Angelo Pesce mentions this site in his book on Jeddah. He mentions the earliest documented mention of the tomb is:
in Hamdani (10th century) who states 'It has been related that Adam was in Mine when he felt a yearning to see Eve ... that Eve had come from Juddah, and that he knew her on Arafat.The first one to speak of Eves sepulchre as being located in Jiddah is Idrisi (mid-12th century): however, Ibn Jubayr (late 12th century), writing from direct experience (unlike Idrisi, he went to Jiddah for the pilgrimage) state that in Jiddah 'is a place having an ancient and lofty dome, which is said to have been the lodging place of Even ... when on her way to Mecca...Ibn Al-Mujawir (13th century) makes a clear reference to the Tomb of Eve in Jiddah, and so does Ibn Khallikan (13th century). Ibn Battutah (14th century) ignores the matter altogether. historians like Tabari, Masudi, and others state that, according to tradition, Eve is buried in Jiddah, but fail to give any detail of her tomb.
