The Sidi Shibl al-Aswad Mosque is a mosque and mausoleum in the city of Shuhada, Monufia Governorate, Egypt, on Abou Al Nour Street. It is named after Muhammad ibn al-Fadl, a Tabi'i whom local people call Sidi Shibl. The building stands over a tomb attributed to Muhammad ibn al-Fadl ibn al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib. The Arabic Wikipedia notes, however, that works of genealogy and history record no son for al-Fadl ibn al-Abbas, so the attribution of the tomb is disputed. A mawlid celebration is held at the mosque every year in his honour; according to local tradition, it commemorates his martyrdom at the hands of the Byzantines.
