She saw the lights on every Thursday night. It shone until sunrise. After a while, she thought that it might be the tomb of a divine hero. She decided to inform Amir Adud Al-Dawla. The Amir believed her and decided to go there on the first Thursday. The king went to the old woman's house and asked her to inform him as soon as she saw the light. Soon, the old woman saw the light and exclaimed three times, "King! Light!" The king saw the dawn and sent someone to investigate who was buried there.
