Biography
Abu'l-Ghana'im Sa'd was the son of
Buyid rulers Jalal al-Dawla and Abu Kalijar. During his early life, Abu'l-Ghana'im Sa'd participated in his father's expeditions in Batihah
. At the ascension of Abu Kalijar's son al-Malik al-Rahim in 1048, Abu'l-Ghana'im Sa'd was appointed as his vizier, although nothing is known of him during this service.
In 1055, the
Tughril captured Baghdad and deposed al-Malik al-Rahim. Abu'l-Ghana'im Sa'd was shortly appointed as the governor of Wasit by the latter's vizier Al-Kunduri, but was suspected of preparing a rebellion by strengthening the defenses of the city. This shortly resulted in a Seljuq expedition to Wasit; Abu'l-Ghana'im Sa'd then rebelled and allied himself with al-Basasiri, with whom he openly changed their adherence to the Fatimid Caliphate of Egypt
. However, he was finally defeated in 1057 and was captured and executed. His death marked the end of the Fasanjas family.
