* About 40 years after the event, following the efforts of the Shi'a of [[Iraq]] led by [[Shaykh Kashif al-Ghita']] and the follow-ups of Amir A'lam, the ambassador of Iran in Hijaz, Saudi government built a sunshade beside these graves and laid a stone-tiled way near these graves for going and coming of people in Baqi'.
