Marzuban (c 963-December 998 was the Buyid amir of Iraq (983-987 as well as Fars and Kerman (988 or 989-998 'Adud al-Daula never definitively named a successor by the time of his death in 983. Marzuban (now Samsam al-Daula) took power in Baghdad as senior amir, but Shirdil also laid his claims to the succession, and from Kerman he invaded and captured Fars.
Shirdil, who now used the title "Sharaf al-Daula", soon found his position surrounded by enemies. In the west, Samsam al-Daula ruled in Baghdad, while two more of his brothers, Taj al-Daula and Diya' al-Daula, were in control of Basra and Khuzestan. Taj al-Daula was the Buyid ruler of Khuzestan during the 980s. Diya' al-Daula was the Buyid ruler of Basra during the 980s. He was the son of 'Adud al-Daula.

Despite this turn of events, Sharaf al-Daula was able to expand his position. He recovered Buyid Oman, which had earlier seceded to Samsam al-Daula. Oman, officially the Sultanate of Oman ( Arabic: سلطنة عُمان) is an Arab Country in Southwest Asia on the southeast In early 986 he captured Basra and Khuzestan, forcing the two brothers to flee to Fakhr al-Daula's territory.

He had managed to mostly preserve 'Adud al-Daula's empire, but the Buyids of Ray under Fakhr al-Daula had become effectively independent. He was succeeded by his brother Baha' al-Daula, but Samsam al-Daula escaped from prison and captured Fars, Kerman and Khuzestan. Baha' al-Daula (d December 22 1012) was the Buyid amir of Iraq (988-1012 along with Fars and Kerman (998-1012
