, Abū al-Barakāt Munajjā (1) ibn al-Ṣadr ʿIzz al-Dīn Abū ʿUmar ʿUthmān ibn Asʿad ibn Munajjā ibn Barakāt ibn al-Muʾammal (2) al-Tanūkhī.
He was the shaykh of the Hanbalīs and their leading scholar. Born in 631 AH, he studied ḥadīth and fiqh, and excelled in many branches of learning—uṣūl (principles of jurisprudence), furūʿ (subsidiary rulings), Arabic, tafsīr, and others. The leadership of the madhhab devolved upon him. He authored works on uṣūl, produced a commentary on al-Muqniʿ, and left “Annotations on Tafsīr.”
A harmonious blend had been granted to him of graceful demeanor (3), piety, learning, social standing, keen intellect, sound creed, eloquence in debate, and abundant charity. He continued to frequent the Great Mosque to teach (4) voluntarily (5) until he died on Thursday, 4 Shaʿbān. His wife, Umm Muḥammad Sitt al-Bahāʾ bint Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Khujandī, passed away with him. The funeral prayer for both of them was held after the Friday prayer in the Umayyad Mosque of Damascus, and they were carried together to the foot of Mount Qāsiyūn, north of the Muẓaffarī Mosque (6), beneath the Rawḍah, and buried in a single grave. May Allah Most High have mercy upon them.
He was the father of the Chief Judge ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn. He had served as shaykh of the Masmariyya, and after him that post (7) passed to his two sons, Sharaf al-Dīn and ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn (8). He also held the position of shaykh of the Hanbaliyya, which was later taught by Shaykh Taqī al-Dīn Ibn Taymiyyah, as noted earlier in this chronicle.

al-Masʿūdī, proprietor of the bathhouse at al-Mizzah (9) (one of the senior amirs).
He was the eminent amir Badr al-Dīn Luʾluʾ ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Masʿūdī, one of the (10) celebrated amirs who served the sultans. He died in his orchard at al-Mizzah on Saturday, the twenty-seventh of Shaʿbān, and was buried on Sunday morning (11) in his own cemetery at al-Mizzah. The deputy of the sultanate attended his funeral, and his condolence gathering was held beneath the Eagle in the Umayyad Mosque of Damascus.
