Badr al-Din Musa bin Sayf al-Din Abi Bakr Muhammad al-Azkashi (Arabic: بدر الدين موسى بن سيف الدين أبي بكر محمد الأزكشي; Kurdish: Bedir Eldîn Mûsa bîn Seyf Eldîn Ebûbekir Muhammed el-Ezkaşî; d. Sha'ban 715 AH / November 1315 AD) also known as Ibn al-Azkashi (ابن الأزكشي; Ibn El-Azkaşî) was a Marwanid Kurdish[1] emir of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt.
[3][4][5] In appreciation of his efforts, Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad bin Qalawun promoted him to the rank of Amir Tabalkhana and then appointed him as na'ib (deputy) of al-Rahba in the same year.
[6] Al-Afram had sought to promote emir Musa and place al-Rahba in his charge, so he thought that Musa would hand over the castle to him, but he refused that and resisted the great siege imposed by the Mongols on the castle until the hot weather began taking effect among their troops, so they were forced to leave, leaving behind huge siege machines of catapults and other things, which the people of al-Rahba seized.
[6] As soon as Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad arrived with his army from Egypt to the Levant, news of the departure of the Mongols had reached him.
When al-Nasir met with emir Musa near al-Rahba at the beginning of the following year, He admired him and promoted him to the rank of Amir Mi'a Muqadam Alaf, and emir Musa remained na'ib of al-Rahba until 715 AH/1315 AD, then he was removed from it and given command in Damascus, and Baktut al-Karamani succeeded him as na'ib of al-Rahba, and Musa remained in Damascus until he died that year on Friday, the eighth of Sha’ban, at his home in Maydan al-Hassa near Damascus, and was buried near al-Qubaybat.
