Notes
A pyramid-shaped tombstone with steps and a prism on top. On it was prominently carved an inscription in Kufic letters that reads the following text: “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and may God’s blessings and peace be upon the Prophet / Muhammad and his family and peace, every soul that will taste death / This is the grave of Abdullah Ibn Muhammad, may God have mercy on him. He died on / Friday, the first of Ramadan in the year eighty-eight and four.”; On its sides, the prism bears the following inscription: “Praise be to God.” The condition of this stele is very poor and the inscription can only be read with great difficulty.
