black stone was kept as a footstool in the castle built by this man

edit

I just came across this sermon by an indian scholar who suggests that after the black stone was stolen by this man's invasion of mecca, he built a castle in "al hasa" and on placed the black stone as a footstool for 20 years. [1]

I am going to investigate it further Mhveinvp (talk) 13:37, 3 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Ethnicity of Abu Tahr

edit

I kept removing the source that says that he was Persian, and it kept on being added again without an actual source. Can someone please provide an actual written source with an author name that he was Persian? Being born in a city that is today’s Iran does not make him Persian. Given that he never wrote in Farsi nor there is an evidence that he spoke Farsi. Alhitmi123 (talk) 13:20, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your personal opinion is still not WP:RS (read it), understand that and refrain from giving it as if you were a scholar. Encyclopædia Iranica is more than reliable here, as you've already been shown here [1] [2]. And as you've been told by 4 users (me included), Iranica (which also has an author, which you can easily see if you read the source: Wilferd Madelung) does indeed call him a Persian [3] [4] [5] [6].
