وَتِسْعَةٌ مِنَ الشُّهُوْرِ قَدْ أَتمّْ(3)

في عَدْلِهِ وَحُكْمِهِ قَدْ اِنْتَهَىْ(4)

ثُمَّ ثَلاثٍ أُثْبِتَتْ يَقِيْنَاْ

مُحَمَّدُ الظَّاهِرُ بَعْدُ قَدْ حَكَمْ

وَهْوَ الَّذِيْ بِالْعُمَرَيْنِ شُبِّهَـاْ
في سِتُّمَائَةٍ تَلِيْ عِشْرِيْنَا

Muhammad is the messenger of God. He sent him with guidance and the true religion to reveal it to all religions even if the polytheists abhor it.

(1) He is Abu Nasr Muhammad bin Ahmid an Nasir li dini'llah bin AlHassan

Al Mustadhi Bi Allah  bin Yousif al Mustanjid bi'llah bin Muhammad ALMuktafi bin ALfadhl AlMustarshid bin Ahmid u'l Mustadhir Billah Abdullah AlMuktadi BiAmir Allaha bin Muhammad bin Abdullah alkaim biamir Allah bin Ahmid bin Jaafar almuqtadir bin ahmid almua’tadid bin  Talha almuwafaq bin Jaafar almutawakil bin Muhammad almua’tasim ibn Harun ArRashid bin Muhammad almahdi bin ALMansur Alabbasi.

 

(2) He succeeded to the Caliphate on his father's Al-Nasir le din Allah  death, which was in Sunday the last day of Ramadan .622 a.h (albedaia w alnehaia 13/106)(the completed history 10/543) and died in Friday the 13th of Rajab 623a.h (albedaia w alnehaia 13/112)(the completed history 10/464).

taxation throughout the whole of I'rak and the disctwitinuance of what his father had recently imposed ; all this being an amount beyond computation. As an illustration of his justice, the Treasul-y scales exceeded its measure by half a kirat (two grains) in a mithkal (twenty grains) and they accepted payments according to this standard but issued them according to the scale of weights in use in the provinces upon this a mandate was dispatched to the prime minister, beginning " Woe be unto those who give short measure" (Kur. LXXXIII) and it continued " We have heard such and such reports: let the Treasury scales be re-altered to what is customary in the mercantile transactions of the people."
