  13. 13 · 750–754

    أبو العباس السفاح

    Acclaimed caliph in Rabi' II 132. Al-Tabari mentions his coming to Abu Muslim and his death in 136. According to al-Suyuti, he was born in 108, or as some say in 104, at al-Humayma in the district of al-Balqa', where he grew up; his mother was Ra'ita al-Harithiyya. The motto on his seal was: God is the trust of the servant of God, and by Him he is kept safe. He was the most generous of men: he never promised a sum without delaying it past its due time. Al-Dhahabi said that in his reign the community split and obedience was abandoned from Tahert and Tubna to the lands of the Sudan and the whole realm of al-Andalus. According to al-Mas'udi, describing al-Saffah through a report from al-Qahir's informant, he was quick to shed blood, and his governors in East and West followed him in this, such as Muhammad ibn al-Ash'ath in the Maghrib, Salih ibn Ali in Egypt, Khazim ibn Khuzayma and Humayd ibn Qahtaba; yet he was also a generous, open-handed man who gave much money. According to al-Mas'udi, when Ibrahim knew there was no escape for him, he made al-Saffah his heir and charged him not to remain at al-Humayma until he had set out for Kufa. A Bedouin woman met them on the road and said: 'I have never seen faces like these, between one caliph, another caliph and a rebel: this one will hold it, you will succeed him, and that one will rise against you.' Dawud ibn Ali, in awe of him at Dumat al-Jandal, said: 'Whoever loves life is humbled,' and turned his mount to go with him. Abu Hamid al-Tusi discovered his affair at the Kunasa market and gave him the oath of allegiance on Friday, twelve nights into Rabi' II 132. He gave the sermon standing, unlike the practice of the Umayyads, and the people cried out: 'You have revived the sunna!' His caliphate lasted four years, nine months and twenty days, and he died at al-Anbar, in the city he had built. No caliph loved conversing with men as he did. When two of his intimates fell out, he would not accept the testimony of either against the other, saying that old grudges breed bitter enmity. When he was present, his face was at its most open. Al-Abdi, according to al-Mas'udi, said that he was quick to shed blood and his governors in East and West followed his example, such as Muhammad ibn al-Ash'ath in the Maghrib, Salih ibn Ali in Egypt, Khazim ibn Khuzayma and Humayd ibn Qahtaba; yet he was also a generous, open-handed man who gave much money

    Abbasid caliph, pledged allegiance after his father al-Mutawakkil was killed in 247, and he died in 248. According to al-Suyuti, he was first pledged heir apparent; then al-Mutawakkil wanted to advance al-Mu'tazz over him and asked him to step down, and when he refused, al-Mutawakkil kept lowering his standing. The Turks agreed with him to kill his father; five men entered upon the caliph and killed him on 5 Shawwal 247. According to al-Suyuti, he was handsome and dignified, of full intellect, eager for good and little given to injustice. Among his sayings: 'The pleasure of pardon is sweeter than the pleasure of vengeance, and the ugliest of al-Muqtadir's deeds was retaliation.' Yazid al-Muhallabi said of him: 'You were generous to the Talibiyyun after they had blamed the age, time after time, and you restored the kinship of Hashim, so that I see them, after enmity between them, as brothers'. According to al-Mas'udi, Bugha al-Saghir plotted his father's murder. He put Bugha to the test through his son Faris, then through his brother Wasif, then through Bugha himself, and Bugha said: 'He kills the son while the father remains; let us begin with the father first'. According to al-Mas'udi, he was proclaimed on the morning of the night his father was killed at al-Ja'fari, aged twenty-five. His mother was an umm walad called Habashiyya Rumiyya. He stayed seven days in the al-Makhura pavilion where his father was killed, the place where Shiruyah had killed his father Khusraw Parviz. Muhammad ibn Sahl the scribe saw in its carpet the figure of Shiruyah, who killed his father and ruled six months, and the figure of Yazid ibn al-Walid, who killed his cousin and ruled six months; he said: 'I do not see his rule lasting longer than six months', and so it was. He died in 248.

    Abbasid caliph. Al-Tabari reports that Ibn Tahir resolved to depose him in 251; he was then deposed and killed in 252. According to al-Suyuti he was Ahmad ibn al-Mu'tasim, brother of al-Mutawakkil, whose mother was Mukhariq. When al-Muntasir died the commanders gathered and said, 'If you make any of al-Mutawakkil's sons caliph, not one of us will be left', so they pledged allegiance to Ahmad, who was twenty-eight. In 251, when Wasif and Bugha Baghr the Turk were killed, the Turks turned against him; he was called 'a caliph in a cage, who says what the two of them tell him, as the parrot does'. Afraid, he went down to Baghdad. They brought out al-Mu'tazz, pledged allegiance to him, and deposed him. Al-Mu'tazz sent an army against him, and the people of Baghdad prepared to fight; the clashes went on for months, killing increased and prices rose. He deposed himself at the beginning of 252 and was sent down to Wasit, held in custody for nine months. He was the first to introduce wide sleeves, about three spans across, and to make caps smaller. According to al-Mas'udi he knew well the days and reports of people and loved the accounts of the past. One anecdote: he told his boon-companion that he craved food; when a loaf, vinegar and salt were brought, on the second night he said he was hungry, and explained to him the difference between the two statements. He asked him to describe food, drink, perfume, women and horses. The best food, he answered, is what meets hunger with a taste that suits desire, and the most desirable woman is the one you leave unwillingly and return to besotted; so the caliph gave him two hundred dinars. According to al-Mas'udi he was taken down to the house of al-Hasan ibn Wahb in Baghdad, then to Wasit; Sa'id al-Hajib killed him near al-Qatul on Wednesday, six nights into Shawwal 252, aged thirty-five. Nine months and a day lay between his deposition and his killing. According to al-Mas'udi he was the first to introduce wide sleeves.

    المعتز بالله

    Abbasid caliph, given the oath in Muharram 252 after al-Musta'in was deposed; he was deposed in Rajab 255 and died in Sha'ban. According to al-Suyuti he was second in succession after al-Muntasir and before al-Mu'ayyad; al-Mutawakkil wished to advance him, out of love for his mother Qabiha, without whom he could not be patient. According to al-Suyuti he was given the oath when al-Musta'in was deposed in 252, at nineteen; no caliph before him had come to the throne younger. In the first year of his reign Ashnas died leaving five hundred thousand dinars, which he took. He was the first caliph to ride with gold trappings; the caliphs before him had ridden with light silver trappings. He conferred the robe of rule on Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Tahir, then dismissed him; then on his brother Abu Ahmad, who was crowned with a crown, two sashes and two swords; then he dismissed him and exiled him to Wasit; then he conferred it on Baga al-Sharabi, who rose against him a year later and was killed. In Rajab he deposed his brother al-Mu'ayyad, beat him and shackled him, and he died. According to al-Mas'udi, al-Mutawakkil had made him second in succession after al-Muntasir, and al-Muntasir and his brother Ibrahim deposed him in 248. According to al-Mas'udi he is al-Zubayr ibn Ja'far al-Mutawakkil, and his mother was a slave-mother called Qabiha. He was given the oath on Thursday, two nights into Muharram 252, at eighteen; he deposed himself on Monday, three nights before the end of Rajab 255, and died six days later at twenty-four and was buried at Samarra. Al-Buhturi, on the deposition of al-Musta'in, composed a jibe sending him off to Wasit: 'Let claws grow in the flesh of chickens, as far as Wasit, behind the chicken'. According to al-Mas'udi, all the Turks came to him on four nights before the end of Rajab 255, led by Salih ibn Wasif, rebuking him for his sins and demanding money; he agreed to abdicate on terms of safe-conduct, and was killed in his confinement six days after his deposition. He was the first caliph to display riding with gold trappings, when the caliphs before him had ridden with light silver trappings.

    المهتدي بالله

    Abbasid caliph, pledged allegiance in Rajab 255 after al-Mu'tazz was deposed; he was deposed in Rajab 256 and died. According to al-Suyuti, he was tawny-skinned, slender, pious, devout, just, firm in God's cause and a brave man, but he found neither helper nor supporter. He fasted continually from his accession until he was killed, and a woollen shirt and the cloak he wore at night in prayer were found in his chest. He abolished entertainments and banned singing, restrained the powerful from injustice, and kept close watch over the bureaus, never missing his sitting on Mondays and Thursdays. When Hashim ibn al-Qasim fed him bread, salt, vinegar and oil, he said that among the Umayyads there had been Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, so he was jealous on behalf of the Banu Hashim; and when Ja'far ibn Abd al-Wahid mentioned Ahmad ibn Hanbal, he said: 'If it were lawful for me to disown my father, I would have disowned him'. According to al-Mas'udi, he was Muhammad ibn al-Wathiq. When the Turks besieged al-Mu'tazz they sent for him to Madinat al-Salam, and he was brought to Samarra within a day and a night; he refused to sit on the throne or accept the oath until he had seen al-Mu'tazz, and when they met they embraced and sat together on the throne. Al-Mu'tazz released him from his pledge, and the people accepted it; al-Mu'tazz had exiled and imprisoned him. According to al-Mas'udi, he took the path of moderation and piety, drew near to the scholars and raised the standing of the jurists, and said: 'O Banu Hashim, leave me to follow the path of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz.' He ordered the gold and silver vessels brought out of the treasuries to be smashed and struck into dinars and dirhams, images were erased from the assembly halls, butting rams were slaughtered and captive beasts of prey killed, and brocade hangings were taken down. The caliphs' tables had cost ten thousand dirhams a day, but he set his table and provisions at about one hundred dirhams, and he kept up continual fasting. After his death a woollen shirt and a shackle, which he used to wear to bind himself at night while he bowed and prostrated until morning, were found in his chest. He was killed leaving seventeen sons and six daughters. He had the two secretaries Ahmad ibn Isra'il and Abu Nuh brought out to the public gate; each was given five hundred lashes, and both died.

    المعتمد على الله

    Abbasid caliph, given the oath in Rajab 256 under the name al-Mu'tamid ala Allah after the death of al-Muhtadi. According to al-Suyuti he was Ahmad ibn al-Mutawakkil, his mother Fatyan. When al-Muhtadi was killed he had been confined in al-Jawsaq; they brought him out and gave him the oath. He made his brother al-Muwaffaq governor of the East, made his son Ja'far his heir with the title al-Mufawwad ila Allah, and became absorbed in pleasure and neglected his subjects, so people disliked him and loved his brother Talha. According to al-Mas'udi he was Ahmad ibn Ja'far al-Mutawakkil, kunya Abu al-Abbas, and his mother was a slave-mother from Kufa called Fatyan. He was given the oath on Tuesday, fourteen nights before the end of Rajab 256, aged twenty-five, and died in Rajab 279 aged forty-eight, so his caliphate lasted twenty-three years. He appointed as viziers 'Ubayd Allah ibn Yahya ibn Khaqan, then al-Hasan ibn Makhlad, then Sulayman ibn Wahb, then Sa'id. According to al-Mas'udi he was passionately fond of music; drinking and all kinds of pleasures and entertainments dominated him, and he asked 'Ubayd Allah ibn Khurradadhbih who first took up the 'ud. According to Ibn Khaldun, Yusuf ibn Tashfin seized him, led him captive to Marrakesh, and kept him in confinement there. According to Ibn al-Jawzi, in 271 he cursed 'Amr ibn al-Layth in the presence of the pilgrims of Khurasan and ordered him cursed from the pulpits, after dismissing him from the post he had given him and granting Khurasan to Muhammad ibn Tahir. He came to Baghdad five nights before the end of Shawwal 272 and alighted at al-Za'faraniyya, with 'Abd Allah ibn Tahir going before him with the spear.

    المكتفي بالله

    Abbasid caliph whose caliphate lasted six years and nineteen days; he died in 295 and was buried in the house of Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Tahir. According to al-Suyuti, he was born on 1 Rabi' II 264; his mother was a Turkish woman called Jijak, and his beauty was proverbial. His father named him heir, and he was pledged allegiance on the Friday eleven days before the end of Rabi' II 289, while he was at Raqqa. The vizier al-Qasim ibn Ubayd Allah took up the burden of the oath, and he reached Baghdad on 7 Jumada I. He demolished the dungeons his father had built and turned them into mosques, returned the gardens and shops his father had seized to their owners, and governed well, so the people loved him. In his last illness he said: 'I regret nothing but the seven hundred thousand dinars I spent of the Muslims' money on buildings I did not need.' He died young, on the night of Sunday, twelve days into Dhu al-Qa'da 295. According to al-Mas'udi, he left eight million dinars and twenty-five million dirhams in the treasuries, and nine thousand head of livestock, yet he was stingy and close-fisted. His daily table had ten dishes, and a kid every Friday; someone was set to count the leftover bread, sound loaves were returned the next day and broken pieces went into crumbled bread. He ordered a palace built at al-Shammasiyya opposite Qatrabbul and took estates and farms without payment, so many prayed against him, and he died before the building was finished. According to al-Mas'udi, when his illness grew severe with dysentery he summoned the judge Muhammad ibn Yusuf and Abd Allah ibn Ali ibn Abi al-Shawarib and had them witness his bequest of the succession to his brother Ja'far. He used to recite Ibn al-Rumi's line on the lauzinaj sweet, 'when it appears, you are amazed or wonder', and among his own verses is 'Life is only the hour you are in, and what has passed'. Ibn al-Nadim reports that the queen of the Franks wrote to him on white silk, seeking his friendship and asking to marry him, and sent the letter with a servant named Ali, one of Ibn al-Aghlab's servants, who had reached her land from the Maghrib. According to Ibn al-Jawzi, when he came to the caliphate (dated 295 in this account) he went down to the palace and ordered the dungeons demolished and the site made a congregational mosque, so that prayer was established in the three great mosques. On the day he entered the Hasani palace, al-Qasim ibn Ubayd Allah was given a kunya by word of mouth, put into six robes of honour, given a sword, and mounted on a horse whose bridle and saddle were gold. Also according to Ibn al-Jawzi, the oath of allegiance to him after his father was taken from the people of Baghdad on the Friday evening eleven nights before the end of Rabi' II 289, four days before al-Mu'tadid died; he was at Raqqa, took the oath from those there, then came down to Baghdad, arriving on Monday, eight days into Jumada I. He put al-Qasim ibn Ubayd Allah in charge of the soldiers' stipends and took the oath from them. The treasury held ten million dinars and jewels worth ten million dinars, apart from equipment and horses. He was twenty-five years, six months and twenty days old when he was pledged allegiance.

    محمد القاهر بالله

    Given the oath of the caliphate in 320, after al-Muqtadir was killed, and titled al-Qahir bi-llah. According to al-Suyuti he was Muhammad ibn al-Mu'tadid. Mu'nis and the amirs gave him their oath when they deposed al-Muqtadir on the night of 14 Muharram 317 and titled him al-Qahir bi-llah; he sat on the Sunday and held the procession on the Monday, when the troops came seeking al-Muqtadir to restore him. Al-Qahir was seized and brought in weeping, crying 'God, God, for my own sake!', and al-Muqtadir embraced him, saying: 'By God, you are blameless; take heart'. When al-Muqtadir was killed, al-Qahir and Muhammad ibn al-Muktafi were brought together. Ibn al-Muktafi was asked to take office and said he had no need of it and that this uncle of his had the better claim, so al-Qahir was given the oath. His first act was to confiscate the property of al-Muqtadir's family and torture them, beating al-Muqtadir's mother until she died under torture. He schemed against those who had risen against him, Mu'nis and Ibn Muqla, until he seized and slaughtered them; he walled up Ibn al-Muktafi between two walls, added to his titles 'the avenger of the enemies of God's religion', and had it struck on the coinage. He was rash, a shedder of blood, of bad conduct and addicted to wine. He made a great spear that he would not set down until he had killed a man with it. Then he was deposed and blinded. Al-Mas'udi says that he denied having money and was tortured, and then told al-Radi that the money was buried in the garden. They dug up the garden and the palace and found nothing, and he said: 'Is there money with me? My regret was only your sitting in it, and I wanted to grieve you there.' After his release he stood at the Mansur mosque, where people gave him alms, in the days of al-Mustakfi; he was prevented from leaving until he died in Jumada I 339, aged fifty-three. When he heard that al-Muttaqi had been blinded he said: 'We are two now and need a third', and so al-Mustakfi was blinded. Al-Mas'udi says he carried a great spear in his hand when he walked about his house, set it down before him when he sat, and struck with it whomever he meant to kill. He destroyed a number of men of the state, among them Mu'nis al-Khadim, Baliq and Ali ibn Baliq. Alone with Muhammad ibn Ali al-Abdi al-Khurasani, who was describing to him the caliphs of the Abbasid house, he lunged at him with the spear and missed. Al-Mas'udi also says that when he was pressed for the money he had hidden, he denied it and was harassed and tortured; al-Radi seized him, drew him near and honoured him, and swore that he would not seek his death. When he asked a favour, al-Radi granted it, and he said: 'I have no money except in the citron garden.' Al-Radi dug up the garden and uprooted its trees and found nothing, and said to him: 'Is there any money with me? My regret was your sitting in this place and enjoying it, and I grieved that others would be kept from it after me.' Al-Radi repented and sent him away, fearing that he would take some of its produce. Al-Qahir used to drink much in that garden, al-Jarib, which he had planted with citron brought from Basra and Oman; in it were turtle-doves and parrots. Ibn al-Athir says that at his deposition in 322, the Sajiyya and the Hajariyya found him asleep, having drunk most of the night; a young servant guided them to him with a sword in his hand, and he fought them with it until they softened their speech to him. It was also said that the cause of his deposition was that he cut the pay of the Sajiyya and the Hajariyya as far as possible, refused the requests of their chiefs, delayed their stipends, and treated harshly whoever addressed him among them. Ibn al-Athir also says that in 321 he seized Mu'nis, Baliq and Baliq's son Ali by a stratagem and slaughtered them in Sha'ban, and their heads were carried in trays from one to another. He sought Ahmad ibn al-Muktafi, found him and walled him up alive, and he died. He appointed Salama al-Tulunī chamberlain and Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Khaqan chief of police, and made Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn al-Qasim ibn Ubayd Allah his vizier. The people saw from his severity that none of them would escape his hand, and everyone who had helped him regretted it. Ibn al-Jawzi says that his kunya was Abu Mansur and that his mother, a muwallada named Qabul, died before his caliphate; he tortured al-Muqtadir's mother with every kind of torment, until it was said that he hung her head-down while her urine ran. Ibn al-Jawzi also says that he died in 339.
