The judge Ḍiyāʾ al-Dīn:
Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī (1) ibn Salīm ibn Rabīʿah (2) ibn Sulaymān al-Adhraʿī, the Shāfiʿī, moved between many judicial appointments in numerous madrasahs for a span of sixty years. He served as judge in Tripoli, ʿAjlūn, Ḥimṣ, Zarʿa (3) and other towns, and in Damascus he acted as deputy for al-Qūnawī for about a month. A man of learning and virtue, he composed abundant poetry, versifying al-Tanbīh in some sixteen thousand lines and producing an emended version in one thousand three hundred lines. He also authored panegyrics, mawālīyā, azjāl, and other pieces.
He died in al-Ramla on Friday, the twenty-third of Rabīʿ al-Awwal, at the age of eighty-five (may Allah have mercy on him). He left several children, among them ʿAbd al-Razzāq, himself a scholar who combined expertise in both the religious and the natural sciences.
Abū Ruways ʿUthmān ibn Muʿayyid al-Maghribī (4) once held sway over the region of Qābis. A faction then overpowered him and took it away, so he made his way to Egypt, settled there, and was granted an iqṭāʿ. He would ride out with the troops in Moroccan garb, sword at his side. Of fine appearance, he remained constant in service until his death in Jumādā al-Ūlā.
The learned imām, master scholar Ḍiyāʾ al-Dīn Abū al-ʿAbbās: Aḥmad (5) ibn Quṭb al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Sanbāṭī, a Shāfiʿī, was lecturer at the Ḥusāmiyyah school and deputy judge in Egypt. He taught in many other places as well, having studied jurisprudence under his father. He died in Jumādā al-Ākhirah, after which the Ḥusāmiyyah was entrusted to Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Buraydī (6).
[The Grand Chancellor] (7) Taj al-Dīn al-Kāramī (8), better known as Ibn al-Damāminī (9), was the foremost of the Karīmī merchants (10) in Damascus and Egypt. He died in Jumādā al-Ākhirah, and it is said that he left one hundred thousand dinars, not counting his [merchandise, furnishings, and real estate] (11).
