Seyyid Bilal is a sayyid descended from Hz. Hüseyin, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). According to the tomb inscription he was born in 1132 and died in 1212. He spent his childhood in the Karbala and Baghdad region and around 1154 migrated with his family to Anatolia, settling in Vergili (Becirman) village of the Gercüş district. His square-plan tomb is covered by a main dome surrounded by ten smaller domes, with separate entrances for men and women. With commemoration events held every second Thursday of September, it is among the most active faith-tourism centres of Southeastern Anatolia.
