The cave where prophet Eyyüb suffered his illness and the well which he used its water for cure is both in the Eyyüb quarter of the city. Eyyüb’s suffering in this cave lasted 7 years.

It was in 460 AD that Bishop Nona found out about the curing property of the pit of Job for those having leprosy and people with leprosy recovered their health after having been washed with the water of this pit.

The place carved into rocks to the east of the well known as “hamam” suggests that it was once a healing centre.

The miraculous handkerchief sent by Jesus Christ to the King of Urfa was stolen by a thief and thrown into Eyyüb’s well. The event was conveyed to İmadeddin Zengi, the commander of Muslims capturing Urfa in 1145, by Basil Bar Şumana, the head of the Syriac Church as follows: "One of the visitors in Urfa steals Jesus Christ’s handkerchief and puts it in his pocket. While he is staying in Kosmas monastery at night, the handkerchief starts to shine very brightly. Afraid of getting burned, the thief throws it to the well of prophet Eyyüb, after which a bright light ascends from the well illuminating the surroundings. So the handkerchief is found and returned to its place in the monastery.” Local people repeat this story for wells in Grand Mosque too.
