August

The vizier had been assassinated in February 818 during al-Fadl’s long journey from Merv to Baghdad, and 'Ali ar-Rida dies in August 818, after a brief illness, at Tus. (Shi'ite historians attribute his death to poison, possibly administered by the caliph himself. His shrine (mashhad) at Tus becomes a pilgrimage place and gives its name to the city Mashhad, or Meshed. The Shi'ites attribute many miracles to 'Ali ar-Rida.)
