said: “The grave of al‐Husayn is in Shiraz. It has been mentioned by Shaykh al‐Islam Shahab al‐Din
in his historical book entitled Shiraz Nama. The summary of what he has mentioned is as follows:
‘Qattlagh was a governor over Shiraz. He had a garden where the Shrine of the mentioned Sayyid
was. The doorkeeper of that garden was among the men of religion and generosity. On Friday
nights he saw a light coming out of a hill in that garden. He told Qattlagh about that. The latter
saw what the former had seen. When he asked about that place and discovered it, he came to
know that it was a grave in which was a great body with perfect greatness, majesty, freshness,
and beauty. There was a copy of the Qur’an in one of his hands, and in the another was a drawn
sword. Through the signs and comparisons, they came to know that the grave belonged to al‐
Husayn b. Musa. So he built for it a dome and a corridor. Apparently, this Qattlagh Khan is other
than the one who fought against his brother Sayyid Ahmed. It is possible that the garden belonged
to him; and the governor who ordered his shrine was someone other than him.
For Qattlagh is a nickname of a group (of people) such as Abu Bakr b. Sa‘d al‐Zunki.’ He has also
said: “Some of them wrote that al‐Sayyid ‘Ala’ al‐Din Husayn went to that garden, and they came
to know that he belonged to the Banu Hashim, so they killed him in that garden. After a period of
time, when the traces of the garden disappeared and nothing of it remained except a high hill,
they recognized his grave through the mentioned signs. That was during the reign of the Safawi
State. A man called ‘Ali Mirza left Medina and lived in Shiraz. He was rich, so he built a high dome
over him and endowed properties and gardens for him. When he died, he was buried beside the
Shrine. Then the endowments were in the hand of his son Mirza Nizam al‐Mulk, a minister in that
state, and then after him they were in the hands of his grandsons. Shah Isma‘il al‐Safawi ordered
Sultan Khalil, the governor of Shiraz, repaired the Shrine and enlarged its previous building in the
year 810 A. H.’”[1]

His Kunya was Abu al‐Qasim. His mother was a slave‐wife. He was knowledgeable, meritorious,
perfect, solemn, great, with a sublime position and high rank, and respected by the Shi‘a (khassa)
and non‐Shi‘a (‘amma). He traveled along with his brother Imam ‘Ali al‐Rida, peace be on him, to
Khuresan. He devoted himself to serving him, did his best to achieve his objectives, sought his
good pleasure, and obeyed his orders. When he arrived in Su Sa‘d, a village in Tirtisber, some
followers of al‐Ma’mun attacked and killed him. His grave is in Bustan (garden). He had two boys;
