Isma'il's mausoleum was destroyed by Wahhabis among other tomes and graves in al-Baqi'. In 1394/1974, when the street on the west side of al-Baqi' was rebuilt, the area around Isma'il's grave was destroyed and Isma'il's body allegedly appeared intact.<ref>Najmī, ''Tārīkh-i ḥaram-i aʾimma-yi baqīʿ'', p. 290.</ref> Then, it is reported, his body was transferred by the efforts of Isma'ili leaders to a place inside al-Baqi'.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 348.</ref>
