A. H.[1] The famous explorer Abu ‘Abd Allah al‐Tanji, better known as Ibn Batuta, talked about his
visiting the Holy Shrine and about the honoring of the Iranian people to that Sacred Shrine. He has
said under the title Mentioning the Holy Shrines in Shiraz: “Among them is the Shrine of Ahmed b.
Musa, brother of al‐Rida ‘Ali b. Musa b. Ja‘far b. Muhammed b. ‘Ali b. al‐Husayn b. ‘Ali b. Abi Talib,
may Allah be pleased with them. The people of Shiraz regard it as a great shrine. They ask the
blessing of it and supplicate Allah through its excellence. Lady Tashi, mother of Sultan Abu Ishaq,
ordered a large school to be built beside it.
There is in it a corner in which is food for visitors. The reciters of the Qur’an always recite the
Qur’an. Among the habits of Lady Tashi was that she visited this Shrine every Monday night. On
that night, the judges, the jurists, and the noble came together. Shiraz is the greatest of Allah’s
earth in having noble people. I have heard from the trustworthy that the number of the noble
who have high ranks wherein is one thousand, four hundred, and some. Their head is ‘Azd al‐Din
al‐Husayni. When the people are present in the Blessed Shrine, they recite and finish the Qur’an.
The reciters recites (the Qur’an) with sweet voices. Food, fruits, and candy are brought. When the
people have finished eating, a preacher preaches to them. That is after the noon prayer until
dinner. The Lady is in a room with a window towering over the Mosque. Then drums are beaten,
and trumpets are blown at the gate of the Shrine just as this is done at the gates of the kings.”[2]
With this subject matter we will end our talk about the biography of this great Sayyid.

numbered him among the companions of Imam al‐Rida, peace be on him.[5] In his al‐Kafi, al‐
Kulayni has narrated a tradition narrated by Ishaq on the authority of his uncle and on the
authority of his grandfather Imam al‐Sadiq, peace be on him. Ishaq had daughters of whom was
