Overview
Masharif is a village in the land of al-Balqa in al-Sham. It was the first place where the army of the Muslims met the army of Heraclius and the Arab allies in the Battle of Mu'ta, before the Muslims withdrew to the village of Mu'ta. 1
No definite site is known for it, so it has no coordinates in the museum.
