The book al-Durr al-munazzam fi ziyarat al-Jabal al-Muqattam, also known as Mursid al-zuwwar ila qubur al-abrar, by Muwaffaq al-Din b. ‘Utman al-Sari’i, is the oldest treatise of ziyara (devotional visit to tombs and mausolea) to Cairo and Egypt that has reached us. The main difficulty linked to the transmission of this text is that most manuscripts contain many additions, which were probably added from the seventh till the tenth century AH. Indeed, Ibn ‘Utman handed his text over to his family, most of whom were suyuh organizing ziyarat, and they took the initiative to add ziyarat that were not in Ibn ‘Utman’s text. This present edition only contains the original text, after the editor systematically rejected the manuscripts that fell into the hands of suyuh from Ibn ‘Utman’s family who were leading ziyarat, which makes it a proper scientific edition.
