- J. Rattray (1848): The costumes of the various tribes …, Plate 28: “The lofty and spacious edifice which we pass on our left from the Charsoo to the citadel, with its polished cupolas, and ‘white walls shining in the sun’, forms a pleasing contrast with the wooden-framed houses of red unburnt clay. It is a mosque, sacred by reason of the enshrinement therein of the Prophet’s shirt.” Either at the time of the first Afghan War the mantle of the Prophet was placed in the masjed-e shah or Rattray mixed it up with the kherqa.
