Ibn al-Zayyats al-Kawakib al-sayyara fi tartib al-ziyara (Orbiting Planets for Organising Visits) is certainly the most comprehensive and systematic, and overall most important work on visiting tombs. Its author wrote his work more than seven and a half centuries after the foundation of the first cemetery of the qarafa. He built on the experience of his predecessors, such as Muwaffaq al-Din ibn Uthman al-Shari’i (d. 615/1218), Ibn al-Nasikh (d. after 696/1297), and Ibn al-Jabbas (d. after 736/1336). During this period, this “city” underwent many topographical changes and witnessed the addition of many sections, buildings, and monuments. An increasing number of saints, scholars, descendants of the Prophet, judges and rulers were buried there. Ibn al-Zayyat recorded all this for us.
