Among the casualties were several of the most celebrated emirs (1). After him the judgeship passed to Shams al-Dīn al-Harīrī, as we have already mentioned (2).

The judge and imām (3), the erudite scholar (4), Imām al-Dīn Abū al-Maʿālī ʿUmar, son of the judge Saʿd al-Dīn Abū al-Qāsim ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, grandson of Shaykh Imām al-Dīn Abū Ḥafṣ ʿUmar ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Qazwīnī, a Shāfiʿī.

He and his brother Jalāl al-Dīn arrived in Damascus and were appointed to teach in a number of madrasahs. In 677 AH he displaced Badr al-Dīn Ibn Jamāʿa from the post of Chief Judge of Damascus, as has already been recorded (5), with his brother serving as deputy. He was of pleasing character, abundantly charitable—a leading notable— and scarcely ever caused offence.

When the approach of the Tatars became imminent, he travelled to Egypt (6). On reaching it he stayed no more than a week before passing away; he was buried near the Dome of ash-Shāfiʿī at the age of forty-six. The office then reverted to Badr al-Dīn Ibn Jamāʿa in addition to the pulpit duties (and other posts) already in his hands, and his brother subsequently lectured at the Amīniyya, as noted earlier.

The senior ḥadīth transmitter, long-lived itinerant scholar (7) Sharaf al-Dīn Aḥmad ibn Hibat Allāh (ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad) (8) ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Hibat Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAsākir al-Dimashqī.

He was born in 614 AH, auditioned ḥadīth and transmitted them, and died on the fifteenth (9) of Jumādā al-Ūlā of the current year at the age of eighty-five.

The preacher, imām, scholar, and leading notable (10) Muwaffaq al-Dīn Abū al-Maʿālī Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Mufaḍḍal al-Bahrānī (11).
