Barṣīṣā
Barsisa, (“the man of priestly regalia”, from Aramaic bar, "son", and ṣīṣa, "gold plate", referring specifically to the high priest's breastplate)[1] in Islamic mythology, was an ascetic who succumbed to the Devil's temptations and denied God. He had an enormous impact on the entire Muslim world, from Alexandria to Aleppo and Ḥaḍramawt.
