and she was buried on Mount Qāsiyūn (1). In her service was the pious and learned shaykha Amat al-Latif (2) bint al-Nāṣiḥ al-Ḥanbali, a woman of excellence who authored several works (3). She was the one who directed the Khātūn to endow the school at the foot of Mount Qāsiyūn for the Hanbalis. Amat al-Latif also endowed (4) another school (5) for the Hanbalis, which still stands east of the Nāṣirī ribāṭ.

When the Khātūn died, the scholar’s property was confiscated and she was imprisoned for a time; she was later released, and al-Ashraf, the ruler of Ḥimṣ, married her. She travelled with him to al-Raḥbah and Tall Bashir (6), and then died in 653 AH. In Damascus many treasures and precious jewels (7) were found among her effects—worth nearly six hundred thousand dirhams, not counting her real estate and endowments. May Allah have mercy on her.

Muʿīn al-Dīn al-Ḥasan ibn Shaykh al-Shuyūkh (8), vizier of al-Ṣāliḥ Najm al-Dīn Ayyūb, was dispatched (9) to Damascus, where he and the Khwarazmians laid siege to the city for the first time and seized it from al-Ṣāliḥ Ismāʿīl. He then served there as governor on behalf of al-Ṣāliḥ Ayyūb. Later the Khwarazmians joined forces with al-Ṣāliḥ Ismāʿīl against him (10) and besieged him in Damascus. He died in the last ten days (11) of Ramaḍān that same year, at the age of fifty-six, having governed Damascus for four and a half months. The funeral prayer was held in the Umayyad Mosque, and he was buried on Mount Qāsiyūn beside his brother ʿImād al-Dīn.

In that same year the founder of the Qalījiyyah endowment for the Hanafis also passed away. He was the emir Sayf al-Dīn ibn Qilij (12), and he was buried in the tomb within his aforementioned madrasah, which had been his residence in Dār Fulūs. May Allah accept it from him.
