75 – Al-Muʿīn Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn Ṣadr al-Dīn
The upright master, commander of the armies, and emir, Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan, son of Shaykh al-Shuyūkh Ṣadr al-Dīn.
Born: Damascus, in the middle eighties of the sixth century AH ⦗1⦘.
He first rose through the ranks in the reign of al-Kāmil, then gained extraordinary stature under al-Ṣāliḥ, serving him as vizier. He was subsequently placed in overall command of the Egyptian forces and the Khwārazmian contingent. Marching on Damascus, he besieged the city and wrested it from al-Ṣāliḥ Ismāʿīl; he then entered the Citadel, issuing orders and prohibitions at will. His enjoyment of power, however, was short-lived: he contracted severe dysentery with bleeding and died on 22 Ramadan 643 AH, still in the prime of life. He was buried beside his brother al-ʿImād. Only four and a half months separated the attainment of his ambition from the approach of his demise.
He was known for his liberality and generosity, while his brother Fakhr al-Dīn remained in prison.
