Shaykhan Cemetery: Difference between revisions

There are not enough information on the time when this cemetery was named as Shaykhan. The name Shaykhan is not mentioned in any ancient historical documents. Based on sources, it can be said that it was recently named Shaykhan. Apparently the majority of Babilan Cemetery was destroyed due to expansion of city and constructions and the part where two famous hadith scholars, Zakariyya b. Idris Abu Jurayr al-Qumi and Zakariyya b. Adam remained harmless, then people called it Shaykhan (in Arabic it means two scholars). Shaykhan Cemetery was also called Al-Shuyukh Cemetery in a number of sources.
