A fact from Al-Shaykh Saad appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 September 2012 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that al-Shaykh Saad in the Hauran region of Syria was mentioned by several Christian scholars and pilgrims, including Eusebius, Egeria and Jerome, as the town of St. Job? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/September. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Al-Shaykh Saad.

Is´t this place the same which is mentioned by Yaqut al-Hamawi ii, 680, see le Strange "Palestine under the Moslems", p. 427? Huldra ( talk) 23:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Nice find. It really does appear to be the same place since it obviously wasn't called Shaykh Saad in the 13th-century and Yaqut places it near Nawa in the Hauran. -- Al Ameer son ( talk) 00:30, 12 September 2012 (UTC) reply
