Uways b. Hasan al-Jalayiri renewed the mosque and the shrine in 767/1365 and built a semicircular dome over the [[darih]]. The dome rested on four porches on the four sides of Imam al-Husayn's (a) grave, and the exterior sides of each porch constituted a porch of the shrine. A large dome was built on these four porches, constituting a novel geometrical shape. The building was later completed by one of Uways's sons, Ahmad, in 786/1384. It was built in such a way that one could see the whole shrine and the mausoleum and the darih if they stood outside towards [[qibla]]. Moreover, pilgrims could walk around the darih. | Uways b.

Ahmad al-Jalayiri built the portico opposite the courtyard, known as the Golden Portico, and the mosque of the courtyard, which is square-shaped around the shrine. He also decorated the porches and the internal building of the shrine with mirrors, inlays, and [[Kashan]]'s tiles with portraits of natural sceneries. At Ahmad al-Jalayiri's command, the two minarets of the shrine were also decorated by yellow bricks of Kashan.<ref>Āl Ṭuʿma, ''Karbalā wa ḥaram-hā-yi muṭahhar'', p. 104-106.</ref> | Ahmad al-Jalayiri built the portico opposite the courtyard, known as the Golden Portico, and the mosque of the courtyard, which is square-shaped around the shrine.
