Al-Hajari records a debate in which al-Fur figures as the habitat of al-Zunuj.

 

 

Note: the land or island of Fur here mentioned is by other authors part of India or an island close to India. And of which the inhabitants are black. As it is mostly mentioned in epic stories, it might not be a real entity.
