Walker identifies the unnamed prince with Abu'l-Qasim Ahmad, whose birth had been publicly announced in 1060. That prince had likely died in the meantime, as the future al-Musta'li, born in 1074, was given the same name.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWalker1995251_7-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalker1995251-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <span title="Arabic-language romanization"><i lang="ar-Latn">al-Hidaya al-Amiriyya</i></span> and other accounts further assert the legitimacy of al-Musta'li's accession by reporting stories that on the wedding banquet of al-Musta'li, or on his deathbed, al-Mustansir had chosen him as his heir, and that one of al-Mustansir's sisters is said to have been called to him privately and received al-Musta'li's nomination as a bequest.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEGibb1993725_10-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGibb1993725-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEStern195025–29_30-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStern195025–29-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWalker1995252,_257_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalker1995252,_257-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Modern historians, such as <a href="/wiki/Farhad_Daftary" title="Farhad Daftary">Farhad Daftary</a>, believe these stories to be most likely attempts to justify and retroactively legitimize what was in effect a <a href="/wiki/Coup_d%27%C3%A9tat" title="Coup d'état">coup d'état</a> by al-Afdal.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDaftary2007241_13-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDaftary2007241-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>However, al-Maqrizi also includes a different narrative that casts doubt on whether al-Afdal's move was really a carefully prepared coup. When al-Afdal summoned three of al-Mustansir's sons—Nizar, Abdallah, and Isma'il, apparently the most prominent among the caliph's progeny—to the <a href="/wiki/Fatimid_Great_Palaces" title="Fatimid Great Palaces">palace</a> to do homage to al-Musta'li, who had been seated on the throne, they each refused. Not only did they reject al-Musta'li, but each of them claimed that al-Mustansir had chosen him as his successor. Nizar claimed that he had a written document to this effect. According to Zebda Al Tawarikh, written by Jamal Al Din Abu al-Qasim Kashani, the document that Nizar claimed to have was entrusted to the Fatimid Dai named Abu Al Hassan Saeed, then Hassan Saeed brought it to Nizar's presence. Nizar opened the document handwritten by Al-Mustansir and it said "My son Nizar is my Successor and whoever wants to follow him is on the right path." This is a story that came from Alamut, in a surviving book in which the author is called Shah Murad Hadi and in his book he mentions the reference to a book from Alamut.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHalm201488_32-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHalm201488-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWalker1995253_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalker1995253-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This refusal apparently took al-Afdal completely by surprise.
