114

Malik-ul-Muazzam was a learned monarch, and endowed with great accomplishments, and Almighty God had dignified him with great attainments.
Among the sons of Malik-ul-’Adil, who observed the ordinances of the followers of the traditions of the sect of Shafi’i, Malik-ul-Muazzam was the only one who was of the sect of the great Imam, Abu Hanifah-i-Nu’man, son of Sabit, Al-Kufi.
During the troubles in the territories of ’Ajam, when the ’Ulama of Khurasan, and Mawar-un-Nahr, became dispersed at the period of the inroad of the infidels of Chin, Imam Sharaf-ud-Din, Adimi, who was a prodigy in the science of theology and religious jurisprudence, and Imam Jamal-ud-Din, Hasiri, who was a master in the science of physiognomy, came and presented themselves at his Court. Malik-ul-Muazzam became the disciple of these two great Imams, and other eminent ’Ulama, — the mercy of the Almighty be upon the whole of them! — and assigned them emoluments and rewards, and fixed places for their abode. He, however, sought mostly to secure the presence of Muhammad Husain, Shibani.
The brother of Malik-ul-Muazzam, Malik-ul-’Adil, was by the same mother as himself, and for a long time was his brother’s associate and lieutenant in the territory of Damashk [?].
Malik-ul-Muazzam reigned for a considerable period, and died.
