Qayrawan

Qayrawan, the garrison-city of Ifriqiya; Uqba ibn Nafi' al-Fihri laid it out on a thicket-site of trees unapproachable for beasts, snakes and deadly vermin — praying to his Lord until all that was removed, the very beasts fleeing with their young — then built, the people building houses and dwellings with him, and built its congregational mosque, having seen in a dream a man giving the call to prayer where its minaret stood, so he built the minarets on the man's station; and Muhammad ibn al-Ash'ath al-Khuza'i repaired the city and its mosque in his governorship for Abu al-Abbas.
