   • 2008 (1955), Emile Tyan, X: Judicial Organization, Majid Khadduri, Herbert J. Liebesny (editors), Law in the Middle East, Volume 1: Origin and Development of Islamic Law, page 272:

     In the Mamliik empire, it is certain that the h?jib possessed judicial competence. […] In a first phase, the personality of the h?jib does not yet stand out from his administrative character and, naturally, his competence is still restricted to the surroundings to which he belongs. The h?jib is still the minister entrusted with the settlement of suits filed against the am?rs and the soldiers, and likewise litigations between soldiers, and especially disputes arising over the endowments and the fiefs which are granted to members of the army.
