Summary
Mulla Bistan; the Kawakib says he is among those honoured with the judgeship of both armies, the Rumelian and the Anatolian — when a qadi of the army died, one of the Ru'usayn assembly was moved into his place by royal oath; he held the qada' of both armies — four judgeships in about eleven months — and differed there on the question of the attribute and the ta'min in jahr prayer, then died in the last ten of Ramadan and was buried at Edirne. 1
