Although the coup failed and Husayn was forced to flee the capital, he soon secured a pardon and served as governor in <a href="/wiki/Jibal" title="Jibal">Jibal</a>, where he again distinguished himself in military operations in south-central Iran. In ca. 911, he was appointed governor in <a href="/wiki/Mosul" title="Mosul">Mosul</a>, where he remained until rising in revolt in 914/5, for reasons that are unclear. Defeated and captured in 916, he was imprisoned in <a href="/wiki/Baghdad" title="Baghdad">Baghdad</a>, where he was executed in 918. Through his influence, the family rose to high offices, beginning a long period during which Mosul and the entire Jazira were ruled by the Hamdanids.

In order to avoid attempts by those (probably numerous) who desired his release to secure it by force, the caliph preferred to take a measure which put a stop to all intrigue".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECanard1971a619–620_4-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECanard1971a619–620-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Despite Husayn's rebellion and execution, the Hamdanid family continued to prosper: his brothers were soon released from captivity, and Abdallah rose to prominence by aligning himself with Mu'nis al-Khadim and sharing in the ups and downs of the court politics in Baghdad.

He was also singled out in being of Arab descent, an unusual case among the Caliphate's senior leaders of the period. Canard assesses him as unusually open-minded, and attuned to the ideological turmoil and ferment in the Muslim world of his time, as indicated by his contact with the <a href="/wiki/Sufi" class="mw-redirect" title="Sufi">Sufi</a> mystic <a href="/wiki/Al-Hallaj" title="Al-Hallaj">al-Hallaj</a>, who dedicated a work on politics to Husayn. Indeed, according to Canard, Husayn's espousal of Shi'ism, and his participation in the abortive coup of 908, can best be seen in light of a desire—typical of Shi'a sympathisers—for a renewal of the Caliphate and the establishment of an "ideal Muslim government", something which the corrupt and decadent Abbasids were no longer capable of.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECanard1971a619–620_4-14"
