It is Egyptian custom to visit the necropolis on the days of Eid. Today @mikati_rana followed this custom and visited a number of scholars and saints. At the tomb of al-Suyūṭī we read the ḥadīth al-musalsal bi-yawm al-‘īd through various isnāds to him.

@miraalhussein Hehe! Most people are surprised when archaeological sites are found here. They shouldn’t be: archaeology is just rubbish from past societies. It’s literally everywhere humans have ever lived. But there’s a canon of ancient civilisations developed in the West during colonialism
