Among the notables who died in that same year were:

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm (1) [ibn Abī Ayyūb], Abū Bakr al-Fawrakī, the grandson of [the master] Abū Bakr ibn Fūrak. He took up residence in Baghdad and, as a dialectical theologian, preached to the people in the Niẓāmiyyah College, whereupon turmoil broke out among the followers of the various schools. Ibn al-Jawzī said: “He gave precedence to this world over the next; he did not refrain from wearing silk; it is also reported that he collected the charcoal tax [and sowed enmity between the Ḥanbalīs and the Ashʿarīs].” He died this very year at a little over sixty years of age and was buried beside the grave of al-Ashʿarī at Mashraʿat al-Rawāyā (2).

Al-Ḥusayn (3) ibn ʿAlī (4), Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Mardūsī. He was the foremost man of his age and the most consummate in honor. He had held office in the days of the Buyids and lived on until this time; kings used to correspond with him, extolling him as “their servant and slave.” (5) He was abundant in charity, gifts, and benevolence, and he reached ninety-five years of age, [having prepared his own grave and shroud five years before his death]. May Allah have mercy on him.

Abū Saʿd al-Mutawallī (6), ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Maʾmūn ibn ʿAlī—known as Abū Saʿd al-Mutawallī—author of “al-Tatamma” (7) and lecturer at the Niẓāmiyyah after Shaykh Abū Isḥāq al-Shīrāzī. He was eloquent, articulate, and skilled in many branches of knowledge. He died in Shawwāl of this year at the age of fifty-two—may Allah have mercy on him. The judge Abū Bakr al-Shāshī led the funeral prayer, and he was buried at Bāb Abraz.

[Imām al-Ḥaramayn] (8) ʿAbd al-Malik, son of [Shaykh Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yūsuf ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yūsuf ibn
