BAGHDAD — The shrine of the famous Arab poet Abu Tayyib al-Mutanabbi (A.D. 915-965) in the Wasit governorate, southeast of Baghdad, has risen from a state of neglect and become a “holy place,” where miracles occur, according to visitors to the shrine that Al-Monitor spoke with Nov. 27.
“I pray at the shrine, and I pray for miracles and to earn a good living, as I heard from citizens who confirmed the miracles performed at this holy site,” said Saad al-Sultani, a farmer in the Numaniyah district in Wasit.
