During the caliphate of al-Ta'i' b. al-Muti' al-'Abbasi, [['Adud al-Dawla al-Daylami]] took over the power in [[Baghdad]]. In [[Jumada I]], 371/981, he ordered the reconstruction of the shrine of Imam al-Husayn (a). In addition to the reconstruction of the building, 'Adud al-Dawla also decorated the place and built porches around the shrine. He decorated the [[darih]] with teak and precious cloth, with a wooden cover. He also donated some candlesticks to the shrine. This led to the flourishing and development of [[Karbala]] in matters religious, social, and commercial.

In 369/979, [[Mu'izz al-Dawla al-Daylami]] assigned 'Imran b. Shahin with the governance of Batih, near [[Wasit]], where 'Imran began to build a porch later known after the name of Sayyid Ibrahim al-Mujab. The mosque he built near the porch remained intact until the [[Safavid]] period. In this period, according to a [[fatwa]] permitting the attachment of mosques to the shrine of Imam al-Husayn (a), it was included within the developed building of the shrine. Parts of this mosque are still included in the shrine as storage for the shrine's carpets. It is located behind the porch known as the Nasiri Porch.
