Sources give the next Count of Girona commencing his rule in 811. So the exact date of Rostany's death and his relationship, if any, to his successor are ambiguous.Rostani is the title of Sayyid Sharif Rustam bin Saad bin Yaqoub bin Saad bin Yaqoub bin Muhammad Amin bin Saad bin Yaqoub bin Saad bin Ghaleb al-Ridhawi al-Qummi. Rustam is the father of Sayyid Sharif Mohsen al-Hassuna, the grandfather of the Sayyids al-Hassuna.
