In 1909, the editor of Al-Hilal, a Christian journal published from Beirut, Lebanon, wrote:
“In Mohalla Khan-i-yar of the city (Srinagar), there is a tomb. The people of Kashmir describe it as that of Prophet (Nabi) Yuz Asaf. The ordinary people of the locality visit this tomb regularly. In certain books of history it is stated that Yuz saf was a Nabi (Prophet) who had come from a far off country. He died there and was buried in that city.” (Al-Hilal, Vol. 2, Part 4 (1903))
