The Sait Vakkas Mausoleum, located northeast of the village of Ziyaret, stands on a hill overlooking the Araban Plain. The structure, which has a rectangular floor plan, is built of neatly cut stones. Above the door lintel, there are decorations featuring a row of protruding teeth and corner motifs in the form of tongues. To the right of the small, flat-arched door is a niche. In front of the niche are two recesses carved into the bedrock; the local people refer to this recess as the “ağ stone.” On the eastern and western facades, there is one square-shaped window on each side that tapers from the inside out. The interior of the structure is finished with Baghdadi plaster. On the north and south sides, there are columns in the form of mihtap and paye. The dome is connected to the structure by corner bands.
Although believed to belong to a Companion of the Prophet, this mausoleum is not the grave of Sa’d ibn Abu Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him). It is merely a shrine built to commemorate the Companion and to imbue the area with sanctity. The tomb consists of a marble sarcophagus and a lid. There is a story widely told among the people regarding the mausoleum: Sa’d bin Abu Waqqas was the commander of the soldiers of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was martyred in the battle fought on the road to Araban. The Judge of Saçaklı saw Sa’d ibn Abu Waqqas in a dream, and the Prophet told him, “I am at the foot of the white stone.” Upon this, the Judge of Saçaklı had the mausoleum built in 1850. According to local tradition, visitors tie pieces of cloth to the trees next to the mausoleum to make wishes.
During its restoration by Sıdık Yıldız in 1998, a mosque, a guesthouse, and a place for sacrificing animals were built 30 meters southwest of the mausoleum. The village cemetery is located to the northwest of the mausoleum. The cemetery contains tombs with high sarcophagi and gravestones made of cut stone.
