their eligibility at that hearing. Thus the ʿAdhrāʾawiyya and the Shāmiyya madrasas passed to Ibn al-Marḥal, as we have already noted (1). Al-Qazwīnī was compensated (2) with the Masrūriyya, which he then exchanged with Ibn al-Sharīshī for the Nāṣirī ribāṭ. On this very day he lectured there, with Judge Jalāl al-Dīn in attendance. After him Ibn al-Sharīshī taught at the Masrūriyya (3), and the people came to hear him as well.

Around the same time the Yemeni expeditionary detachment returned, but many of their pages and others were missing; their senior commander, Rukn al-Dīn Baybars, was imprisoned because of his ill conduct toward them (4).

Among the notable deaths this year were the following:

• Shaykh Ibrāhīm al-Ṣabbāḥ (5)—Ibrāhīm ibn Munīr al-Baʿlabakkī—renowned for his piety and resident in the eastern minaret. He died on the night of Wednesday, the first of Muḥarram, and was buried at Bāb al-Ṣaghīr. His funeral was thronged, the people carrying him aloft on the very tips of their fingers. [He was a regular attendee at the gatherings of Shaykh Taqī al-Dīn Ibn Taymiyya] (6).

• Ibrāhīm al-Muwallah (7), known as al-Qumaynī because he lived among the charcoal-burners outside the Eastern Gate. He would at times reveal hidden things to the common folk, yet he did not maintain the prayer. Shaykh Taqī al-Dīn Ibn Taymiyya had required him to repent and had beaten him for abandoning the prescribed prayers, consorting with filth, and assembling men and women together in impure places. He died, a middle-aged man, during this month.

• Shaykh Shihāb al-Dīn (8) [Aḥmad ibn al-ʿAfīf] (9) Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿUthmān ibn ʿUmar al-Ṣiqillī, later of Damascus, the imam of the Masjid al-Raʾs (10), and the last person to narrate from Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ (11) portions of the Sunan of al-Bayhaqī. We heard some of those hadiths from him. He died in Ṣafar.
