For those keeping score at home I'm at 3 tombs of Abu Hurayra in Palestine and counting.
The Ottomans cut down a tree of Abu Hurayra and many in the area believed this is why they lost Gaza in WWI
(that, and that they demolished another sanctuary)

(Canaan, Mohammedan Saints and Sanctuaries)
Thanks to @matthewteller for pointing out there's a living Abu Hurayra there too. https://twitter.com/matthewteller/status/1282744937889529859
Anyway, I'm reminded of the popular ancient Greek saying about Pylos: "There is a Pylos before Pylos, and there is yet another Pylos"

Here, in Aristophanes, Knights 1058-9
and Strabo, Geography 8.3.7
