Within the walls is a second enclosure arched on all sides, in which is the rauza : the buildings are of brick and lime; the masjid is low and has three arched entrance in the faced. In it is a dedicatory inscription stating that it was built by Jafar “ with elegant arrangements” in A.H.1101 or A.D.1690. The Musa Sohag's tomb and mosque are within the Kabristan which is very large known as Musa Su
hag's kabristan. There is legend-that Musa was a Faqir, generally known as Auliya or Saint, once, in answer to his prayers, rain was sent and a famine stayed. Then the people pressed after him so much that, to escape their notice, he dressed like a woman. At mosque there are five toms, four of them inside and one outside of the mosque enclosure. The story of these toms is that once the rains were too heavy and the king (or viceroy) went to the Holy man to ask him to pray to have the rain stopped. But fearing a fresh attack of popularity, Musa prayed that the ground might take him. His prayer was granted and when the king tried to dig him out, his head rose in another place, and again disappeared. Digging at this place the head disappeared in a new spot. And so it happened four times. But the Saint again appeared this time outside of the mosque enclosure and said he wanted no offerings. The five tombs mark the five places. In the mosque enclosure is a very old and large “champa” tree with many of twigs and branches hung with glass bracelets. Those anxious to have children come and offer the saint bangles, 7, 1, 13, 21, 29 or 126, according to their means and importunity. If the saint favours their wish, the “Champa” tree snatches up the bracelets and wears them on its arms. From Musa Suhag sprang an order of beggars who, like their master, dress in women’s clothes and wear nose-rings. Musa Suhag is also known as as Bangadia Pir (bangles saint)
Musa suhag Kabristan is one of the big Kabristans in Asia. Musa Suhag Kabristan, Masjid and Dargah are under administrative control of Ahmedabad Sunni Muslim Waqf Committee since 1920.
