Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine

Iran

The Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine is a Shia religious complex located in Rey, in the province of Tehran, Iran. The complex contains the tomb of Abd al-Azim al-Hasani, a descendant of the second Shia Imam Hasan. Al-Najashi reported that when he died and his body was prepared for washing, a note was found in his pocket containing his genealogy, which read: “I am Abu al-Qasim Abd al-Azim ibn Abd Allah ibn Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Zayd ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib.” He was entombed here after his death in the 9th century CE. Adjacent to the shrine within the complex, are the mausoleums Tahir (a son of the fourth Shia Imam Sajjad) and Hamzeh (a brother of the eighth Shia Imam Reza). The complex was added to the Iran National Heritage List in 1942, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran. The complex is a holy site in Shia Islam.
