It said that this gate is the gate of the Buraq, from which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) entered at the night of Isra’a, and it called the gate of funerals to get out of it in ancient times.
This gate seen from the cemetery of Bab al-Rahma and not be seen from inside the wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque where it buried in the dirt in order to raise the level of the eastern part of the mosque (now cultivated olive).
*Note: There is no validity to the funeral gate to the right of the outside of Alasbat gate (behind the iron reservoirs), but that closed arc, since the wall behind it was built with huge old stones that have no gate impact, and no one has ever said so.
