 Al @-@ Afdal strove to retrieve Damascus a final time , but failed . Al @-@ Adil entered the city in triumph in 1201 . Thereafter , al @-@ Adil 's line , rather than Saladin 's line , dominated the next 50 years of Ayyubid rule . However , az @-@ Zahir still held Aleppo and al @-@ Afdal was given Samosata in Anatolia . Al @-@ Adil redistributed his possessions between his sons : al @-@ Kamil was to succeed him in Egypt , al @-@ Ashraf received al @-@ Jazira , and al @-@ Awhad was given Diyar Bakr , but the latter territory shifted to al @-@ Ashraf 's domain after al @-@ Awhad died .
