Ali ibn Mas'ud (Persian: علی ابن مسعود, romanized: ʿAlī ibn Masʿūd) was the Ghaznavid sultan, ruling from 1048 to 1049.[1] The son of Mas'ud I (r. 1030–1040), Ali succeeded his nephew Mas'ud II (r. 1048). Although Abd al-Rashid sent an army led by his vizier to Sistan to arrest Ghaznavi, the vizier changed sides and defeated Ali and replaced him with Abd al-Rashid and he was killed in 1050.[2]
