The design of the "Al Tabataba" scene is exclusive, because it follows the fashion of intersecting galleries. The owner made bound to resemble the scene of the seventy-seven crowns within the Aswan governorate, therefore the scene came in an irregular rectangle, 30 meters long and 20 meters wide. The southern end of the building has two domes, the doorway to the scene is found within the northeastern a part of the wall, and to the left of the doorway there's a contemporary building of a square-shaped room containing a well that was fed by water, that room is roofed with a dome, and connected to the space could be a rectangular building consisting of six small rooms, some square and also the other Rectangular, the square ones are covered with intersecting vaults and domes, and also the rectangular ones are covered with vaults.

Abu Ishaq Ibrahim was known by the title “Tabataba” because he wont to pronounce the word “Qāf Tاءa” thanks to the gap in his tongue. They loved it and settled in it, and that they were recommended to remain in it after leaving, and that they were people of asceticism, knowledge and faith, the people of Egypt loved them, and that they were near them in their lives and their deaths, and that they visited their honorable shrines more often, for they were serving the requirements of individuals, and interceding with the rulers to get rid of injustice from the oppressed, and it included Ahmed Ibn Tulun Al Tabataba sponsored him, also as Kafur Al-Ikhshidi, who swore to not request any of them.

Sharif Ibrahim Tabataba didn't die in Egypt. Rather, those that were buried during this scene are his descendants and his brother’s offspring, and a bunch of the many scholars, righteous and piety from outside the Tabataba family, headed by Sharif Ali bin al-Hassan bin Ibrahim Tabataba, who died in 868 AD, and Imam Ahmad Bin Ali bin Al-Hassan bin Tabataba, who died within the year 325 AH, was one among the poets of his time, Ahmed bin Tabataba, and he had a detailed relationship with Camphor Al-Ikhshidi, and Abdullah was referred to as "His Sovereignty," and he died in 959 AD.

The Tomb of the Tabataba, or the “scene of doctors,” because it is understood to the people of the region, had a well of water that heals the sick, and there's a well-liked story circulating about the shrine that it absolutely was a burial of seven famous doctors who lived within the time of Imam al-Shafi’i, and it's also said that it's the oldest hospital He was enriched in Egypt.
