وَرَبُّنَـاْ لِمَـنْ يَشَـاْ يُعِـزُّ
سِتَّةَ أَشْهُـرٍ وَأَيَّـامٍ بِهَـاْ(3)
مِنْ بَعْدِهَاْ قَدْ أَدْرَجُوْهُ كَفَنَهْ(5)
وَقَـامَ في الخِلافَـةِ المُعْتَـزُّ
دَامَ ثَلاثَ سَنَـوَاتٍ مَعَهَـاْ
أَتمَّ أَرْبَعَاً وَعِشْرِيْنَ سَنَهْ(4)

(1) He is AL MUA'TAZZ BI'LLAH. Obu Abdallah Mohammed and said Zubair bin Jaafar Al-Mutawakkil bin Mohammed Al-Mutassim bin Harun al-Rashid bin Mohammed Al-Mehdi Bin Al-Mansour Abbasi.
(2) He was acknowledged Caliph on the abdication of al Musta'in Sunday the 25th of Rabii Al-Akher the year 252 A.H.(albedaia w alnehaia 11/2) (the completed history 6/148) then deposed himself and pledged allegiance to Al-MUHTADI BI'LLA'H in the 27th of Rajab ,255a.h and dropped dead in the month of Shaa'ban, in the year 255 a.h . .(albedaia w alnehaia 11/9-11) (the completed history 6/178, 182, 185).
(3) His succession was four years, six months and twenty three days. (albedaia w alnehaia 11/16) (The completed history 6/200).
(4) (albedaia w alnehaia 11/16). (The completed history 6/200).
(5) Al-Mua'tazz was impotent in the hands of the Turks, It happened that a number of the chiefs went to him and said, " O prince of the Faithful give us our pay and we will slay Salih the son of Wasif." Now Al-Mua'tazz feared him, wherefore he sent to his mother for money to distribute it among them, but she being extremely covetous, refused him and there was nothing left in the public treasuries. Then the Turks straightway agreed to depose him, and Salih-b-Wa^if and Muhammad-b-Bugha joined with them, they armed themselves and went to the palace and sent to al Mua'tazz, saying, “come out to us." He returned as answer, saying, “verily I have taken medicine and am weak." Then a number of them set upon him and dragged him by the foot, and beat him with clubs and made him stand in the sun in the fierce heat of the day and smote him
on the face, saying, " abdicate." Then they summoned the Kadhi Ibn Abi Shawarib with witnesses and deposed the caliph. Next they sent for Muhammad
the son of al Wathik (al Muhtadi) from Baghdad to the capital which was then at Samarra, as al Mua'tazz had removed him to Baghdad before , and al Mua'tazz resigned the Caliphate to him and swore him allegiance. Then the mob seized al Mua'tazz five nights after his abdication and put him into a hammam (the bathroom ). and when he had bathed he became thirsty, but they forbad him water. Then he was taken out and they gave him snow water which he drank and dropped dead. This occurred in the second Saturday of the month of Shaa'ban the honored, in the year 255a.h.
