Al-Hannana Mosque: Difference between revisions

One incident, narrated to have taken place at the site of Hannana Mosque, is the sorrowful leaning of a pillar (or wall) when the coffin of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] passed by it at his funeral. [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] has reportedly said, "When the coffin of Imam 'Ali (a) was being carried through this place, this pillar leaned out of sorrow for his demise, like the leaning of Abraha's throne at the entry of [['Abd al-Muttalib]]."

The second incident is narrated to have happened after the [[event of Karbala]]. On the road from [[Karbala]] to [[Kufa]], the head of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] was put on the ground of the mosque. It is said that at this time, a sound was heard like the sound of a baby camel that had lost its mother. According to a [[hadith]], Imam al-Sadiq (a), when traveling between Kufa and [[Najaf]], would stop at that spot and pray. When asked about the reason, he would say, "They put the head of my grandfather Imam al-Husayn (a) here."
