Plan: simple tomb. Shuqerat (1988) describes several prominent tombs in the cemetery of the az-Zaydāni clan. As G. Schumacher mentions, both burials were marked by simple graves and not by mausolea. Due to the lack of inscription or reliable oral information, a more specific identification of the venerated tombs of the two Sheūkh Sa’īd and Mas‘ūd is not possible anymore.
