In Eyyüp Nebi village (Viranşehir), a modest square, single-domed shrine is attributed to Rahima Khatun, wife of Prophet Job, who tended him through his illness; it lies about 500 m northwest of Job's shrine. This is a maqam/visitation tradition (not a confirmed grave) — the village's prophet shrines have been visited for centuries; Sultan Murad IV endowed waqf for their upkeep, and they were restored by the Şanlıurfa Governorate from 1992.
