Altun-Tikin and killed him. He had just performed the Friday congregational prayer with Tughtekin, and the Assassin was burned. (1)

Ibn al-Fulansi says in his History (2): “He and Tughtekin were standing, encircled by Turks and young men brandishing every sort of weapon—swords, heavy sabres, and naked daggers—like a tangled thicket. Suddenly a man of no consequence sprang forward, invoked blessings upon Mawdud and begged alms from him, seized the hem of his robe, and struck him twice below the navel while swords rained down upon him.”
Mawdud was buried in the Tawawis khānqāh (Sufi lodge), and was later moved elsewhere. In Tiberias there was a Qur’an codex that ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, had sent there; Tughtekin transferred it to the Great Mosque of Damascus.

In the same year Arslan ibn Ridwan the Seljuq assumed power in Aleppo after his father’s death; he killed his two brothers as well as the Isma‘ili chief Abu Tahir the Goldsmith together with a number of their followers. (3)

In 508 AH Baldwin died of his wound. (4)

The Assassins also murdered Ahmadil, the lord of Maragha. (5)

In 509 AH the Franks became overbearing, ravaged the Syrian provinces, and seized Rafaniyya (6). Tughtekin marched out and recovered it. Having earlier rebelled against the Sultan and even fought part of his own army, he regretted his action and travelled in person to Iraq with splendid gifts, where he was received with great respect
