know that some people hated him because he was marked by stinginess, miserliness, severity,
alienation, tricks, and other vices and evil deeds, in addition to the evil deeds of his family who
was famous for their treason toward the community.
Al‐Mansur wakefully spent his nights reflecting on oppressing the 'Alawids and scheming against
them. At last he decided to send someone to spy on their affairs and to come to know of
Muhammed and his brother Ibrahim. So he chose a man and sent with him a letter to Muhammed
on behalf of the Shi'ites who mentioned their obedience (to him), their hurrying (to him), their
sending money and gifts. The man went to Medina. He came in to 'Abd Allah b. al‐Hasan and
asked him about his son Muhammed, and he concealed his news. He frequently went to him and
insisted on asking him about him. So 'Abd Allah was deceived by him and said to him: "He
(Muhammed) is in Mount Juhayna." He ordered him to pass by 'Ali called al‐Aghar to guide him to
his place. Al‐Mansur had a Shi'ite secretary.
The secretary wrote a letter to 'Abd Allah b. al‐Hasan and informed him of the spy. When his
letter came, they were afraid, so they sent Abu Habbar to Muhammed and 'Ali, al‐Hasan's sons, to
warn them against the man. Abu Habbar went out and reached Muhammed in his place. He found
him along with a group of his companions sitting in a cave. That spy was with them. He was the
loudest of them in voice and the greatest of them in humbleness. When he saw Abu Habbar, he
feared him and came to know that he would disclose his affair to the people. Abu Habbar said to
Muhammed: "I have a need with you." He rose and went with him, and he told him about the
affair of the man and advised him to kill him. However, Muhammed did not respond to him. Then
he advised him to shackle him and to deposit him with his womb relatives, and he responded to
that. When the man felt that which was schemed against him, he escaped and hid himself from
them. They looked for him but did not find him. He went in disguise to al‐Mansur and told him
about the affair.
Al‐Mansur summoned 'Aqaba b. Salam al‐Azdi and said to him: "I want you (to go) for an affair in
which I am concerned. I am still looking for a man for it;
perhaps you are he. If you are sufficient to it on my behalf, I will promote you." So 'Aqaba said: "I
hope that I will accept the reflection of the Commander of the faithful on me." As a result al‐
Mansur commanded him to hide his personality, to conceal his affair, and to meet him at a time
he appointed to him. Al‐Mansur said to: "These cousins of us have refused all things except
scheming against our kingdom and assassinating us. They have followers in Khuresan in a village
called so‐and‐so. They wrote (letters) to them and send them the alms due on their properties,
and some gifts from their country. Therefore, take clothes, gifts, and other materials and go to
them in disguise along with a letter we will write on behalf of the villagers. Then head for them. If
they change their mind, then show love toward them and bring them near. If they insist on their
own viewpoint, you must know that and beware (of them). So head for 'Abd Allah b. al‐Hasan and
