Shāmah (1), born in 653 AH. His father took him to the shaykhs to listen to their lessons; he memorised the Quran, applied himself to jurisprudence, worked as a copyist, recited frequently, and attended the various madrasahs as well as the Grand Sabʿ circle (2). He died on the twenty-seventh of Shawwāl and was buried beside his father in the Bāb al-Farādis cemetery (3).

The righteous, devout shaykh: Jalāl al-Din Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm ibn Zayn al-Din Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Maḥmūd ibn Muḥammad al-ʿUqaylī, known as Ibn al-Qalānisī (4), was born in 654 AH. He received from Ibn ʿAbd al-Dāʾim the tract of Ibn ʿArafah, which he narrated more than once, and he studied under other teachers as well. He first practised the arts of calligraphy and composition, but later abandoned all of that and devoted himself to worship and asceticism. The emirs in Egypt built a zawiyah for him and made a point of visiting him. He was cheerful of countenance and eloquent in speech, though hard of hearing. He later moved to Jerusalem and once came to Damascus, where the people gathered around him, honoured him, and heard hadith from him; he then returned to Jerusalem. He died there on the night of Sunday, the third of Dhu al-Qaʿdah, and was buried in the Māmlī cemetery—may Allah have mercy on him. He was the brother (5) of the market-inspector ʿIzz al-Din ibn al-Qalānisī and the maternal uncle of the official Taqī al-Din ibn Marājil (6).

The shaykh and imam, Qutb al-Din Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Sunbāṭī al-Miṣrī (7), produced an abridgement of al-Rawḍah (8), authored the book Taṣḥīḥ al-Taʿjīz, lectured at the Fāḍilīyah, and served as deputy judge in Egypt; he was among the leading jurists of his time. He died on Friday, the fourteenth of Dhu al-Ḥijjah, at the age of seventy. After his passing, the Fāḍilīyah chair was taken up by Ḍiyāʾ al-Din al-Munāwī (9), the deputy judge in Cairo; Ibn Jamāʿah and the other notables attended his sessions. Allah knows best.
