Sharaf al-Din Abū ʿAbd Allāh: Muḥammad (1) son of the shaykh, the imām, the erudite scholar Zayn al-Din ibn al-Munajjā ibn ʿUthmān ibn Asʿad ibn al-Munajjā al-Tanūkhī, a Ḥanbalī—brother of the Chief Judge ʿAlāʾ al-Din (2). He heard ḥadith, taught (3), and issued legal opinions. He kept the company of Shaykh Taqī al-Din Ibn Taymiyya, and was known for his piety, affability, generosity, and readiness to discharge people’s rights. He died on the night of Monday, the 4th of Shawwāl; he had been born in 675 AH, and was buried in the family plot in al-Ṣāliḥiyya.

Shaykh Ḥusayn (4) the Kurd, the muwallah (5): he would mingle with filth and impurities, walked barefoot, and at times uttered ramblings that resembled knowledge of the unseen. Yet people entertained beliefs about him [as is common among the blind and the misguided] (6). He died in Shawwāl.

Karīm al-Din, former agent of the sultan ʿAbd al-Karīm (7) ibn al-ʿAlam Hibat Allāh al-Muslimānī, amassed wealth and advancement [and great influence with the sultan] (8) unrivaled by anyone else in the Turkish era. He endowed two congregational mosques in Damascus: the first is the Mosque of al-Qubaybāt [together with the large cistern opposite its gate; he bought a water canal for it for fifty thousand, from which the people derived great benefit and ease] (9). The second is the mosque in al-Qābūn. He performed many charitable acts—may Allah accept them from him and pardon him. Late in life he was arrested, his property seized, and he was exiled to al-Shawbak, then to Jerusalem, and finally to Upper Egypt, where—so it is said—he strangled himself with his turban in the city of Aswān on the twenty-third of Shawwāl. He was handsome and tall, and after his death a cache of considerable valuables was discovered (10)—may Allah forgive him.

The shaykh, the imām, the scholar ʿAlāʾ al-Din: ʿAlī (11) ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Dāwūd ibn Sulaymān ibn al-ʿAṭṭār, shaykh of the Dār
