In 253 Wasif al-Turki was killed in Shawwal, after groups of troops caused disorder demanding their pay. Al-Mu'tazz then transferred the affairs that had been in Wasif's hands to Bugha al-Sharabi ¹. According to al-Mas'udi, the people of the Karkh quarter of Samarra, of the Faraghina and the Turks, fell upon him, and Bugha got clear of them; Salih ibn Wasif was put in his father's place ².
