Dushain, the Qadi of Justice, was born in the city of Arbaji. He was of the Shafi'i school of thought. When Dushain arrived from the East, he was one of the Kina. Sheikh Abdullah Al-Raki, Sheikh Abdul Rahman bin Messikh Al-Nuwayri, and Al-Faqih Baqadoush were in charge of the community's affairs, and Qadi Dushain was in charge of Arbaji and the Tashfiya in general. He was named Qadi of Justice because he annulled the marriage of Sheikh Muhammad Al-Haim. This was because, in a state of divine ecstasy, he had married more women than the legal limit of four and had married two sisters. He married the daughters of Abu Madoudah, who lived in luxury, and he married the daughters of Sheikh Al-Qafa Al-Dharir, Kulthum and Khadim Allah. Qadi Dushain objected to him when Al-Haim arrived, saying, "You have married two sisters." He asked him, "What more do you want?" He replied, "I want to annul your marriage." The river Al-Dandar is called Al-Dakhila. Sheikh Idris was present, and Dushain said, "Leave him to his own affairs and let him be." He said, "What is between him and his Lord will become clear." Dushain said, "His affairs will not be neglected, and I have annulled his marriage." Sheikh Al-Haim said, "May God make your skin fall off." He became severely ill, and his skin became diseased. He did not return to his ways. This increased Sheikh Al-Haim's certainty. For this reason, he was named Qadi of Justice. Sheikh Farah bin Takkuk said about him: "And between Dushain, the Qadi of Justice, and what leads to misguidance, we ask for the purity of lineage, except for the message." He passed away, may God have mercy on him, in Al-Dakhila, and his grave is in the outskirts of Bizar. Dawoud bin Muhammad bin Dawoud bin Hasdan was born in Kuthra and memorized the Quran in Al-Halfaya under Qimma Daf' Allah and Wadriya. Then he engaged in trade. In his later years, he renounced the world and became a recluse, not leaving his cell except for a short time after Isha prayer. People only saw him then and did not see him again except from his cell. He had intercession, and the sultans of his time sought his counsel, especially Muhammad Abu Al-Kailak, who consulted him on all his affairs. He passed away in Kuthra and was buried there. His grave is in the outskirts of Bizar. Dulib Nisi, who was Muhammad Al-Dharir bin Idris, was born. His struggle was beyond measure. He would enter remembrance and worship in secluded squares.
