Reason for the name
Named this for its occurrence in the Saadiya quarter.
Dr. Mohamed Ghosheh was alone in revealing and rooting it. According to his study, the Sheikh attributed to corner is a good guardian, did not mention the sources except for the Turkish traveler Oleya Chalabi, who came to Jerusalem following the liberation of Nasser Saladin from the French occupation in 583 AH / 1187).
He was a follower of Sheikh Saad al-Din al-Jabbawi the elder; the founder of the Saadiyya-Jabbawiyya method, which he took from Abi Madin al-Ghuhaa, that he imprisoned by the waqf and died and buried there. However, the signs were not available to determine whether Sheikh Saad founded this corner or not.
According to the historian Mughir al-Din al-Hanbali, the corner known in the 10th / 11th century AD, but the legitimate arguments rarely deal with its affairs. This may be explained by the presence of more than one tomb in the city of Jerusalem named after Sheikh Saad, which led to confusion, and perhaps the method of Sufism that have been associated with them faded with the death of the owner or founder.
Among the rare documentary references, that Dr. Ghosheh monitored around the Saadiya corner its ruin after the powerful earthquake that hit Jerusalem in 953 AH / 1546 AD.
Reconstruction of Abd al-Karim Khalifa ibn al-Sheikh Hussein al-Khaluti, but it abandoned after almost three centuries, according to a legitimate argument from the year (1249 AH / 1833 AD), it destroyed, and there is no reward for the waqf, and there is no one to rent it, and it became a place for thieves and dogs.
Akel Al-Turgeman family of the Jerusalem take care of its waqf, known him Hakoura known Al Madbgha, so the judge decided to replace the Al-Hakoura and the house destroyed for the reconstruction of the corner, there is only one room left of this building or the effects of the corner, which is inhabited by one of the Jerusalemite families today.
