Kafr Saba ((アラビア語:كفر سابا)) was a Palestinian Arab village famous for its shrine dating to the Mamluk period and for a history stretching back for more than a millennium. The village was depopulated of its Arab residents by Jewish forces on May 13, 1948, one day before the new State of Israel was declared.〔Benvenisti, 2002, p. (273 )〕〔 Presently the remains of the villages consists of two domed shrines located on either side of Route 55 between Kfar Saba and Qalqiliyya. The larger of the two is called Nabi Yamin, situated on the east side. About 40 meters away, on the west side of the road, is a much smaller shrine named Nabi Serakha.〔Petersen, 2001, pp. 233, 235〕 The Nabi Yamin shrine was later taken over by a Haredi Jewish sect. ==History== Around year 985 C.E. Al-Muqaddasi described the place as a large village with a mosque that was situated on the road to Damascus.〔Khalidi, 1992, p. 555.〕〔Al-Muqaddasi cited in le Strange, 1890, p. (471 )〕 In 1047 Nasir-i-Khusraw described it as a town on the road to al-Ramla, rich in fig and olive trees.〔 A five-line inscription recording the grave of Sayf al-Din Bari, dated 1299-1300 CE was recorded within the shrine enclosure in 1922. The present location of this inscription is unknown.〔Petersen, 2001, p.235〕 A ''sabil'' ("water fountain") is situated on the east side of the main enclosure. An inscription embedded on the right side of this ''sabil'' referred to the foundation of a fountain for the public by Emir Tankiz, governor of Damascus in 1311-1312 CE.〔Mayer, L. A. (1933a), p.219. Cited in Petersen, 2001, p.235.〕 In 1596, Kafr Saba was part of the Ottoman Empire, ''nahiya'' (subdistrict) of Bani Sa'b under the ''liwa''' ("district") of Nablus with a population of 231. It paid taxes on wheat, barley, goats and beehives.〔Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 140. Quoted in Khalidi, p. 555〕 In 1730, the Egyptian Sufi traveller al-Luqaymi visited Kafr Saba and saw the shrine for a local religious figure, Binyamin (also called al-Nabi Yamin).〔 In 1808 CE, the ''riwaq'' (prayer hall) was constructed, according to a now vanished inscription. This ''riwaq'' occupies the south side of the main enclosure of the shrine.〔Petersen, 2001, p. 234.〕 In the late nineteenth century, the village of Kafr Saba was described as a village built of stone and adobe brick and was situated on a low hill. It contained a mosque and was surrounded by sandy ground, with olive groves to the north. Its population was estimated to be 800.〔Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. (134 ). Quoted in Khalidi, 1992, p. 555〕 Part of the village was sold to the ICA during the Ottoman period. Jewish immigrants to Palestine established a moshava on the land and called it Kfar Saba.〔Karlinsky and Greenwood, 2009, (pp. 158-159 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kafr Saba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
