The ceiling of the mausoleum dome is covered by a dome that is carried on rows of muqarnas, which are bound in wood. The walls are surrounded by white writings on the blue ground from Poetic verses from Burdah al-Busairy. On the western end of the southwestern wall, there is a marble tombstone with an inscription in simple Kufic script dating back to the sixth century AH.
