Kitāb madhāhib al-Aʻrāb wa-falāsifat al-Islām fī al-jinn
Abbasid caliph whose death is the example of news said to be carried by the jinn.
and it was by the jinn's carrying of news that people came to know of the deaths of kings and of weighty matters — as they heard tell of al-Manṣūr's death on the very day he died, near Makkah.
Ansāb al-ʻArab al-qudamāʼ
The Abbasid caliph cited under his regnal by-name among those known by by-name alone.
And judge by this the by-names of the caliphs after Islam, for most of them are known by their by-name, as al-Fārūq, al-Ṣiddīq, al-Manṣūr, al-Rashīd, al-Maʼmūn and others.
