Inscription of al-Ḥārith ibn al-Muṭṭalib

نقش الحارث بن المطلب

Medina

  1. اللهم اغفر للحرث (للحارث)
  2. ابن المطلب فإ
  3. نه يشهد أنه لا ا
  4. له إلا الله وحد
  5. ك لا شريك
  6. لك وكتب في سنة تسع وسبعين

O God, forgive al-Ḥārith ibn al-Muṭṭalib, for he bears witness that there is no god but God, alone, without partner, and it was written in the year seventy-nine.

One of the few inscriptions in this corpus explicitly described as Madanī (Medinan) rather than Ḥijāzī script, and found in Medina itself rather than along a desert route. First published by Muḥammad al-Mughadhdhawī on 22 April 2019, making it one of the more recently documented inscriptions in the catalog.
