But the grave of Aamina, mother of Muhammad, wasn't in al-Abwā’, between Makka and Yathrib ? --Cloj (talk) 14:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fatima "only child"[edit]

I edited this as it is a point of contention, i.e. the (Shi'a) claim that Khadijah only had one child with the prophet Muhammad. Sunni Islam recognises other children as from their union, and Fatima as the youngest. --86.178.42.115 (talk) 00:01, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic spelling of Mu'alla[edit]

Ar-wiki writes al-Mu'alla as المعلاة‎ (with ta marbutah), which seems to be supported by Arabic maps of Mecca, but ever since the start of the page on en-wiki, the Arabic name in the lead sentence has been spelled المعلى‎ (with alif maqsurah). Which one is correct? Pinging Eperoton and MezzoMezzo for some Arabic input. --HyperGaruda (talk) 06:45, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Two different words.[1] The version with ta marbuta is a noun pronounced al-Ma'la(t), which appears in the alternative name مقبرة المعلاة. Eperoton (talk) 14:44, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that also explains the name on this 1946 map. Thanks! --HyperGaruda (talk) 17:06, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What he said. Sorry I didn't read this early enough to help. MezzoMezzo (talk) 22:01, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
