Ibn al-Waḥīd the Secretary (1): He was al-Ṣadr Sharaf al-Dīn Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Sharīf ibn Yūsuf al-Zuraʿī, better known as Ibn al-Waḥīd. He served as a signatory in Cairo and was skilled in chancery composition, attaining unsurpassed excellence in penmanship in his day, from which people greatly benefited. Virtuous, enterprising, and courageous, he died in the Mansūrī maristan in Egypt on Tuesday (2), the sixteenth of Shaʿbān (3).

The emir Nāṣir al-Dīn (4): Muḥammad ibn ʿImād al-Dīn Ḥasan ibn al-Nisābī (5) was one of the amirs of the tablakhānas (military drum corps). He was commander of the bunduq (fire-arm regiment), an office he assumed after Sayf al-Dīn Balabān. He died in the last ten (6) days of Ramadan.

Al-Tamīmī al-Dārī (7): He passed away on the day of ʿĪd al-Fiṭr and was buried in the Lesser Qarāfa cemetery. He had once held the vizierate in Egypt, was experienced and capable, but died after being removed from office. He had heard hadith, and some students transmitted from him.

In Dhū al-Qaʿda news reached Damascus of the death of the great emir Asandamir (8), and of Batkhāṣ (9), who was imprisoned in the citadel of Karak.

The judge, imam, eminent scholar, and ḥadith master Saʿd al-Dīn Masʿūd al-Hārithī (10), the Ḥanbalī who served as judge in Egypt, heard hadith, collected, extracted, and authored works. He possessed outstanding expertise in this discipline—its chains of transmission and its texts. He composed a commentary on a portion of Sunan Abū Dāwūd, excelling in it and benefitting others, and his critical observations were praiseworthy (11). May Allah, Exalted, have mercy on him. Allah knows best (12).
