Lonely Planet review for Chashma Ayub 'mausoleum'
Nearby Ismail Samani Mausoleum in Samani Park, is the peculiar Chashma Ayub 'mausoleum', built from the 12th to 16th centuries over a spring. The name means 'Spring of Job'; legend says Job struck his staff on the ground here and a spring appeared. Inside you can drink from the spring. It is now, sadly, overshadowed by a glistening new glass-walled memorial to Imam Ismail al-Bukhari next door.
