On the right of the grave are four stone maidens, and on its left four, with their hair loosened, as if they were mourners. {cite:muruj-al-dhahab p. 474-476}\n\nAl-Mas'udi reports that the jinn's lamentation over him can be heard at night until dawn. He transmits the account of Abu al-Bakhtari, who called to the grave, \"Aqran!\", and Hatim slaughtered his camel for him. Then Adi ibn Hatim brought him a camel in its place, in keeping with what he had seen in a dream. {cite:muruj-al-dhahab p. 474-476}\n\nHe gives the words of Salim ibn Zarara al-Ghatafani, that his grave was a place where guests were hosted, and that no one had ever passed by that grave on horseback without stopping. {cite:muruj-al-dhahab p. 474-476}"
