878 Geographical Notice of the Valley of Jullalabad, [No. 155. 



renewed by Timoor Shah and Shah Zuman, during the Baurikzye 

 rule were quite neglected. 



The Gundummuk garden has been quite destroyed; the fine old 

 plane trees were cut down by sirdar Mahomed Akbar's order, to build 

 the fort of Futtung, at the confluence of the Soorkhrood and Gun- 

 dummuk rivers. The fort would be found strong against Afghan 

 troops without artillery. 



There is a Zearut at Char Bagh, to which Moosulmans and Hindoos 

 go to pray. The former suppose it to be the tomb of Shah Fyz-oollah- 

 Wullee, the cup-bearer of Mahomed the prophet ; the Hindoos, on the 

 other hand, imagine it to be the resting place of Hajee Ruttun, a 

 fuqueer of great sanctity and note. There is also a large Hindoo 

 temple in the town of Jullalabad, inhabited by a supposed descendant 

 of Ruttun. Hindoos in great numbers come from Peshawur and 

 other places to make him offerings, which are said to amount to the 

 large sum of 40,000 rupees annually. 



In the neighbourhood of Jullalabad, there is also Shah Murdan's 

 Zearut, held sacred under the supposition that Allee, the son-in-law of 

 Mahomed, rested there, and in the temple is exhibited a large black 

 stone, shewing an impression of the hand of Allee. A garden is attach- 

 ed to the Zearut, where a fair is held every Thursday, to which crowds 

 from the town and camp resort. Nazir Hussan, formerly in the service 

 of Nuwab Zuman Khan, is now expending his money on the Zearut 

 and garden. The Zearut was originally raised by Abdoola Khan 

 Khafir, in the reign of Timoor Shah.
