Gates · Northern boundary between Asbat and Faisal gates
A rectangular northern gateway with a name associated with forgiveness. [1]
Bab Hitta lies in the north wall between Asbat and Faisal gates. Awqaf describes a rectangular opening with flanking platforms and prayer niches. [1]
The custodial account records Ayyubid renewal in 617 AH and later Ottoman work. It connects the name with the Qur’anic language of asking forgiveness; the architectural record and the religious association are different kinds of evidence. [1]
