[[Muhammad taqi al-Majlisi]] wrote in his autobiography that the buried person in the [[cemetery of Bagh Behshet]], [[Qom]] is 'Ali b.

===The Mausoleum and Mosque of 'Ali b. Ja'far in Medina===
[[Muhaddith Nuri]] believes that the burial of 'Ali b. Ja'far in [[Qom]] is very improbable; because, firstly: there is no report about this in [['Ilm al-Rijal]] sources, secondly: narrator of Qom, who would travel to narrate [[hadith]]s, did not narrate any hadiths from him, and thirdly about 100 of Sayyids and [[Imamzadis]] (Imams' descendants) who travelled to Qom have been listed in the book ''Tarikh Qom'' but there is no indication about  'Ali b. Ja'far or his travel to Qom in the book. Consequently, he ([[Muhaddith Nuri|Sahib Mustadrak al-wasa'il]]) believes that 'Ali b. Ja'far was buried in [['Urayd]] located about one [[farsakh]] away from [[Medina]]. Nowadays there are a mausoleum and a mosque by his name.
