Al-Safadi's gifts as a stylist and calligrapher opened government service to him: he first held kitabat al-darj at Safad, then at Cairo; he conducted kitabat al-sirr at Aleppo for a time between 723/1323 and 726/1326, and briefly at al-Rahba toward the end of the decade, while shuttling between the capitals Damascus and Cairo.
