Kisah dari Salalah: (13) Ke Makam Nabi Ayyub (Prophet Job)
Source: alketab.com
Sementara itu, di dinding ruang makam terpampang gambar pohon silsilah yang mencantumkan nama 25 orang Nabi, termasuk nama Nabi Ayyub a.s.
Diluar gedung makam, kami melihat semacam sumur segi empat, dengan bekas telapak kaki di dasarnya. Bekas telapak kaki itu dipercaya sebagai telapak kaki Nabi Ayyub, saat menghentakkan kakinya ke bumi hingga keluar air (seperti disebutkan dalam Al Qur'an).
Dan berikut ini adalah foto2 yang kami ambil saat kembali ke kota Salalah.
Melalui internet saya temukan catatan ekstensif seorang penduduk Salalah asal India. Mengenai makam Nabi Ayyub a.s. ia menuliskan sbb:
"During our visit to the tomb we met a gentleman who told us the story of Nabi Ayoub. He said that the Prophet is from Syria and had two wives. He had become very sick and the illness spanned over 15 years. During that time the exterior of his body became infested with worms. Nabi Ayoub believed that his flesh was the food for these creatures of God and to show his devotion to God, he allowed the worms to eat of his flesh. If a worm would fall off, he would pick it back up and put it back on his flesh.
The sickness repulsed the people of Syria to the extent that he had to leave the area. Only one of his two wives chose to travel with him. The one who remained behind was as repulsed by his sickness and belief as were others who drove him away. The wife who remained with him was seemingly very supportive and accepting of his devotion to God. They left Syria and travelled to the mountain top where his remains now lie."

Siang itu kami lunch di kamar hotel dengan nasi briyani ala Salalah. Sambil bincang-bincang apakah sore nya akan ke blow holes di pantai Mughsail atau ke Khor Roori ancient port, yang lebih kuno lagi daripada Al Balid.
