The reign of ʿImād lasted sixteen years, and he himself lived a little over fifty.
He died in Jumada al-Ula of the year 338 AH; some said it was 339.

When he gained control of Shiraz, his commanders pressed him for money and rebelled. Distressed, he lay down; glancing upward he noticed a snake in the ceiling, took fright, and called for the attendants. They set up a ladder, discovered a loft that could be entered, and at his order broke it open. Inside were chests holding about five-hundred thousand dinars. The chests were brought down, he rejoiced, and spent the money on the army (1).

Later he summoned a tailor to cut some clothes for him. The man was hard of hearing, panicked, and began answering questions that had not been asked, swearing that he possessed only twelve chests left in trust. ʿImād al-Dawlah was astonished; the chests were produced, and sure enough they were filled with money and brocade garments. This, too, was counted among the tokens of his approaching good fortune. He left no offspring (2).
