Summary
The Mu'ayyadi Bimaristan of Wasit was a hospital opened in Wasit on Tuesday, the fifteenth of Dhu al-Qa'da, 413 AH. It was built by Mu'ayyad al-Mulk Abu 'Ali al-Hasan al-Rukhkhi, vizier of Musharraf al-Dawla 1.
Staffing and endowment
Medicines and syrups were brought to it. It was given a storekeeper, physicians and agents, endowments were made for it, and a monthly allowance was set on the sultan's accounts for its upkeep 1.
What is not yet checked
Ibn al-Jawzi records a disputed judgement of the founder's work in another entry of the same volume. That entry has not been checked in the copy available here, so it is held as a lead and is not stated in the record. The source spells the founder's nisba as al-Rukhkhi; other works may spell it differently.
