Description

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, al-Ḥanākīya (جبل العهين). Arabic inscription quoting Qur'ān 18: 21, as documented 1969-74.

 

Notes

Coordinates:  24°59'21"N 40°38'27"E. Wikipedia.

In this record 'Āṣīm ibn 'Alī ibn al-Tha'labī beseeches God to forgive him.

Lines 3-4 draw on Qur'ān surwar 18: 21 وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا and 45: 26 رَيْبَ فِيهِ  لَا. 

There seems to be no direct correspondence for فإنّه يشهد أنّ اللّه حقّ but the allied phrase اِنَّ وَعۡدَ اللّٰہِ حَقٌّ appears frequently, e.g. 30: 60

Notes (Arabic)

١) اللهمّ إغفر لعاصم

٢) بن علىّ بن عاصم العلىّ ثمّ العو

٣) لىّ (العولىّ) فإنّه يشهد أنّ اللّه حقّ و

٤) أنّ الساعة لا ريب فيها
