Ibn al-Ḥuṣarī, Ibn al-Bannāʾ, and—while in Baghdad—ʿAbd al-Salām al-Dāhirī, along with a number of others.

Al-Diyaʾ said: al-Muḥsin acquired an abundance of knowledge; people benefited greatly from his teaching, and he pursued the study of hadith in the proper manner.

I add: Among those who narrated from him were the judge Shams al-Din Ibn al-Shirazī—one of his own teachers—Majd al-Din Ibn al-ʿAdīm, and our shaykh Sunqur al-Zaynī.

He died in Muḥarram of the year 644 AH. His brother al-Ṣāliḥ Ahmad, lord of Ayntab, remained alive until 651 AH. Their mother had been a concubine.

123 – al-Nāṣir Yūsuf ibn Muḥammad ibn Ghāzī ibn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb

He was the sultan al-Malik al-Nāṣir Ṣalāḥ al-Dunyā wa al-Dīn Yūsuf, son of al-Malik al-ʿAzīz Muḥammad, son of al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Ghāzī, son of Sultan Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, ruler of Aleppo and Damascus.

He was born in Ramadan of the year 627 AH.

His maternal uncle, Sultan al-Malik al-Kāmil, placed him on the throne in 634 AH out of regard for his own sister al-Ṣāḥiba, the grandmother of al-Nāṣir; the affairs of state were then managed by al-Maqarr Shams al-Din Luʾluʾ al-Aminī.
