Sang - is a town belonging to Pop District, Namangan Region, Republic of Uzbekistan. The Syrdarya flows through this area. In addition, a part of the Great Silk Road passed through this place in ancient times. According to historical sources, Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur gave the name Sang (Zang, zarang, i.e. "Stone") to this area..

Sang - the village has been called "Sang with a thousand houses" since ancient times. There are several legends related to the name of the village of Sang. The first was a fierce battle between the army led by Muhammad Jarir's grandson Shah Fazil, who entered the Fergana valley in 715, and the local population. Those who died in this battle were buried in "Langar Aziz Buwa" cemetery in Sang. The place where the current bathhouse is located in Sang was originally a martyr's cemetery.During the digging of the graves of Shaykhulislam Khoja Abdullah Ansari and Khoja Ibadullah Alamdari who died in the battle, the hardness of the ground became known. That's why they called this place "hard as a rock". According to the second narration, the son-in-law Muhammed Jarir and his mother Bibi Ubayda, while passing through this village, drew water from the villagers. It was said that the spirit of the village, which did not give water to the river, was "harder than stone". The Arabs called this place "Zang". There is also a type of dance that is played with bells tied to the waist with bells. The word "Zangula" means "bell" in Persian. The word "rust" also means brown soil, rich, hard, big stone. The location of the village is surrounded by streams such as Sirdarya, Govasoy, and Rezaksoy, and the village is surrounded by rivers and streams, and the village is like an autumn stone poured into it. The Arabs have the meaning of "stone" as a measure of distance. The village of Sang is also mentioned in "Boburnoma".

According to legends, the brothers Khwaja Abdullah Ansari and Khwaja Ibadullah Alamdari came from Arabia and were engaged in promoting Islam in the region at the end of the 7th and the beginning of the 8th century. The grave of the brothers of saints dates back to 714. Formed as a pilgrimage site over the centuries, it has been transformed into two separate mausoleums. Khwaja Abdullah Ansari received the status of Shaykhulislam in his time. This place is known as the shrine of Father Langar in the local language. In 1937, when the struggle against religion intensified, the mausoleum was destroyed. In 1967, it was restored by the residents. At the moment, the mausoleum is in need of repair. This means that district officials and leaders of the sector are not paying attention. Batirjon Nurmatov, one of the veterans of the neighborhood, said that ancient manuscripts found in the shrine of Langar father, passed down to him from his ancestors, have been preserved.
