The opening
CHAPTER XXI. THE PEOPLE OF AL-MADINAH.
AL-MADINAH. (Continued.)
THE PEOPLE OF AL-MADINAH.
AL-MADINAH contains but few families descended from the Prophets Auxiliaries. I heard only of four whose genealogy is undoubted. These were,
1. The Bayt al-Ansari, or descendants of Abu Ayyub, a most noble race whose tree ramifies through a space of fifteen hundred years. They keep the keys of the Kuba Mosque, and are Imams in the Harim, but the family is no longer wealthy or powerful.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
