الملخص EN

The history of registering the history of the cities has always been a surmise in the writings of the historians and scientists to write about the virtues of the cities and its history and what is related to it religiously, politically culturally, historically and socially so that their writings formed a good tributary that supplied the Islamic studies with many aspects related to these which would have become otherwise vague or ambiguous.

one of these most prominent compositions that are related to the history of the cities is the virtues of the sacred house by one of the greatest authors of the Islamic history, Abu al-Ma'aly al-Mushrif Bin al-Marji Bin Ibrahim al-Maqdassy, a Magdassy scientist of the fifth Higri century who gave a great care to the holy spot (the sacred house) he had a special approach in registering its history.

concentrating on its various aspects and what is related to it starting from its creation up to the caliphate of the Abbasid Mahdi 158 h (775-785) Abu al-Ma'ali endeavored to supply the reader with whatever related to the sacred house of legislations desirables ,worships and the like .the importance of the virtues of the sacred house lies in containing a huge religious material which is shown through the Quranie verses and the hadith related to the sacred house ,annexing al-sham to it as part of its land and the kinds of worships that must be practiced in it showing also the stories that were intended to draw the attention of the visitors of the sacred house and the importance of settling in it or defending it and the value of prayer ,fasting, alms giving and charity and the importance of avoiding sins.

the intention is to intensify the greatness and sacredness of the sacred house in addition, the book included a large historian substance which drew the attention of the subsequent historians that led us to know the religious historical and relatively political aspects and the events related to the sacred house such as myths and battles that would take place at the end of the world as a result Abu-al-Ma'aly became a source for many historians afterwards who were interested in writing about the history of the sacred house.
