Naming
Kamel Al-Asali in record 205 from the records of theIslamic Court and the following is stated:“To Al Aqsa Mosque, Al-Kaas and Al-Narinj pond, which is in the mosque. AlNrainj is a kind of citrus that resembles orange”.
Some historians believe that pond dates back to the Mamluk period, based on what Mujair al-Din said in the presence of his facades south of the Qaitbay mausoleum. This does not apply to the pool, as we explained in the hadith of Qasim Basha. It is likely that the building of the pond dates back to the Ottoman period, where Sheikh Abdul Ghani Al Nabulsi described it as saying: “The mentioned school turned to the Hanabla mosque,
where the five prayers are delivered separately, and in front of it is a large pool fed by water from a fountain in the middle of it. For those who want ablution, there are water pipes near it”.
It was supplied with water from the nearby Qassem Basha waterway reservoir. The pond was later dried.
