al-Mustadī '
Abū Muhammad al-Hasan ibn al-Mustanjid ( Arabic أبو محمد الحسن بن المستنجد, DMG Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan ibn al-Mustanǧid ; * 1142 ; † March 30, 1180 ) with the throne name al-Mustadī 'bi-amr Allāh (المستضيء بأمر الله / al-Mustaḍīʾ bi-amr Allāh / 'the one enlightened by the command of God') was the thirty-third caliph of the Abbasids (1170–1180).
Al-Mustadī ', the successor to his father al-Mustanjid (1160–1170), is considered a pious and exemplary ruler in Muslim historiography . This is mainly due to his support for the traditional scholars as well as the generous support he gave to the schools of the Hanbalites . One of the most important scholars under his rule was Ibn al-Jschauzī , also a Hanbalit who, during his time in Baghdad, was active as a teacher, preacher and author.
Politically, however, al-Mustadī 'was rather insignificant. After all, the caliphs did not come under the control of the Seljuks again . Al-Mustadī 'died on March 30, 1180. Heir to the throne was his son an-Nāsir (1180-1225).
