وتوفي قاضي القضاة جلال الدين أبو الفضل عبد الرحمن ابن شيخ الإسلام سراج الدين أبي حفص
عمر البلقيني الشافعي، في ليلة الخميس حادي عشره، عن ثلاث وستين سنة. وصلى عليه بالجامع
الحاكمي. ودفن على قبر أبيه وأخيه، بمدرستهم من حارة بهاء الدين، فكان جمعاً موفوراً، ومشهداً جليلاً
حافلاً مذكوراً. وانتاب الناس قبره مدة. و لم يختلف بعد مثله في كثرة علمه بالفقه وأصوله، وبالحديث
والتفسير والعربية، مع العفة والنزاهة عما يرمي به قضاة السوء، وجمال الصورة، وفصاحة العبارة
وبالجملة فلقد كان ممن يتجمل به الوقت.
