The wicked man had fled with a group of his companions. When Emir Seyfeddin Kara Sungur al-Mansurī set out from Egypt to assume the governorship of Damascus in place of Efrem, he established a hunting trap near Gaza on the seventh of the month of Dhu al-Qi'dah. When Caşnigir and about 300 of his companions fell into this encirclement, they were surrounded. His men scattered and left him alone. Emir Seyfeddin Kara Sungur then captured him and, together with his companion Seyfeddin Bahadır, mounted camels and set out on the return journey to Egypt. However, when they reached Hattara, Emir İstedmūr met them. Caşnigir was taken from them and brought to Egypt. Seyfeddin Kara Sungur and Seyfeddin Bahadır returned to their troops. Emir İstedmūr presented Caşnigir before the sultan. The sultan reproached and scolded him. This was his last honorable meeting with the sultan. Afterwards, he was killed and buried in the Kurafe Cemetery. His shaykh from Manbij neither benefited him nor did his wealth and possessions save him. On the contrary, he was killed in a terrible manner.
Emir Seyfeddin Kara Sungur al-Mansurī entered Damascus on Monday, the twenty-fifth of Dhu al-Qi'dah. He settled in the palace. Accompanying him were Ibn Sāserī, Ibn Zemlekānī, Ibn Kalānīsī, ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn b. Ghanim, and a group of Egyptian and Damascene ʿumaraʾ (commanders). The preacher Jalāl al-Dīn al-Qazvīnī had arrived earlier on Thursday, the twenty-second of the same month, and on Friday, as was customary, delivered the khutbah (sermon). The second Friday was the twenty-ninth of the month. At that time, in the Damascus Mosque, Qāḍī Badr al-Dīn Muḥammad b. ʿUthmān b. Yūsuf b. Ḥaddād al-Ḥanbalī delivered the khutbah with the permission of the deputy of the sultanate. The appointment decree was read after the prayer in the presence of the qāḍīs, the elders, and the notables. Afterwards, he was dressed in a valuable khilʿah (robe of honor). He served as imam and preacher for forty-two days. Then the preacher Jalāl al-Dīn was reinstated in this position by the sultan's decree and began his duty on Thursday, the twelfth of the following year. In the month of Dhu al-Ḥijjah, Kamāl al-Dīn b. Shirāzī taught at the Shāmiyyat al-Barrāniyya Madrasa. With the help of İstedmūr, he took over this position from Shaykh Kamāl al-Dīn b. Zemlekānī.
In this year, the Tatar khan Harbenda openly supported Rafīḍīsm in his own country. He ordered the preachers to mention first the names of Ḥadrat ʿAlī and the Ahl al-Bayt in their khutbahs. When the preacher of the town of Az-Zak came to this part of the khutbah, he began to sob uncontrollably. The congregation wept with him. He descended from the minbar (pulpit) before completing the khutbah. Another person was brought to the minbar to complete the khutbah. That person also led the prayer. In that country, innovators (bidʿah performers) dominated the Ahl al-Sunnah. "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return" (al-Baqara 2:156).
In this year, due to the great disorder and conflicts in the state, no one from Damascus was able to perform the pilgrimage (ḥajj).
