al-Din mounted in the dark before dawn. He sent the captains after the vanguard and pressed the pursuit. Talab al-Diwiyeh (1) charged him; his men scattered, a spear-thrust struck him, he fell, and was slain. His mamluks plundered his possessions, his chamberlain was killed beside him, and several others also perished (2).
The Muslims then regrouped; his body was carried away and buried in Cairo.
Killed: in Dhu al-Qaʿdah (3), 647 AH.
