[No. 2, 
one of the mam-luks of the Malik-ul-’ Adil, Niir-ud-Din, Arsal&n Shah, 
ruler of Mausil, Sham, and the Diyar-i-Bakr. On the death of Arsalan 
Shah, the tenth of the dynasty, in Rajab, 607 H. (1211 A. D.), his son, 
Tzz-ud-Din, Mas’ud, entitled the Malik-ul-Kahir, succeeded. He left the 
power in the hands of Badr-ud-Din, Lu-lu. When ’Izz-ud-Din, Mas’ud 
died on the 27th Rabi’-ul-Awwal, 615 H. (1218 A. D.), his brother, 
’Imad-ud-Din, Zangi, who was governor of ’Amadiah, ruled over that 
part for a time, but shortly after died. His infant son for a short time 
succeeded, but he also soon died, and the dynasty terminated. Malik 
Badr-nd-Din, Abu-l-Faza’il, Lu-lu, who used to direct the affairs of 
his territory, continued to rule over Mausil. On the appearance of 
Hulaku Khan, the Mughal, in those parts, Lu-lu tendered submission 
to him at Maraghah, in Rajab, 650 H. (1258 A. D.), and was con¬ 
firmed in possession of the territory.* Badr-ud-Din, Lu-lu, died in 
657 H. aged 96, but some say he was over a hundred. His son, ’Isma’il, 
entitled the Malik-us-Salih, was permitted to succeed him, and Hulakti. 
Khan gave him in marriage the daughter of the gallant, but unfortunate 
Sultan, Jalal-ud-Din, Mang-barni, the Kliwarazm Shah, then with other 
Muhammadan princes and princesses, captives in the hands of those 
infidels. The Malik-us-Salih unable longer to bear this iron yoke, 
subsequently joined his co-religionists of Misr against the infidels, but 
he was taken captive, after holding Mausil against them for several 
months, in Ramazan, 661 H. (1263 A. D.), and put to death in the most 
brutal manner by Hulaku’s orders. The ferocious barbarian—“ the 
great Hulagu”—directed that he should be enveloped in fat tails of the 
dumbah or fat-tailed sheep, sewn up in felt, placed on his back with his 
hands and feet fastened to the ground by four pegs, and then exposed to 
the burning heat of the summer sun, until, after a week, as was intended, 
the tails became putrid, and swarming with maggots, which began to attack 
the wretched victim, who, for’a whole month, lingered in this Mughal 
torment. It was to such devilish doings as these that Kuduz, the Mam- 
luk ruler of Misr,f referred when, after he had overthrown the Nu-yin, 
Kaibuka, the Nae man, and taken him prisoner, near the ’Ayn-i-Jalut— 
Goliatt’s Spring—in Syria, he taunted him, saying that “ they could do 
nothing like men.” The Malik-us-Salih, ’Isma’il, left a son, a babe of 
two or three years old, named ’Ala-ud-Din, who was taken back to Mausil, 
and cut in twain, one-half of the child’s corpse being suspended on one side 
of the Dijlah, and the other on the Mausil side, and left there to rot as a 
warning of Mu gh al vengeance. What became of Sultan Jalal-ud-Din’s 
daughter, the Malik-us-Salih’s wife, has not transpired.

Mughals.
