المستنصر بالله معد بن الظاهر
Ma'add ibn al-Zahir, eighth Ubaydid caliph, enthroned at seven in 428 and reigning sixty years and four months — al-Dhahabi knows none in Islam who lasted so. In his days came the seven-year famine unmatched since Joseph; his khutba sounded at Baghdad's Mansur mosque when al-Basasiri held the city on his money.

الغلاء والوباء العام سنة 448
In 448 Egypt saw severe drought and rampant plague while Iraq was awash with strife, fear and looting from Tughril Beg's bands, the Bedouin and al-Basasiri; famine and pestilence struck until people ate carrion — a makuk of clover seed reached seven dinars, a pomegranate a dinar — and a report from Egypt told of three thieves found dead mid-burglary, one at the door, one on the stairs, one on the folded clothes.

الطاعون والمجاعة العظمى
The great plague-and-famine of 448–449: wheat at 90 then 180 dinars the kurr in Baghdad, a thousand deaths a day, the sultan shrouding 18,000 corpses at his own expense four and five to a bier; a Transoxianan merchants' letter counting 18,000 funerals in a single day and 1,650,000 dead before the ink dried — graves dug for twenty at a time, markets empty, the poor eating dogs and exhuming the dead, and a general repentance of wine-pouring and instrument-breaking.

زلزلة الرملة الكبرى

تلقيب يوسف بن تاشفين بأمير المسلمين
In 479 Yusuf ibn Tashfin, lord of Sabta and Marrakesh, asked al-Muqtadi to make him sultan and invest him with the lands he held; the robes, banners and deed were sent with the title amir al-muslimin — the Maghreb's jurists rejoiced. He is the founder of Marrakesh.
