Amir Ṣārim al-Dīn Qaymaz (1) ibn ʿAbd Allah (2) al-Najmī:
One of the leading dignitaries of the Ṣalāḥid state, he enjoyed with Sultan Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn the position of ustād dār (majordomo) (3), and he is the very one (4) who took possession of the palace when al-ʿĀḍid died. Through that he amassed immense wealth, yet he was lavish in charity and endowed many awqāf (charitable endowments). (5) On a single day he donated seven thousand dinars in hard cash. He founded the Qaymaziyya madrasa (6) east of the Victorious Citadel. What later became the Ashrafiyya Dār al-Ḥadīth had been this amir’s residence and contained a private bathhouse. King al-Ashraf subsequently purchased the property, converted it into a hadith college, tore down the bath, and built in its place living quarters for the teaching shaykh. When Qaymaz (7) died and was laid in his grave, his houses and store-rooms were broken into. Accused of hoarding an enormous sum, he was found to have left one hundred thousand dinars, though many believed he possessed still more, for he used to bury his money in the abandoned corners of his estates and villages. May Allah pardon him and soak his resting place in mercy.

Amir al-Kabīr Luʾluʾ (8):
One of the chamberlains of Egypt (9) and among the foremost commanders of the Ṣalāḥid state (10). (11) He took charge of the naval fleet, becoming a thorn in the throats of the Franks and, upon the sea, like the sea itself. How many a brave man did he capture, how many a ship did he shatter, how many of their fleets did he disperse, and how many a galley or skiff did he sink with all on board! Despite his constant jihād, he poured forth charity, spending freely every day. [At that time Egypt was suffering severe famine] (12), so he distributed twelve thousand loaves to twelve thousand people. May Allah reward him well, show him mercy in his grave, and whiten his face on the Day of Gathering and Resurrection. Āmīn.
