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."<ref>al-Shaykh al-Tusi, ''Amali'', p. 682; 'Allama al-Majlisi, ''Bihar al-anwar'', vol. 97, p. 454</ref>

== The Name of the Mosque ==
== The Name of the Mosque ==


It is said that this mosque was named Hannana (weeper/mourner) because of the above-mentioned weeping of a pillar at its site. The weeping of the ground of the mosque, when the heads of the [[martyrs of Karbala]] were placed on it, is mentioned as an alternative explanation for the name. Some have said that the name is driven from "Hanna," the name of an old Christian monastery there.<ref>Zamani, ''Siyri dar sarzamin khairiha'', p. 436</ref>
