Shaykh Abū Muḥammad Ibn Abī Jamrah (1)

The imam, scholar, and ascetic—originally from the Maghrib and a follower of the Mālikī school—died in Egypt during the month of Dhū al-Qaʿdah. He was ever forthright in speaking the truth, commanding what is right, and forbidding what is wrong (may Allah have mercy on him).

Muḥyī al-Dīn Ibn al-Naḥḥās (2)

He is Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad, son of Badr al-Dīn Yaʿqūb ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṭāriq ibn Sālim ibn al-Naḥḥās al-Asadī, an Aleppine adherent of the Ḥanafī school. Born in 614 AH in Aleppo, he pursued learning, excelled, and heard hadith. He spent a period in Damascus, teaching in its principal colleges, among them al-Ẓāhiriyyah and al-Rayḥāniyyah (3). He served as judge in Aleppo and as vizier in Damascus, supervised the treasury, and oversaw the bureaus and endowments (4). Ever honored and esteemed, he was known for virtue and fairness in debate, loved hadith and its people along the lines of the early generations, and was devoted to Shaykh ʿAbd al-Qādir and his followers. He died (5) in his orchard at al-Mizzah on Monday evening, the last day of Dhū al-Ḥijjah, having passed the age of eighty. He was buried the next day—Tuesday, the first of 696 AH—in a cemetery he owned at al-Mizzah; the deputy of the sultanate and the judges attended his funeral.

Chief Justice (6) Taqī al-Dīn Abū al-Qāsim ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, son of the Chief Justice Taj al-Dīn Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, son of Qāḍī al-Aʿazz Abū al-Qāsim Khalaf ibn Badr al-ʿAlāʾī al-Shāfiʿī, died in Jumādā al-Ūlā and was buried in the family plot in al-Qarāfah.
