Overview
Abu al-Fath al-Fadl ibn Ja'far ibn al-Furat, the last vizier of al-Muqtadir. 2
The day al-Muqtadir was killed
He was the vizier of al-Muqtadir on the day he was killed at the Gate of al-Shamasiyya in 320 AH. 2
Al-Mas'udi relates that the vizier took the astrological reading at the hour the caliph rode out to the battle. When he told him that the time was the zenith, al-Muqtadir frowned and wanted not to go out. 2
His life before the vizierate and after the caliph's death needs an additional source.
