of Damascus; then he was deposed in favour of Ibn Khallikān, as noted earlier (1). He died on Tuesday, the eighth of Muḥarram (2), and was buried the next day—Tāsūʿā, the ninth of Muḥarram—in the tomb of his grandfather at the foot of Mount Qāsiyūn (3).

[And on the tenth of Muḥarram there passed away]

Chief Judge Ṣadr al-Dīn ʿUmar (4) ibn Chief Judge Tāj al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn Khalaf ibn Abū ’l-Qāsim al-ʿAlamī (5), a grandson of Bint al-ʿAzīz of Egypt. He was an outstanding scholar, thoroughly versed in the school of law and meticulous in his rulings like his father. He was buried in the Qarāfa cemetery (6).

Shaykh Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿīd al-Shāghūrī (7), the ecstatic known as al-Jayʿāna.

He was well-known in Damascus (8). The common people—and others of little discernment—circulated stories of his extraordinary states and unveilings. Yet he neither observed the prescribed prayers nor fasted with the Muslims, and even so many of the masses and others believed in him. He died (9) on Sunday, the seventh of Jumādā al-Ūlā (10) and was buried in the cemetery of the eccentrics at the foot of Mount Qāsiyūn (11), beside Shaykh Yūsuf al-Qamīnī (12). Shaykh Yūsuf had died some time before. He used to live at Aqmīn, the bath of Nūr al-Dīn the Martyr, in the Bazzūrīyīn quarter (13). He would sit amid filth and refuse, wearing coarse Bedouin garments that dragged through the impurities of the alleyways. Nevertheless, he enjoyed acceptance, love, and obedience from the people, and the commoners exaggerated in their affection and belief in him. He neither prayed nor avoided impurity; anyone who visited him would sit at the bath’s doorway upon the filth, and the masses would recount for him (14)
