traditions concerning some of the tombs in the city. There is one tomb said to be that of Christ. Sheikh Al-Said-us-Sadiq, who lived in the third and fourth centuries of the Muslim era, and who wrote over 300 books, writes as follows: Then Yuz Asaf, after roaming about in many cities, reached that country which is called Kashmir. He travelled in it far and wide and stayed there and spent his (remaining) life there, until death overtook him, and he left the earthly body and was elevated towards the Light. But, before his death he sent for a of his, Ba'bad (Thomas) by name, who used to serve him and was well-versed in all matters. He (Yuz Asaf) expressed his last will to him and said: My time for departing from this world has come. Carry on your duties properly and turn not back from truth, and say your prayers regularly. He then directed Ba’bad (Thomas) to prepare a tomb over him (at the very place he died). He then stretched his legs towards the West and head towards the East and died. May God bless him. Abdul Qadir bin Qaziul-Quzat Wasil Ali Khan writes in his book Hashmat-i-Kashmir:. . . the tomb is described by the people of the location to be that of a prophet of the people of the book which words are generally applied to Christians. Mulla Nadiri, the first Muslim historian of Kashmir, writes about Takhte Sulaiman: on the other stone of the stairs (of this temple) he also inscribed that he (Yuz Asaf) was Yusu, Prophet of the Children of Israel. 82
