He was the minister of Al-Adid li-Din Allah, the ruler of Egypt, in the year 558 AH. He was serving Al-Saleh bin Razik, so he accepted and appointed him as governor of Upper Egypt. It was the largest job after the ministry, and according to Al-Dhahabi’s biographies of noble figures, he showed great competence, progress, and win over the subjects and the advances from the Arabs and others. His affairs became difficult for Al-Saleh, and he could not remove him. He continued to use him so that he would not rebel against him, and upon his death, he instructed his son Al-Adil not to depose him because of his strength, but his family treated Al-Adil with his dismissal, and some of them used his place and feared him, so he sent for him to depose him, so he gathered large crowds and came from Upper Egypt and fought Al-Adil and killed him, and he became a minister and became a minister and was called the prince of the armies.
Shams al-Din al-Dhahabi says about him in Siyar A’lam al-Nubala’: Shawar went to extremes in arbitrariness and confiscation, and they hoped that Shirkuh would succeed them, so he marched to them again from the Levant. Shawar called out to the King of the Franks, Mary, and he hastened to gather a great crowd. Shirkuh crossed to the Upper Egypt region, then descended on the land of Giza, and the Franks camped against him in Fustat. Shawar decided to pay the Franks four hundred thousand dinars and residencies, then Shirkuh moved towards Upper Egypt, so Shawar and the Franks followed him, and plundered many things for the Franks, and they returned in chains, so they camped in Giza, and Shirkuh responded and came to Alexandria, and the Franks followed him, so the people of the border opened for Shirkuh, and they rejoiced in him, so Ibn His brother, Saladin, fled to Fayoum, and his soldiers plundered the villages and oppressed them, and he went and confiscated the people of Upper Egypt, and he advanced, and Shawar and the Romans besieged Alexandria, where Saladin was located, and the fighting intensified, then Shirkuh came to Egypt, and the messengers hesitated about making peace, and the Romans returned to their country, and then he arrived. The tyrant marched with his armies, and betrayed, and made a trench against Egypt, and made great speeches, and the Romans invaded Balbeis by killing and captivating them, and the Egyptians fled in difficulty and humiliation, and the houses of Egypt were burned, and the curtains were torn, and destruction spread, and the affliction lasted for months, and the tyrant besieged them, so they asked for a truce, so the dog stipulated unbearable conditions. The opinion of Al-Adid and the people of the palace was unanimous in calling for Nur al-Din. Shirkuh thought about his army, and the enemy retreated to the coast with twelve thousand prisoners in their hands. Shirkuh came and Shawar had no choice but to go out to him calling and apologizing, so he forgave him and accepted his excuse. Khula emerged for Shirkuh and Shawar, and in their souls what was in them was achieved. This is from this until it occurred to Shawar to make a call for Shirkuh, and rode to him. Shirkuh sensed the plot, so he mobilized his soldiers, took Shawar prisoner, and his army was defeated, then he was killed, and his sons and aides were captured and tortured, then their heads were beheaded, and Shirkuh prevailed for fifty-eight days, then he died in the ditches. .
Ibn Al-Alqami:
The minister of the Abbasid caliph, Al-Mustasim, arranged with Hulagu to kill the caliph and occupy Baghdad, hoping that Hulagu would hand over the emirate of the city to him. However, Hulagu insulted him and killed him after the destruction of Baghdad. Al-Zirikli says about his killing: “There are stories that Mu’ayyid al-Din – meaning Ibn Al-Alqami – was humiliated by the Tatars.” After their entry, he died in grief and in poverty and humiliation.”
Al-Dhahabi reported on the fall of Baghdad: “The sword remained in Baghdad for thirty-few days, and the least that was said was that it killed eight hundred thousand souls, and the most that was said was that they reached one thousand eight hundred thousand, and torrents of blood flowed.”
