Misr (Fustat)
The old city of Fustat beside Cairo, which Arabic writers called Misr.
Today: Old Cairo, Egypt
Muslims, Jews, and Christians Pray Together
Ibn Battuta, the Rihla (Travels), dictated in Fez about 1355 · 1348–1349 (dictated about 1355)
وخرج جميع أهل البلد ذكورا وإناثا صغارا وكبارا، وخرج اليهود بتوراتهم، والنصارى بإنجيلهم، ومعهم النساء والولدان وجميعهم باكون متضرعون متوسلون إلى الله بكتبه وأنبيائه، وقصدوا مسجد الأقدام وأقاموا به في تضرعهم إلى قرب الزوال وعادوا إلى البلد فصلوا الجمعة وخفف الله تعالى عنهم فانتهى عدد الموتى إلى ألفين في اليوم الواحد، وقد انتهى عددهم بالقاهرة ومصر إلى أربعة وعشرين ألفا في يوم واحد.
The whole population of the city went out, men and women, young and old. The Jews came out with their Torah, and the Christians with their Gospel, with their women and children. All of them were weeping and pleading, calling on God through his books and his prophets. They went to the Mosque of the Footprints and stayed there, praying humbly, until nearly noon. Then they went back into the city and held the Friday prayer. God lightened the plague for them: the dead in a single day came to two thousand, while in Cairo and Misr the count had reached twenty-four thousand in one day.
