Overview
Other reports
Al-Mas'udi says that al-Muqtadir appointed him vizier three times, and that his son Muhsin dominated affairs in the third, after which he and his son were arrested. 4
Ibn al-Athir says that al-Muqtadir arrested him in Dhu al-Hijja 299 AH, that three comets appeared a short time before that, and that he was put in charge of his house and his property was plundered. 5
The discrepancy in the years between al-Tabari and Ibn al-Athir is clear in the sources and needs an additional source to reconcile them.
