Al Muntasir lang ar died 862 was the Abbasid caliph in Baghdad from 861 to 862. His pious title means He that Triumphs in the Lord . Muhammad ibn Jarir al Tabari records that in A.H. 236 850 851 al Muntasir led the pilgrimage. The previous year al Mutawakkil had named his three son s heirs and seeming to favour al Muntasir. However, this appeared to change and al Muntasir feared his father was going to move against him. So, it seems he struck first. Al Mutawakkil was killed by a Turkish soldier on December 11, 861. Al Muntasir succeeded smoothly to the throne of the Caliphate on that same day in December 861 with the support of the Turkish faction after the murder of his father by a Turkish soldier. Al Muntasir was implicated in the crime. The Turkish party then prevailed on al Muntasir to remove his brothers from the succession, fearing revenge for the murder of their father. In their place, he was to appoint his son as heir apparent. On April 27, 862 both brothers, though al Mu tazz after a little hesitation, wrote a statement of abdication. Al Muntasir was lauded because, unlike his father, he loved the house of Al Shi a Islam Sh a and removed the ban on pilgrimage to the tombs of Hasan ibn Ali Hassan and Husayn ibn Ali Hussayn . He sent Wasif to raid the Byzantines. Al Muntasir s reign lasted less than half a year it ended with his death of unknown causes on June 7th or 8th 862. There are various accounts of the illness that carried him off, including that he was bled with a poisoned lancet. Al Tabari p. 222 3 states that al Muntasir is the first Abbasid whose tomb is known, that it was made public by his mother, a Greek slave girl and that earlier caliphs desired their tombs to be kept secret for fear of desecration. Joel L. Kraemer in his translation of al Tabari notes on page 223 Ayni comments, citing al Sibt b. al Jawzi , that Tabari s statement here is surprising since the tombs of the Abbasid caliphs are in fact known, e.g., the tomb of al Saffa ... more details

Although he was not recognised as a legitimate patriarch by his contemporaries, he is included in the traditional list of patriarchs of the Church of the East.

Surin s patriarchate The following account of Surin s reign is given by Mari blockquote Surin bribed Abanus, the emir of al Mada n, to send his henchmen to compel the people to consecrate him on the fifth Sunday of Easter. Some took the eucharist, while others broke the fast. Abanus sent his satellites against those who remained. They rounded them up and, standing by the very gates of the altar with drawn swords, forced them to consecrate Surin, which they did with tears in their eyes. Ya transl ar DIN qob, metropolitan of Jundishapur, as he spoke the words of the consecration over him, raised his hands to heaven and prayed that no good would befall him. Then the fathers told Saffah what had happened and begged for his help, and he had Abanus flogged and told the fathers to hold a fresh election. And so Surin was deposed in Hira on the Sunday after Ascension. Then the fathers went to al Mada n with Yahya ibn Ibrahim and consecrated Ya transl ar DIN qob. But Surin and his relatives ceaselessly attacked him, and finally al Mansur threw him into prison. Ya transl ar DIN qob was eventually released, and was asked by the faithful to send Surin to Maishan East Syrian Ecclesiastical Province Basra , since its metropolitan had died. Ya transl ar DIN qob granted their request, but Surin was hated by the people of Basra, and while he was received by some, he was shunned by others.
