مارچ 1279 عیسوی · 1 ذوالقعدہ 677 ھ

Yahya ibn Abd al-Malik al-Ghafiqi, Abu al-Hasan, called Ibn al-Habbar, an Andalusi of Murcia who came with the refugee community; skilled only in penmanship, he rose from Ibn Abi al-Husayn's service to the diwan and then to al-Wathiq's seal, dominated state and sultan, tortured Ibn Abi al-Husayn to death in Dhu al-Hijja 676 over a hoard of six hundred thousand dinars dug from his house, and was cut down by the assembly at the sultan's gate on 1 Dhu al-Qa'da 677, his head thrown to the mob.
