End of 06/0861:
Amir Sayf al-Dīn Nūkār b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Nāṣirī, an amir 10 and zardkāsh, passed away in the end of 06/0861, while on tajrīda to the domains of Ibn Qaramān, in the city of Ghazza.
He was originally a mamluk of al-Nāṣir Faraj. After the latter’s (death), he was unfortunate, and had to serve (khadama) at the amirs’ gates, suffering all sorts of hardship, until he finally returned to the sultan’s gate, after the death of al-Malik al-Muʾayyad Shaykh. He became a khāṣṣakī and remained thus for many years, until al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Jaqmaq favored him with an amirate 10, after he had made many requests for it. He then became a ḥājib thānī, in which position he remained without attention beign paid to him throughout the various reigns, until al-Malik al-ʾAshraf ʾĪnāl appointed him as zardkāsh, following the death of Jānibak al-Wālī. He held that office until he died.
He was without distinction, living among the great by witticisms and jokes, apt neither for fighting nor for striking, nor for anything else, except for what we have mentioned. God have mercy upon him!
