"...But what is really strange is that there is a family like the Family of the Noble Fulaita who say that they are the descendants of Husain the son of Fulaita the son of the ruler of Mecca (a descendant of Ali ibn Abi Taalib) who died in 527 A.H. And from that time (since nine centuries ago) they still live in Mecca in Wadi Fatima. In other words, they never at any time immigrated to Africa, for example, and returned to Mecca. No. On the contrary, they are people of the Haram (Sacred Land), people of Wadi Fatima, Mecca from that time until now. And the strange thing is that the Noble Fulaita are the only tribe in the Hijaz that all members of the tribe have the physical characteristics of a tribe coming from the center of Africa. All of the members of this tribe have black skin, wide noses, and thick lips except for a minority of them and even the minority of them who don't, you will find that they too have an appearance close to an African appearance, differing from the appearance of the other Ashraaf (descendants of the Prophet (SAWS)) of the Hijaz." ‫لكن ماھو مستغرب حقيقة أن تكون ھناك أسرة مثل سادة فليتة وھم الذين‬ ‫يقولون بأنھم أبناء حسين بن فليتة ابن حاكم مكة الذي توفي 725 ھـ وأنھم‬ ‫من ذلك التاريخ )منذ تسعة قرون( وھم مازالوا يسكنون مكة ووادي فاطمة‬ .‫أي أنھم لم يھاجروا في وقت من األوقات إلى أفريقيا مثال ثم قدموا بعد ذلك‬ ‫ال وإنما ھم أھل الحرم أھل مكة ووادي فاطمة منذ ذلك الزمان الى وقتنا‬
