Hibatu’llāh ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Mujallī (1), Abū Naṣr.
He compiled collections of sermons and admonitions, and he studied ḥadith with a number of shaykhs. He died while still a youth, before he reached the age at which one is permitted to transmit—may Allah have mercy on him.

Abū Bakr ibn ʿUmar, the commander of the Mulaththimīn (2).
He was based in the land of Ghana (3) and enjoyed a prestige no other king attained. When he marched against an enemy, five hundred thousand fighters rode with him, each wholly obedient to him. He applied the legal limits, safeguarded the sanctities of Islam, protected the religion, and governed the people according to the Sacred Law with sound creed and unwavering loyalty to the Abbasid Caliphate. During one of his campaigns an arrow struck his throat and killed him in this year.

Fāṭimah bint ʿAlī, the tutor and calligrapher (4), known as “the daughter of al-Aqraʿ.”
She received ḥadith from Abū ʿUmar ibn Mahdī and others. She wrote the naskh script in the manner of Ibn al-Bawwāb (5), and people copied from her hand. The armistice dispatched from the chancery to the Byzantine emperor was penned in her script, and on one occasion she wrote a brief note to ʿAmīd al-Mulk al-Kundūrī, who rewarded her with one thousand dinars. She died in Muḥarram of this year in Baghdad and was buried at Bāb Abrazz.

Then the year 481 AH began.

In it: grave disturbances erupted in Baghdad between the Rāfiḍites and the Sunnis, and many serious events ensued.

In Rabīʿ al-Awwal: the Turks were expelled from the precincts of the Caliphate, a measure that strengthened the Caliphate itself.

And in the same year: Masʿūd, son of al-Malik al-Muʾayyad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Masʿūd ibn Maḥmūd ibn Subuktigīn, assumed control of the lands of Ghaznah after the death of his father.
