MAQAM. The Persian Companion Salman al-Farisi (Salman al-Pak) is traditionally said to have spent part of his youth in Nusaybin; a maqam attributed to him stands in a mosque courtyard there. His actual grave is at al-Mada'in (Salman Pak) in Iraq, with another maqam at Ramla. Locally visited. (Sources: TDV 'Selmân-ı Fârisî'; Mardin Life)
