She was the mother of al-Mansur's son Ja'far 'Ibn al-Kurdiyyah' (<a href="/wiki/Arabic_Name" class="mw-redirect" title="Arabic Name">Nasab</a> translating to "Son of the Kurdish woman"). Unlike his other adult half-brothers, little is known of Ja'far and he likely was not involved in politics or had marriage or issue. However, his death is recorded at 802 AD by palace records suggesting he lived into adulthood and continued to live at court rather than having been banished or dying before adulthood.<sup id="cite_ref-Kennedy_46-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kennedy-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another concubine was Qali-al Farrashah.

There are varying accounts of the location and circumstances of al-Mansur's death. One account narrates that al-Mansur was on a pilgrimage to Mecca and had nearly reached, when death overtook him at a location called the Garden of the Bani Amir on the high road to Iraq at the age of sixty-three. According to this narration, he was buried in Mecca with his face uncovered because he was wearing the <a href="/wiki/Ihram_clothing" title="Ihram clothing">ihram clothing</a>. 100 graves were dug around Mecca with the intention to thwart any attempt to find and violate his bones.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A different narration from <a href="/wiki/Fadl_ibn_Rabi%27ah" title="Fadl ibn Rabi'ah">Fadl ibn Rabi'ah</a>, who claimed to have been with Mansur at his time of death, states that he died at al-Batha' near the Well of Maimun in which he would have been buried at al-Hajun at sixty-five years of age. In this narration, Mansur was sitting in a domed room hallucinating about ill-omen writings on the wall. When al-Rabiah replied "I see nothing written on the wall. Its surface is clean and white," al-Mansur replied, "my soul is warned that she may prepare for her near departure." After reaching the Well of Maimun, he reportedly said "God be praised" and succumbed to death that very day. </p><p>When al-Mansur died, the caliphate's treasury contained 600,000,000 <a href="/wiki/Dirhams" class="mw-redirect" title="Dirhams">dirhams</a> and fourteen million <a href="/wiki/Dinar" title="Dinar">dinars</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Al-Masudi_8-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Al-Masudi-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 33">: 33 </span></sup> On his deathbed, Mansur said, “We have sacrificed the life to come for a mere dream!”<sup id="cite_ref-50" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Al-Mansur&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Weh_Antiok_Khosrow" title="Weh Antiok Khosrow">al-Rumiya</a>, city used temporarily by al-Mansur as his seat</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bay%27ah_Mosque" title="Bay'ah Mosque">Bay'ah Mosque</a> is a mosque outside Mecca in Arabia, It was built on the orders of al-Mansur.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hasan_ibn_Zayd_ibn_Hasan" title="Hasan ibn Zayd ibn Hasan">Hasan ibn Zayd ibn Hasan</a> Abbasid Governor of Medina 766 to 772.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ibn_Ishaq" title="Ibn Ishaq">Ibn Ishaq</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sino-Arab_relations" title="Sino-Arab relations">Sino-Arab relations</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Al-Mansur&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-Robinson2011-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-Robinson2011_1-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><i>The Cambridge History of Islam, volume 1: The Formation of the Islamic World</i>, ed.
