The investiture of al-Sharif al-Radi in black with the headship of the nuqaba'

On Friday 16 Muharram 403 al-Sharif Abu'l-Hasan al-Musawi, al-Radi, was entrusted with the headship of the nuqaba' of the Talibids in all the realms. A patent to that effect came to him from the court of Baha' al-Dawla. It was read in the house of Fakhr al-Mulk in his presence, after the notables among the sharifs, judges, scholars and soldiers had been assembled, and he was robed in a black robe of honour, the first Talibid in the history of the Abbasid state to be so robed.
