Years: 942 - 942

Bajkam had remained amir al-umara until his death in 941, whereupon Ibn Ra'iq had seized the opportunity to recover his position: he had sidelined Bajkam's successor Kurankij and secured his own reappointment as amir al-umara in September 941.

He does not long enjoy it, however, as in early 942 he is assassinated at the orders of the Hamdanid prince Nasir al-Dawla, who, with the assistance of his brother Ali (known as Sayf al-Dawla), soon succeeds him as amir al-umara.
