Overview
In 289 AH al-Tabari mentions the killing of Badr, the slave of the caliph al-Mu'tadid. 1
The cause in al-Tabari
Al-Tabari says that al-Qasim ibn Ubayd Allah feared that Badr would come before al-Mu'tadid's successor al-Muktafi and tell him what al-Qasim had planned: to turn the caliphate away from the sons of al-Mu'tadid. So he worked for Badr's destruction. 1
What is not covered here: the details of the killing and the accounts of other sources. This needs an additional source.
