198 – al-Rāshid bi-Allah, al-Ḥasan ibn Jaʿfar al-ʿAlawī *
The noble sharīf, ruler of Mecca, al-Ḥasan ibn Jaʿfar al-ʿAlawī.
The vizier Abū al-Qāsim ibn al-Maghribī had fled from al-Ḥākim and become one of his sworn enemies. He therefore persuaded Ḥassān ibn Mufarrij to rise against al-Ḥākim because of the latter’s oppression and unbelief, instructing him to install the lord of Mecca as imām on account of his sound lineage. Ḥassān hurried to Mecca, pledged allegiance to its ruler, seized the Kaʿbah’s funds and the merchants’ money, and they conferred upon him the title “al-Rāshid.” He then set out for Syria, where Ḥassān’s father and the Arab notables received him. He gained control, and the Friday sermon was delivered in his name from the pulpits.
He wore at his side a sword he claimed was Dhū al-Faqār, held in his hand the Prophet’s staff ﷺ, was accompanied by several relatives, and had in his train a thousand slaves. When he encamped at al-Ramla, al-Ḥākim opened correspondence with the aforementioned Mufarrij ibn Jarrāḥ, winning him over with promises and threats. Sensing what was happening, al-Rāshid lost heart, clung to Mufarrij for protection, and said:
“I would count myself fortunate to get away alive; it was you who enticed me.”
Mufarrij equipped him for the journey back to the Ḥijāz, while Ibn al-Maghribī slipped off to Iraq. This occurred in the year a few years past 400 AH (1).
