Al-Sahul
Al-Saḥūl is both a town and a wadi located between the city of Ibb and al-Makhadir District in Ibb Governorate, Yemen. It was known as Mikhlaf as-Saḥūl. Al-Sahul was called Miṣr al-Yaman because of its wealth on corn. It is famous for its white cotton clothes, the Saḥūlīyya or Saḥūlī. According to Hadith, the Islamic prophet Muhammad was "shrouded in three Saḥūlī white cotton garments none of which was a long shirt or turban." According to the British orientalist James Heyworth-Dunne, As-Saḥūl was known globally by its "exquisite striped cloaks".
The As-Saḥūl Valley is inhabited by Sharʿab tribe, Waḥaḍah tribe and clans of al-Kalaʿ.
Mikhlaf As-Saḥūl had other names like "Mikhlaf Ja'far" after Ja'far al-Manakhi, the founder of the Manakhis Emirate, and as Mikhlaf al-Kalaʿ.
