Overview
In 341 word came of war at Mecca between the Alid Abu 'Abd Allah Ahmad b. 'Umar b. Yahya and the Egyptians — it went against the Egyptians and Mecca's amir was killed. The pilgrimage that year passed peacefully: the Egyptians held the khutba for the Ikhshidid at noon on the day of 'Arafa, and the Alid held one after noon for Rukn al-Dawla and Mu'izz al-Dawla. In 342 further wars broke out at Mecca over the khutba and the Egyptians were routed 1.
