History

According to the 14th-century author Wajih al-Din al-Hubayshi, who wrote a history of Wusab, ad-Dann (known then as Hisn Naʽman) originated during pre-Islamic times, and the Sulayhids had later built a castle atop the ruins.[2] The Sulayhid ruler Ali al-Sulayhi resided here for several years during the mid-11th century, and he had extended the castle here; in 1064, he also commissioned a Great Mosque in nearby Qardah (identified with modern Harurah in the territory of the Bani Shu'ayb).[2]
