However, after 7th/[[13th century]], a shrine and dome have been built at this location. Also, when Ibn Jubayr (d. [[614]]/1217-8), the famous tourist of the Islamic world, travelled to Damascus, he passed by Rawiya region and the current location of the shrine. In his report, he mentioned that the shrine belonged to [[Umm Kulthum bt. 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a)|Umm Kulthum]], daughter of Imam Ali (a). However, there is a possibility that Ibn Jubayr meant the second daughter of Imam Ali (a) which is [[Zaynab al-Sughra]], not Lady Zaynab (s) who is [[Zaynab al-Kubra]]. | However, after 7th/[[13th century]], a shrine and dome have been built at this location.

In his report, Ibn Jubayr mentions the existence of the shrine of Lady Zaynab (a) in the village of Rawiya, about 6 kilometers (a [[parasang]]) away from [[Damascus]] and says, "a large mosque is built there and there are houses outside it. There are also dedicated lands around it. People know these regions as the grave of Umm Kulthum." He finally mentions that he stayed there and visited the shrine of Lady Zaynab (a). Abu Bakr al-Hirawi (d. [[611]]/1214-5) also visited the shrine of Lady Zaynab (s) and has a report about it. | In his report, Ibn Jubayr mentions the existence of the shrine of Lady Zaynab (a) in the village of Rawiya, about 6 kilometers (a [[parasang]]) away from [[Damascus]] and says, "a large mosque is built there and there are houses outside it.
