, as well as Isḥāq, ʿUbayd Allah, ʿAbbās, Ibrāhīm, ʿĪsā, and several daughters.
His secretarial bureau was first run by Sulaymān ibn Wahb, then by ʿUbayd Allah ibn Yaḥyā ibn Khāqān, and by others after them.

211 – Aḥmad ibn al-Khaṣīb ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Jarjarāʾī, Abū al-ʿAbbās
The eminent vizier, Abū al-ʿAbbās, son of the amīr of Egypt.
Al-Muntaṣir appointed him vizier, and al-Mustaʿīn kept him in the post.
His standing rose high, then he was struck down, and al-Mustaʿīn banished him to the Maghrib in 248 AH.

Al-Ṣūlī reports from al-Ḥusayn ibn Yaḥyā that Ibn al-Khaṣīb used to give fifty dinars in charity every day; after his downfall he still gave fifty dirhams and curtailed his own spending.

Aḥmad ibn Abī Ṭāhir said: “He would flare up, pull his foot from the stirrup, and kick anyone who argued with him.”

So I composed:
Say to the Caliph, O cousin of Muḥammad:
Discipline your vizier, for he is unrestrained!
His tongue roams freely through our honor,
And his foot goes trampling chests. (1)

He died in 265 AH.
When he was deposed his property was confiscated; he was made to ride a donkey and was paraded in chains.
