Al-Mu'tadid

16th Abbasid Caliph (r. 892–902)

Abū al-ʿAbbās Aḥmad ibn Ṭalḥa ibn Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn Hārūn (853/4 or 860/1 – 5 April 902), better known by his regnal name al-Muʿtaḍid bi-llāh (lit. 'Seeking Support in God'), was the caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate from 892 until his death in 902. Al-Mu'tadid was the son of al-Muwaffaq, who was the regent and effective ruler of the Abbasid state during the reign of his brother, Caliph al-Mu'tamid. As a prince, the future al-Mu'tadid served under his father during various military campaigns, most notably in the suppression of the Zanj Rebellion, in which he played a major role.
