He possessed a vast store of auditioned ḥadīth, some of which we ourselves heard from him, and he had an excellent command of history. His son, the amir Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn, succeeded him in the command of the tabl-khāna (the royal band), while his brother was admitted to his intimate circle; both were invested with the sultan’s robes of honor on that occasion.

Shaykh Imām Najm al-Dīn:
Aḥmad (1) ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Ḥazm al-Qurashī al-Makhzūmī [al-Qammūlī] (2) was among the distinguished Shāfiʿīs. He composed a commentary on al-Wasīṭ (3) and another on al-Ḥājibiyya in two volumes, taught and served as judge in Egypt, and also held the office of muḥtasib there. His conduct in that post was widely praised. After him, the judiciary passed to Najm al-Dīn ibn ʿAqīl, while the post of muḥtasib went to Nāṣir al-Dīn ibn Fār al-Saquf (4).
He died in the month of Rajab, having surpassed the age of eighty, and was buried in al-Qarāfa—may Allah have mercy on him.

The righteous shaykh Abū al-Qāsim:
ʿAbd al-Raḥmān (5) ibn Mūsā ibn Khalaf al-Ḥizāmī was one of the well-known saints of Egypt. He passed away in al-Rawḍa on the fifteenth of Rajab (6). His body was carried to the bank of the Nile, the funeral prayer was performed over him, and he was borne above the crowd on heads and fingertips, then buried next to Ibn Abī Ḥamza. He was nearly eighty years old, and people used to travel to visit him—may Allah have mercy on him.

Qāḍī ʿIzz al-Dīn:
ʿAbd al-ʿAzīr (7) ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿUthmān ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿUthmān (8) ibn ʿĪsā ibn ʿUmar ibn al-Khiḍr al-Hakkārī al-Shāfiʿī, judge of al-Maḥalla, was one of the finest qāḍīs. He authored a treatise on the ḥadīth concerning one who has marital relations in Ramaḍān, and it is said that he derived one thousand legal rulings from it. He died in Ramaḍān. Among the valuable books he acquired was the Tahdhīb of our shaykh al-Mizzī.

Shaykh Kamāl al-Dīn Ibn al-Zamlakānī (9): Our own shaykh, the erudite imām, Kamāl al-Dīn Abū al-Maʿālī, son of Shaykh ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Khaṭīb Zamlakā ʿAbd al-Karīm ibn Khalaf ibn Nabhan al-Anṣārī al-Shāfiʿī, known as Ibn al-Zamlakānī (10). He was the chief of the Shāfiʿīs in Syria and elsewhere; leadership of the school—in teaching, issuing fatwas, and debate—ultimately rested with him.
