Among those who died therein after the fifty were:

Ibn al-Khāzin the scribe (1) – Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Faḍl ibn ʿAbd al-Khāliq, Abū al-Faḍl, known as Ibn al-Khāzin, the Baghdadi clerk and poet. His handwriting was exceptionally fine, and he devoted himself to copying complete Qurʾānic codices. His son, Abū al-Fatḥ Naṣr Allāh, produced numerous copies of the Maqāmāt and compiled a dīwān of his father’s poetry, from which Ibn Khallikān quoted a large selection (2).

[Then entered] (3) the year 560 (4) AH.

In Ṣafar of that year a fierce riot broke out in Isfahan among the jurists over their legal schools; it lasted several days and many lives were lost.

That same year a massive fire erupted in Baghdad, destroying a great many quarters of the city (5).

Ibn al-Jawzī (6) records that during this year a woman in Baghdad gave birth to four daughters in a single pregnancy.

The people were led in the ḥajj [that year] (7) by the amir Buzughsh the Elder, [may Allah reward him] (8).

Among the notable figures who died that year was:

ʿUmar ibn Bahlīqā the miller (9) – He renovated the ʿAqabah Mosque in Baghdad and asked the caliph for permission to establish the Friday prayer there; permission was granted. He purchased the surrounding grave-plots and annexed them to the mosque (10), and the graves were subsequently exhumed, (11)
