Actually, Ibn Jabsh-who died at Uhud in
625-is said to have
himself been addressed as "Commander of the Faithful" during a
raid he made in the year preceding his death. Cf. Ibn Sa'd,
Tabaqdt, III, 63, II.
15 f. The stories about the
introduction of the title vary greatly. It is even said that
Muhammad addressed 'Umar as "Commander of the Faithful." Cf. Ibn
Kathir, Bidayah, VII, 137. |

Possibly barid. I do not know of
any Burayd in this context. However, according to al-'Askari,
Awd'il,
Paris, MS. Ar. 5986, fols. 75b-76a, one of two messengers
involved in this story was Labid b. Rabi'ah (apparently, the
famous poet). Ibn Khaldun's source may have had Labid or some
other proper name in this place. |

For
Abu Bakr, cf. n. 353 to this chapter, above. He and his father,
'Abdallah b. Mubammad, left on the pilgrimage in 485 [10921, and
visited Baghdad twice, once before the pilgrimage and once
afterwards; they performed the pilgrimage in 489 [1096]. It must
have been in 1097/98, during their second stay in Baghdad, that
Ibn Tashfin commissioned them to act as his ambassadors to al-Mustazhir
(1094-1118). 'Abdallah died on their return trip in 493 [1099].
Cf. Ibn Farbun, Dibaj, pp.
281 f. For the embassy, cf. also
'Ibar, VI,
188; de Slane (tr.), II, 82. |
