Abu Ja'far Muḥammad ibn Ja'far ibn Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Muntasir biʾLlāh (837 – 862), better known by his regnal name al-Muntasir, was the eleventh Caliph of the Abbasid Empire, ruling from 861 to 862, during the Anarchy at Samarra. He was the son of al-Mutawakkil and the older brother of al-Mu'tazz.[1] After only one year as caliph, al-Muntasir suddenly became ill and passed away, causing suspicions of foul play to fall onto his vizier Ahmad ibn al-Khasib, whom some believed wanted to assure al-Musta'in's ascension to the throne.[2]
