And in that same year:
The Byzantine emperor marched against the lands of the Levant and seized many towns (1) from the Franks; Leon, the son of the Armenian king, submitted to him (2).

[Among the notable people who died that year]
Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Thābit [ibn al-Ḥasan] (3), Abū Saʿd al-Khujandī (4): he studied jurisprudence under his father, the imam Abū Bakr al-Khujandī al-Isfahānī, and was appointed—then dismissed and reappointed—several times to teach at the Niẓāmiyya Madrasa (5) in Baghdad. He attended hadith sessions and offered public exhortations. He died on the first of Shaʿbān this year, having nearly reached ninety years of age.

Hibatu’llah ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿUmar al-Ḥarīrī (6), known as Ibn al-Ṭabar: he heard a vast number of traditions. He was the last person to relate from Abū’l-Ḥasan Ibn Zawj al-Ḥurrah, and from him (7) Abū Bakr (8) al-Khaṭīb transmitted. He was reliable, possessed sound auditions, and was constant in remembrance of Allah and in Qur’an recitation. He retained full use of his senses and strength until he died in Jumādā al-Ūlā of this year at the age of ninety-six (9)—may Allah grant him abundant mercy and be pleased with him.

[Then the year 532 AH began]
In that year the deposed caliph al-Rāshid was killed. King Dāwūd and a company of leading emirs had joined him, and together they marched to fight Sultan (10) Masʿūd in the region of Marāgha. Masʿūd routed them, scattered their forces, and put many of their captives to death before him (11); among those slain was Ṣadaqah ibn Dubays. He then appointed Ṣadaqah’s brother Muḥammad (12) in his place over al-Ḥillah, while the deposed caliph fled.
