He was mild-tempered, kept himself from harming anyone, and was devoted to his pleasures. The people were pained by his death. He bequeathed the throne to his son Nūr al-Dīn Raslān⦗1⦘ Shāh, who was ten years old, and entrusted the administration of the realm to Badr al-Dīn Luʾluʾ. The boy lingered in illness for a while and died that same year, whereupon Luʾluʾ set up his younger brother, a child of three, while he himself remained master of all affairs.
