History[edit]
An inscription above the main entrance dates the building to 695AH/1295−1296CE. The inscription in full is:
"In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate. The construction of this blessed khanqah, called the House of the Pious, was ordered by the servant needful of God Almighty, the servant of God, son of the servant of the Lord, son of the servant of the Creator, Sanjar al-Dawadari al-Salihi. He made it a waqf, in his desire for the countenance of God Almighty, in favour of thirty persons from the community of Sufis and novices, Arab and non-Arab, twenty of whom shall be unmarried and ten married, to dwell there without leaving, not in summer, winter, spring nor autumn, except on specific business; and to give hospitality to those Sufis and novices who visit, for a period of ten days. It was endowed with the village of Bir Nabala[1][2] in the district of Jerusalem, and the village of Hajla[3] in the district of Jericho, and an oven and mill, and the apartment above them, in Jerusalem, and a house, a soap factory, six shops and a paper mill in Nablus, and three orchards, three shops and four mills in Beisan. This endowment is for the khanqah, and for the teaching of the school of law of al-Shafi‘i, and for a shaykh to give instruction in Prophetic Tradition and a Koran reader with whom the Koran will be studied, and for ten persons to study Tradition and for ten persons to recite the Book of God in full each day, and a panegyrist to chant the praise of the Prophet, all this in the Aqsa Mosque. This was done at the commencement of the year sixhundredandninety-five [1295] under the supervision of the needful of God, Sanjar al-Qaymari, may God forgive him. The endowment for this blessed khanqah and the aforementioned offices also includes the village of Tubrus[4] in the district of Qaqun and the Queen’s Bath at Nablus the Protected. The work of the Master ‘All b. Salama, the architect."[5][6]
