Note 261 — JA’AFAR BIN YAHYA AND ABD AL-MALIK BIN SALIH THE ABBASIDE.[258]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
In Ibn Khallikán (i. 303) he is called the “Hashimite,” from his ancestor, Hashim ibn Abd Manáf. The Hashimites and Abbasides were fine specimens of the Moslem “Pharisee,” as he is known to Christians, not the noble Purushi of authentic history.
