Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Dayr al-Shaykh" in English language version.
A case in point is the abu al-Wafa' family, which founded no fewer than three Sufi centers in and around Jerusalem during the Mamluk period. The family was headed by Shaykh Badr al-Din abu al-Wafa' (d. 1253), a Sufi who was held in high esteem by his peers (qutb). Badr al-Din relocated his followers to Dayr al-Shaykh, a Christian village some twenty kilometers due west of Jerusalem. In time, the Christian residents were indeed ousted from the town (or converted to Islam).
