The cemetery is enclosed by a two-meter-high two-tiered fence of well-hewn stones, apparently rebuilt several times.

The cemetery consists of two rectangles adjacent to each other with long sides with large and small compartments.

Inside the large compartment there is a small rectangular structure 185 centimeters (72.8346 in.)

[4] According to medieval Arabic sources and the local historical chronicle "Derbent-name",[5] this burial is associated with the first campaign of the Muslims in the Caucasus led by the sahaba (companion) Salman ibn Rabiah al-Bahili.

During the further advance into the Western Turkic Khaganate, part of the Arab army was killed in the battle, and among them 40 companions of the Prophet Muhammad.
