In Muḥarram of that same year Shaykh Amīn al-Dīn Sālim ibn Abī al-Dar (1), trustee of the public treasury and imam of the Ibn Hishām Mosque (2), assumed the professorship of the Shāmiyyah al-Jawwāniyyah Madrasa, while Shaykh Ṣadr al-Dīn Sulaymān ibn Mūsā al-Kurdī took up the teaching post at the ʿAdhrāwiyyah. Both schools had been wrested from Ibn al-Wakīl because he was residing in Egypt. Earlier he had visited al-Muẓaffar, who honored him and assigned him stipends (3) [on account of his affiliation with Naṣr al-Manbajī] (4). He then returned with a royal decree restoring his two madrasas, remained in them for a month—or twenty-seven days—after which they were taken back and returned to their former lecturers, Amīn al-Dīn Sālim and Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Kurdī (5).

The preacher Jalāl al-Dīn (6) resumed the Friday pulpit on the twelfth (7) of Muḥarram, and Badr ibn al-Ḥaddād was dismissed from the office.

On Monday al-Ṣāḥib Shams al-Dīn (8) assumed oversight of the congregational mosque, the affairs of prisoners, and all the endowments. He was then invested with a robe of honor, and Sharaf al-Dīn ibn Ṣaṣrā was associated with him in supervising the mosque, a post Ibn Ṣaṣrā had previously held alone.

On the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ Asandamur arrived in Damascus to take up the vice-regency of Ḥamāh (9); he set out for his province seven days later.

Still in Muḥarram Badr al-Dīn ibn al-Ḥaddād assumed oversight of the bīmāristān in place of Shams al-Dīn ibn al-Khiṭayrī. A dispute then broke out between Ṣadr al-Dīn ibn al-Wakīl (10) and Ṣadr Sulaymān al-Kurdī over the ʿAdhrāwiyyah. [They drew up against Ibn al-Wakīl (11) a legal record that contained disgraceful acts, scandals, and expressions of unbelief] (12). Ibn al-Wakīl therefore hastened to Judge Taqī al-Dīn ibn Sulaymān, the Ḥanbalī, who affirmed his Islam, spared his life, ruled that no taʿzīr (discretionary punishment) be inflicted upon him, and pronounced him upright and deserving of office, [having this attested in the said month of Muḥarram] (13); nevertheless, the positions soon slipped from his grasp.
