Drought set in, and crops, animals, and people perished. Dying of thirst, the inhabitants of the neighboring settlements came by the Prophet for help, and he listened to their pleas. He struck the ground with his staff and at once hit upon a life-giving spring of water. At first a mausoleum with conical cupola was erected over the spring, later in the 14th century, two new buildings were added to it, and in the 16th century the fourth and final building was completed.
            All the buildings of the mausoleum are covered with cupolas of various forms. The mausoleum of Chashma Aiub is distinguished by its modesty of decoration and simplicity of forms.
