Coinage of Yahya Bin Ahmed: (The Origin and Imitation)
Atef Mansour M. RAMADAN
Naṣr bin AHmed (301-331H. /913-943 A.D) Put his brothers AbūZakarayaYaHya, Abū
ṢaleHManṣūr and AbūIsHaqʾIbrahīm, in prison of Bukhara citadel. When he left
Bukhara to go to Naysabūr, they were able to escape with the assistance of a man
called AbūBakr Al-Khabaz Al-ʾAsbahanī". When Al-SaaīdNaṣr bin AHmed was informed
of the news about the revolution of his brothers under the leadership of
AbūZakarayaYaHya, he moved from Naysabūr to Bukhara. AbūZakarayaYaHya gave the
authority of GaīHūn River to AbūBakr Al-Khabaz but he could not face the army of
Al-SaaīdNaṣr who captured him and crossed the river to Bukhara. He tortured Al-Khabaz
then put him in the oven. Ibn Al-ʾAthīr mentioned that he was burnt , but Al-Kardizī
mentioned that they left him in a fired oven for a night. The next day they
dragged him and his body was not burnt, sothe people were astonished. Bartūld
narrates: “The influence of Abū-Bakr on the public is reflected on the myth
which claimed that his body was thrown in a flaming oven. When he was out the
next day, he was found sound and was unharmed".
