Summary
Badr al-Din al-Sinjari, qadi al-qudat; majestic and praised for generosity, he held the judgeship of Baalbek and beyond before thirty, then returned to Sinjar and spent on al-Malik al-Salih Najm al-Din. 1
Rise and fall
When al-Salih took Egypt he visited him, was given Egypt and the Upper Country, then the chief judgeship after Sharaf al-Din Ibn 'Ayn al-Dawla, and administered the vizierate with horses and mamluks no vizier could match; he rose ever higher until in the early Zahirid state he was deposed and kept to his house; he died in Rajab — it was said he took bribes and wronged, as told in al-'Ibar. 1
