Jinin (1), while al-Nasir was at Sebastia. Al-Nasir fled, whereupon the troops seized his supplies and baggage-trains; they enriched themselves with them, and he was plunged into abject poverty. He then returned to al-Karak with nothing but the clothes on his back, stripped of all wealth and equipment, whereas al-Jawad went back to Damascus strengthened and victorious.

In that same year:
The Khwarazmian forces quarreled with al-Malik al-Salih Najm al-Din Ayyub ibn al-Kamil, lord of Hisn Kayfa and its surrounding districts, and resolved to arrest him. He escaped, but they plundered his money and baggage. He sought refuge in Sinjar, where Badr al-Din Luʾluʾ, ruler of Mosul, moved against him intending to besiege him and carry him in a cage to the caliph. The people of the area disliked having him as a neighbor because of his arrogance and the harshness of his rule, and his capture seemed imminent. He therefore wrote to the Khwarazmians and sought their help (2), promising them rich rewards. They raced to him in swift detachments to shield him from Badr Luʾluʾ. When Luʾluʾ learned of their arrival he fled, and they in turn seized his wealth and baggage, discovering riches beyond measure or description. Luʾluʾ returned to Mosul empty-handed and frustrated, while al-Salih Ayyub was delivered from the ordeal he had been facing.

Among the notable deaths of the year was that of the preacher al-Khatib al-Dawlaʿi (3) Muhammad ibn Zayd ibn Yasin, known as Jamal (4) al-Din al-Dawlaʿi, named after a village at the foot of Mosul. We mentioned this when recording the biography of his uncle ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Yasin, also a preacher in Damascus.

He taught at the Ghazaliyya Madrasah while holding the pulpit, but at one time al-Muʿaẓẓam forbade him to issue legal opinions (5). Al-Sibt reproached him for this, and he excused himself by saying that the scholars of his homeland had advised him to refrain (6) because of the many errors in his fatwas. He was extremely diligent in his duties, scarcely leaving the prayer-hall, and he never performed the pilgrimage despite his considerable wealth. He endowed a school in Jayrun (7) [and certain properties in the Great Mosque]. When he died and was buried in the school he had founded in Jayrun (8), the pulpit was thereafter filled.
