Badrān ibn Raḥmah al-Ikhnāʾī al-Saʿdī, an Egyptian Shafiʿi who served as judge over Damascus and its districts, was chaste, upright, and incisively intelligent, a master of eloquent expression. He cherished every virtue and venerated those who embodied them, and he frequently arranged public hadith auditions in the Great ʿĀdiliyya Madrasa. He died on Friday, the thirteenth of Dhu al-Qaʿdah and was buried at the foot of Mount Qāsiyūn, beside his wife and opposite the tomb of al-ʿĀdil Katbughā (1) on the mountainside.

Qutb al-Dīn Mūsā (2) ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥusayn—son of the shaykh of Salamiyya and overseer of the Syrian armies—possessed great wealth and property. He was renowned for his many merits, for his generosity and beneficence toward the righteous, and he was the one to whom people turned in pressing matters. He passed away on Tuesday, the second of Dhu al-Ḥijjah, having lived beyond seventy years, and was interred in his own mausoleum (3) opposite the Nāṣiriyya on Mount Qāsiyūn. He was the father of the shaykh, imam, and eminent scholar ʿIzz al-Dīn Ḥamzah (4), instructor of the Hanbali school (5).

[Then the year 733 AH began.] It commenced on Wednesday. [The officials were the same as those listed in the preceding year] (6). There was no Shafiʿi judge; the Hanafi judge was ʿImād al-Dīn al-Ṭarasūsī, the Maliki judge was Sharaf al-Dīn al-Hamadhānī, and the Hanbali judge was ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn ibn al-Munajja (7). The confidential secretary (kātib al-sirr) was Muḥyī al-Dīn ibn Faḍl Allah (8), and the superintendent of the Great Mosque was ʿImād al-Dīn ibn al-Shīrāzī (9).
