Overview
Khalifa ibn Khayyat says that al-Ma'mun sent Sulayman ibn Dawud ibn Isa ibn Musa to lead the pilgrimage of 199, but Ibn al-Aftas, whom he names Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Hasan ibn Husayn ibn Ali (may God be pleased with him) ibn Abi Talib (may God be pleased with him), rose at Mecca and raised the white banner; Sulayman withdrew without going to Arafa, and the people stood at Arafa without an imam. 1
A disputed name
A marginal note in the manuscript says that al-Aftas was al-Hasan ibn Ali (may God be pleased with him) and that the man in control of Mecca in the days of Abu al-Saraya was Husayn ibn al-Aftas; the editor draws attention to it. 1
The following year
In the year 200 Abu Ishaq, son of the commander of the faithful, led the pilgrimage; Muhammad ibn Ja'far ibn Muhammad and Ibn al-Aftas rose at Mecca, and Abu Ishaq overcame them and sent them to al-Ma'mun. 2
