A great multitude attended his funeral, and he was counted among the finest of royal scions for piety, virtue, and kindness to the weak. May Allah have mercy on him.

Judge Shihāb al-Dīn (2) Yūsuf ibn al-Ṣāḥib Muḥyī al-Dīn (3) ibn al-Naḥḥās was one of the foremost authorities of the Ḥanafī school and taught at both the Rayḥāniyyah and the Ẓāhiriyyah madrasahs. At one time he also supervised the treasury and the Umayyad Mosque, and he was a highly respected and capable dignitary. He died in his orchard at al-Mazzeh on the thirteenth of Dhu al-Ḥijjah, after which Judge Jalāl al-Dīn ibn Ḥusām al-Dīn took over the lectureship at the Rayḥāniyyah.

The grand chancellor, al-Raʾīs al-Ṣāḥib (5) Amīn (6) al-Dīn Abū al-Ghanāʾim Sālim ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Hibat Allah ibn Maḥfūẓ ibn Ṣaṣrā al-Taghlibī, was in better circumstances than his brother (7) Judge Najm al-Dīn. He had studied and transmitted hadith, enjoyed great esteem, and was entrusted with the oversight of the dīwāns and the treasury. Later he resigned his posts, performed the pilgrimage, and remained in Mecca for a time. Subsequently he returned to Damascus, where he stayed for less than a year before passing away. He died on Friday, the twenty-eighth of Dhu al-Ḥijjah. The funeral prayer was offered for him after the Friday service in the congregational mosque, and he was buried in his family plot at the foot of Mount Qāsiyūn.
