He was the son of Muhammad ibn Ubayd Allah al-Khaqani, vizier from 912 to 913, and grandson of Ubayd Allah ibn Yahya ibn Khaqan, vizier from 851 to 861 and 870 to 877.[1] He served as a secretary under his father, and in June 924 became vizier himself, in succession to Ali ibn al-Furat.[1] He was unable to deal with the challenges facing the Abbasid government at the time, and was dismissed in November 925, on the insistence of the commander-in-chief Mu'nis al-Muzaffar, who at the time was the virtual regent of the Caliphate.[1][2] As was customary, he was imprisoned and forced to pay a fine. Released, he died in 926/7.[1]
