Naṣr bin AHmed (301-331H. /913-943 A.D) Put his brothers AbūZakarayaYaHya, Abū ṢaleHManṣūr and AbūIsHaqʾIbrahīm, in prison of Bukhara citadel. When he left Bukhara to go to Naysabūr, they were able to escape with the assistance of a man called AbūBakr Al-Khabaz Al-ʾAsbahanī". When Al-SaaīdNaṣr bin AHmed was informed of the news about the revolution of his brothers under the leadership of AbūZakarayaYaHya, he moved from Naysabūr to Bukhara. AbūZakarayaYaHya gave the authority of GaīHūn River to AbūBakr Al-Khabaz but he could not face the army of Al-SaaīdNaṣr who captured him and crossed the river to Bukhara. He tortured Al-Khabaz then put him in the oven. Ibn Al-ʾAthīr mentioned that he was burnt , but Al-Kardizī mentioned that they left him in a fired oven for a night. The next day they dragged him and his body was not burnt, sothe people were astonished. Bartūld narrates: “The influence of Abū-Bakr on the public is reflected on the myth which claimed that his body was thrown in a flaming oven. When he was out the next day, he was found sound and was unharmed".
