    The Dala’il al-khayrat, by the Moroccan Sufi al-Jazuli (d 1465 or later), is a prayer book that was popular throughout the Muslim world. It includes an introduction with hadith on the benefits of prayers and faith; a list of the 201 names of the Prophet Muhammad and their spiritual properties; a description of the tombs of the Prophet and the caliphs Abu Bakr and ‘Umar at Medina; and prayers for the days of the week.
 Many Ottoman and Indian copies show the Masjid al-Haram at Mecca and the Mosque of the Prophet at Medina, although there is no reference to them in the text.
