ALT1:... that the followers of Abu Sa'id al-Jannabi, the founder of the Qarmatian state in Bahrayn, believed that he would return after his death, and always kept a saddled horse at the entrance of his tomb?

"His partisans believed that he would return; a horse was always kept saddled at the door of his tomb."

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Article is new enough (having been expanded greatly from a stub) and long enough, seems neutral and has reliable sources. Earwig's Copyvio Detector stands at 3.8% so it seems to be free of copyright violations. The original hook is cited and has been checked, ALT1 is cited in an offline source accepted in good faith. Both hooks are interesting, I personally prefer ALT1. QPQ done. All in all, everything seems OK to me - well done on creating a well-referenced and interesting article!
