Shaykh Fakhr al-Dīn Abū Muḥammad: ʿAbd Allah (1) ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm ibn al-Saqqāṭī, a Shāfiʿī, oversaw the attestations of the Treasury and served as deputy judge at Bāb al-Naṣr (2). He was buried in the Qarāfa cemetery.

The distinguished imam, the embodiment of every virtue: Shihāb al-Dīn Abū al-ʿAbbās Aḥmad (3) ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Bakrī—whose lineage goes back to Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq (may Allah be pleased with him)—possessed a subtle mind and was an indefatigable copyist, able to write three quires in a single day. He transcribed Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī eight times, collated and bound each copy, and sold it for about one thousand. He also compiled a Tārīkh (History) in thirty volumes, which he copied and sold for more than one thousand; and it is reported that he authored a work entitled Muntahā al-Arab fī ʿIlm al-Adab (The Utmost Aspiration in the Science of Literature) (4), likewise in thirty volumes. In short, he was a rarity in his age. He passed away on Friday, the twentieth of Ramaḍān (may Allah have mercy on him).

The righteous, devout, and ascetic shaykh, the frequent pilgrim: ʿAlī (5) ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad al-Wāsiṭī—renowned for his goodness, piety, abundant worship, Qur’an recitation, and repeated pilgrimages. It is said that he performed more than forty pilgrimages. He inspired awe and possessed notable virtue. He died while in a state of iḥrām on Tuesday, the twenty-eighth of Dhū al-Qaʿda, having nearly reached eighty years of age (may Allah have mercy on him).

The emir ʿIzz al-Dīn Ibrāhīm (6) ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad (7) ibn al-Qawwās supervised the shadd in certain sultanic districts. He owned a fine residence in al-ʿUqayba al-Ṣaghīra, and when death approached him (8) he stipulated that it be turned into a madrasa (9), endowed it with waqf properties, and appointed Shaykh ʿImād al-Dīn al-Kurdī, a Shāfiʿī (10), to teach there. He died on Wednesday, the twentieth of Dhū al-Ḥijja.
