A zoroastrian convert, he and his brother Hasan made many enemies while wielding incredible power in the courts of al-Mamun, particularly that he was suspected of being a Shia Alavid supporter. Ibn Athir reports that this fact (along with being a former al-majusi) led to considerable amounts of enmity from his Arab rivals, and eventually led to his murder by the vengeful Arabs in Sarakhs. His brother was also eventually arrested, and al-Mamun moved his capital back to Baghdad from Merv. Source: wikipedia.org Previous Next Related links: Abu Wafa Buzjani, mathematician.
