Pilgrimage
The annual pilgrimage takes place between the 11th and 15th days of Sha'ban.[6][7]
Robert Bertram Serjeant, in his study of the pilgrimage rite to the tomb of Hud, verified on the spot[1] the facts related by Al-Harawi,[8]: 97/220–221 who described at the gate of the Mosque, on the west side, the rock onto which Hud climbed to make the call to prayer, and mentioned the grotto of Balhut at the bottom of the ravine.[9] Around the tomb and neighborhood, various ancient ruins and inscriptions have been found.[10]
