mu'in ad-din had three daughters, who married nur ad-din, mujir ad-din, and a soldier named margar respectively. in addition to ibn al-qalanisi's favourable depiction of him, the christian chronicler william of tyre also speaks very highly of mu'in ad-din: he showed "sincere fidelity" in his negotiations with the kingdom of jerusalem, and was "a man of much wisdom and a lover of our people." william of tyre rendered his names in latin as "meheneddin" for mu'in ad-din and "anardus" for unur.
