تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.101.3

13.101.3

احدهما يعرف بطريق بابا والآخر بطريق ماما يعنون آدم وحواء عليهما السلام، فاما طريق ماما فطريق سهل، عليه يرجع الزوار اذا رجعوا ومن مضى عليه فهو عندهم كمن لم يزر وأما طريق بابا فصعب وعر المرتقى. وفي أسفل الجبل، حيث دروازته، مغارة تنسب أيضا لاسكندر وعين ماء.

one is known as the path of Bābā and the other as the path of Māmā, by which they mean Adam and Eve, peace be upon them. The path of Māmā is an easy path, by which the pilgrims return when they come back, and whoever goes up by it is regarded by them as one who has not made the pilgrimage. The path of Bābā is difficult and rugged to climb. At the foot of the mountain, where its gate is, there is a cave also attributed to Iskandar, and a spring.
