Assalaamu 'Alaykum

I have come across some articles regarding an exhibition by a Saudi photographer on the "The Guardians" who are said to be the keepers of the keys to the Prophetic Chamber and Minbar (saw) .

Does anyone have any background on this? It is the first time I have heard about these "Guardians"...

From the link

Quote:

Since the Ottoman Empire, the keys to this holy site and the mosque’s minbar have been kept by a group of eunuchs originally from Abyssinia, known as the Guardians

Really?

This is the most I have on it, but from the video one of the photos made it seem to be fake somewhat.

The photo in the video is obviously fake and no one is allowed to go inside at all, although they can go behind the gates.

Allahu Alum.

See thread "Secrets Under the Green Dome" in addition to the link above which is actually part two but contains videos therefore not on forum.

There is a book which mentions these eunuchs too, however I still find this rather baffling.

Obviously this book and it details are very very sketchy and baseless. However, these people being eunuchs is still a bit of a surprise. Wallahu Alum.

Some of the things written in here are strange for laypeople like me, but then again, it is pretty normal for people of kashf I guess.
Strange things written in this book :(
