[edit]He was mentioned as "Malik" in an inscription on Pir Husayn Khanqah dated June 1294. He hasn't left any numismatic evidence.[1] According to disputed[2] Letters of Rashid-al-Din Hamadani, his daughter was married to Rashidaddin's eldest son Amir Ali and describes him as "the ruler of Shabaran and Shamakhi"[3] and even invited him to his estate in Fathabad.[4] Otherwise, he is not known to historiography.
