- عمارت
أبو الهول
The colossal statue beside the Great Pyramid in a sunken depression eastward — al-Umari's eyewitness description: only its head and neck show above the ground, like a tonsured Abyssinian monk's head, its face painted red to the ears, unchanged through the ages; standing it would be a good twenty cubits — held to be a talisman keeping the sand off the tilled land. - عمارت
المسجد الأقصى
The Aqsa mosque on Jerusalem's south-east corner as al-Muqaddasi saw it: Davidic foundations of ten-cubit carved blocks, Abd al-Malik's superstructure 'finer than the Damascus mosque' until an Abbasid-era earthquake felled the roofed part save the mihrab; too costly for the treasury, the caliph had each provincial amir rebuild one arcade — leaving a visible 'seam' — and Abdallah ibn Tahir added fifteen marble arcades; twenty-six doors, the greatest plated in gilded brass, the domes of the Chain, the Ascension and the Prophet on its platform. - عمارت
القليس (الكعبة اليمانية)
The church Abraha built in Yemen to divert the Arabs’ pilgrimage from Mecca — the ambition that led to the elephant campaign. Al-Hamdani's native tradition names it, with Ghumdan, the twin monument of Sana'a and ascribes its building to Bilqis. - عمارت
مسجد بادشاهي
A mosque in Lahore, dated to 1671 CE. - عمارت
دار الأنماط
A Fustat emporium where women's fabrics and luxury dress were sold, drawn from every land, its benches sat by the leisured and the pleasure-seekers — counted by al-Umari among the marvels of building. - عمارت
دار الندوة
The council house founded by Qusayy on the north side of the mosque of the Kaaba, with its door into the mosque; Quraysh deliberated its grave matters and married off its daughters there. - عمارت
ذو الخلصة (الكعبة اليمانية)
A pagan sanctuary venerated by Khath'am, Bajila and the neighbouring tribes of Tihama, who made pilgrimage to it; it was called the 'Ka'ba of Yemen' or the 'Ka'ba of the north' in contrast to the house of Mecca. In the Sahih the Prophet asked Jarir ibn 'Abdallah al-Bajali 'will you not relieve me of Dhu al-Khalasa?' — he rode out with a hundred and fifty horsemen of Ahmas, broke it and killed those he found there, and the Prophet prayed for them and for Ahmas. - عمارت
قبة الصخرة
The Dome of the Rock in the Aqsa's court as al-Muqaddasi saw it c. 375 AH: an octagon of four gilded doors facing the stairways — Qibli, Israfil, al-Sur, al-Nisa' — ringed by arcades on piers 'nobler than marble, peerless', a hundred-cubit dome sheathed in gilded brass built in three shells (painted boards, an iron lattice against the wind, timber plate), so that sunrise made it blaze; 'I saw nothing like this dome in all the East'. In the Mamluk age Ibn Fadl Allah al-Umari measured it again door by door — the eastern gate doubled with a gilded arch between, the northern called Bab al-Janna, the western like it, each leaf sheathed in chased yellow brass, with the cubit-survey of dome, drum and court. - عمارت

خربة المفجر
- عمارت
سد مأرب
The great dam of the Sabaean kingdom whose construction began in the Mukarrib era; its repeated breaches, and final burst around 450 CE, are the Sayl al-Arim of Surat Saba in the sira’s account. - عمارت
المسجد الحرام
The mosque in Mecca. Al-Muqaddasi's eyewitness portrait c. 375 AH — marble columns carried by the Mahdi's order from Alexandria to Jeddah by sea, three marble-pillared arcades clad in mosaics made by Syrian and Egyptian craftsmen whose names he could still read, nineteen gates including Bab Bani Shayba and Bab al-Nadwa, brass lamp-rings around the tawaf fed with candles by the kings of Egypt and Yemen, and three basins filled by Zubayda's channel. Four centuries on, Ibn Fadl Allah al-Umari measures the Kaaba cubit by cubit — four cubits from door to Black Stone, the Multazam; the sealed door in its back called 'the refuge from sins'; its gilded door renewed under the Nasiri sultans after the old plates were valued at eighteen thousand dinars. - عمارت

المسجد النبوي
The mosque the Prophet founded in Medina after the Hijra; his camel knelt at the spot and he said 'this is the lodging, God willing', and it was the date-drying yard (mirbad) of two orphans, Sahl and Suhayl ibn 'Amr, in the care of As'ad ibn Zurara — he refused it as a gift until he bought it, ten dinars paid by Abu Bakr in al-Waqidi's account. They built it of mudbrick on a stone foundation of about three cubits; its measure is reported as seventy by sixty cubits, or a hundred square, or less than a hundred; its qibla first faced Jerusalem, and when it was turned the rear door was sealed and its opposite opened; of its three doors Bab 'Atika — the Door of Mercy — and Bab Al 'Uthman are named; it stood unroofed until the heat drove them to shade it with palm trunks and fronds then clay, the Prophet saying 'no — a shelter like the shelter of Moses'. - عمارت

مقياس النيل
The Nile gauge in al-Mas'udi's account: sixteen cubits means full kharaj, seventeen the perfect flood, eighteen floods a quarter of Egypt and augurs plague — the record nineteen came in 99 under Umar II; the gauge's thirteenth and fourteenth cubits are named Munkar and Nakir and below them Egypt prays for rain; the four great canals open at the Feast of the Cross on 14 Tut. - واقعہ
هدم اللات
تقریباً دسمبر 630 عیسوی · رمضان 9 ھFulfilling the Thaqif treaty's clause, the Prophet sent Khalid ibn al-Walid who demolished al-Lat at al-Ta'if; al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba struck its gate with the pickaxe after feigning a collapse that terrified the onlookers, and its ornaments and covering were divided the same day. - نادر شے

عود المقام
A rod of tarfa' (tamarisk) wood set in the qibla wall of the Prophet's mosque; he would hold it in his palm and lean on it when rising to pray, then turn right and left saying 'straighten and even your rows' — some say it was made for him when he grew old, with a second rod joined to it; it went missing in 'Umar's time and was found buried at Quba eaten by woodworm, so 'Umar repaired it and returned it to the mihrab. - نادر شے
بعل صنم بعلبك

بيلتا طليطلة
Toledo's twin marvels — two basins al-Zarqallu built in a vaulted chamber in the Great River at Bab al-Dabbaghin after hearing of the spinning talisman of India; they filled and ebbed with the waxing and waning moon by half a seventh each day, full on the fifteenth and dry by the twenty-ninth, and swelled back instantly if emptied. They worked until the Christians took Toledo and Alfonso had one lifted in 528 to learn its mechanism, killing both; another report blames the Jewish astrologer Hatim b. Rabuwa. - نادر شے

الجذع الحنّان
The palm-trunk the Prophet leaned on while preaching before the minbar was made, which yearned when he left it. Later generations popularly held that a lead-fastened wooden piece in the pillar facing the Rawda was a remnant of it — Ibn Jubayr saw people kissing and blessing themselves by a visible piece set in a column — but al-Samhudi disputes this, judging it likelier a remnant of the staff of the prayer station, and records that 'Izz al-Din ibn Jama'a ordered its removal in 855 AH. - نادر شے
خاتم النبي
A silver signet ring inscribed 'Muhammad, Messenger of God' in three lines — Muhammad a line, rasul a line, and Allah a line — adopted when the Prophet was told the foreign kings would not accept an unsealed letter, its bezel of the same silver and turned toward the palm. Ibn 'Umar reports a gold ring first, cast off when people copied it — 'I will never wear it' — then the silver one; Abu Bakr wore it after him, then 'Umar, then 'Uthman, from whose hand it fell into the well of Aris. Abu Bakr sealed with it the letter he sent to Bahrain on taking office. - نادر شے
كساء النبي الملبَّد
A patched, felted cloak (kisa' mulabbad) which 'A'isha produced for Abu Burda saying 'in this the Prophet's spirit was drawn out', and with it a thick izar of Yemeni make — among the belongings kept for blessing after his death. - نادر شے

The scrap of leather bearing the Prophet's grant of Hebron, al-Martum, Bayt Aynun and Bayt Ibrahim to Tamim al-Dari and his brothers, in bold Kufic; al-Umari saw it with his own eyes in 745 when Nasir al-Din al-Khalili al-Tamimi produced it — kept in a black silk-and-cotton sleeve from the caliph al-Mustadi's own cuff inside an ebony box wrapped in silk, and Umari copied it from al-Mustadi's authenticated transcript noting Ali ibn Abi Talib wrote it with Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman as witnesses; al-Safadi quotes Abu Bakr al-Arabi who saw it, and al-Qalqashandi records it still in the Tamimis' hands toward 821, produced before the sultan whenever their right was contested. - نادر شے

نعلا النبي عند أنس
A pair of worn hairless sandals (jardawan) with two toe-thongs; Anas ibn Malik produced them for pupils in his old age, and Thabit al-Bunani reported after him that they were the Prophet's sandals — among the belongings the Companions and Followers kept for blessing after his death. - نادر شے
