Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Al-Malik al-ʿĀdil Sayf ad-Dīn Abū Bakr ibn Nāṣir ad-Dīn Muḥammad (Template:Langx, better known as al-Adil II) (c.Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". 1221 – 9 February 1248) was the Ayyubid Sultan of Egypt from 1238 to 1240.
When his father al-Kamil, nephew of Saladin, died in 1238, al-Adil II followed him somewhat unprepared. When the country plunged into anarchy, his exiled half-brother, as-Salih Ayyub, seized the opportunity and deposed him. Al-Adil died in prison eight years later.
Contemporary Muslim historians wrote disapprovingly about al-Adil II's "boisterous living and loose morals".[1]Template:Rp This is seemingly corroborated by an inlaid brass basin made for him by the master craftsman Ahmad al-Dhaki al-Mawsili which contains a "somewhat risqué" depiction of total nudity, the only known example from medieval Islamic metalwork.[1]Template:Rp
