Remarkable inscriptions, carved some 1,400 years ago:
“I am ʿUthmān ibn Nāʾil; I ask Allāh for Paradise.”
“I am Tammām ibn Dīnār; I ask Allāh to grant me success in all that He loves and is pleased with.”
“I am ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAqīl al-Anṣārī.”
“I am Suwayd ibn Nuṣayk; I love Allāh and His Messenger, and I strive to enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong.”
“I am Abū Nawfal Hārūn ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥa al-Taymī; I ask Allāh, by His mercy, to grant me Paradise.”
Fourteen centuries on, their names, their faith, and their supplications endure etched in stone, still reaching us across the ages.
