The erudite Imām and distinguished scholar Fakhr al-Dīn: ʿUthmān (1) ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Muṣṭafā ibn Sulaymān al-Mārdīnī, the Turkmān Ḥanafī. Fakhr al-Dīn composed a commentary on al-Jāmiʿ al-Kabīr (2) and presented it as lectures that filled 100 folios. He died in Rajab at the age of 71. He was courageous, learned, and upright—dignified, eloquent, pleasant in conversation, and an accomplished poet. After his passing, the Manṣūriyyah appointment went to his son Tāj al-Dīn (3).

Taqī al-Dīn ʿUmar (4), son of the vizier Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān ibn al-Salaʿūs, was still young when his father (5) died under torture. He was reared in palace service until, late in life, the sultan summoned him and appointed him supervisor of the dīwāns in Egypt—a post he held for only one day. He appeared before the sultan on a Thursday; on leaving, his condition worsened so severely that he reached his home only in a litter. He died the next morning, Saturday the 26th of Dhū al-Qaʿdah. The funeral prayer was held for him in the Mosque of ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ, and he was buried beside his father in al-Qarāfah. His funeral was thronged with mourners.

Jamāl al-Dīn Abū al-ʿAbbās: Aḥmad (6) ibn Sharaf al-Dīn ibn Jamāl al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Fatḥ Naṣr Allāh ibn Asad ibn Ḥamzah ibn Asad ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Tamīmī al-Dimashqī, known as Ibn al-Qalānsī, served as judge of the armies (qāḍī al-ʿasākir), agent of the public treasury, and lecturer at the Amīniyyah (7) and other madrasahs. He memorised al-Tanbīh and then al-Muḥarrar by al-Rāfiʿī and could recite them at will. A student of Shaykh Tāj al-Dīn al-Fazārī, he advanced in both learning and leadership, held high offices, taught in numerous institutions, and in his day was unrivalled in prestige, lineage, and the holding of religious and worldly posts. He was humble, well-mannered, affable, generous, and benevolent toward scholars, the poor, and the righteous. Licensed to issue formal legal opinions, the deed confirming this was drafted on the spot while I was present. He conveyed benefits to others, expressed himself excellently, and grew great in my estimation.

He died on Monday, the 28th of Dhū al-Qaʿdah, and was buried in the family plot at al-Safḥ. He had received hadith from a number of shaykhs, and Fakhr al-Dīn al-Baʿlabakkī compiled for him a mashīkhah that we heard from him—may Allah have mercy upon him.
