أَشَـانَـهُ في العَالَمِيــــنَ قَوْلُـــــــــهُ
 خَافَ بهَذَا القَوْلِ مِنْ رَبِّ السَّمَاْ
وَأَرْبَعُـوْنَ وَثمَـانٍ عُمْـرُهُ(5)​

وَ وَلِيَ المَأْمُـونُ غَـيْرَ أَنَّــــــهُ
بِأَنَّ قَوْلَ اللهِ مَخْلُـوقٌ (3) و مَـــا
عَشْرَاً مِنَ السِّنِينَ دَامَ عَهْدُهُ (4)​

Marginal Legend:

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 Ja’afar A'bdu'Uah Al Mamun B.Harun ALRashid B.Muhammad ALMahdi B.ALMansur. He was born in the year 170a.h, on Thursday night in the middle of Rabii' I, the same night on which al Hadi died, and on which his father ar Rashid, succeeded him.

 

(2) When his brother Mohammed was killed on the 4th of Safar in the year 198 a.h( others  said in Muharam ), AlBay'ah- the Oath of allegiance-was Certain for him in the east and the west of the Islamic state.(ALbedaia w alnehaia 10/244)

He died in Tarsus in Thursday the 17th of Rajab in the year 218 a.h. (ALbedaia w alnehaia 10/280) (The complted History 6/8).

 

(3) And with the start of his reign, the crisis and the fitna started (ALbedaia w alnehaia 10/272-274) (The complted History 3-6/8).Ibn Kathir said: Al-Mamun wrote his will in the presence of his brother Al-Mo’atasem , his son Ala’abas , a group of Judges , rulers , ministers and writers. The will stated that: " From A'bdu'llah al Mamun, and his brother Ishak the Caliph after him, under the authority of these presents." Indicating that he is bequeathing that his brother must succeed him. Also they said that he mentioned the creations of the Qur'an and died without repented from this belief a.h . (ALbedaia w alnehaia 10/280).

 

(4) He succeeded for twenty years, five months and twenty three days with the deduction of two years. He was called caliph in Mecca when his brother Al-Amin was trapped in Baghdad (AL-bedaia w Al-nehaia 10/280) (The completed History 6/8).

 

Perhaps the author has missed this, and for the successful completion of the benefit, I rewrote the verse as the following عشرون حولا قد اطيل عهده   which means twenty years his succession of states were.
