Maqam Ra's al-Husayn (a): Difference between revisions

There is nothing in [[Sunni]] sources regarding whether Imam al-Husayn's (a) head is buried in [[Kufa]] or [[Najaf]], and there is no commonly accepted view among Shiites to the effect that his head is buried in one of these two places. There are, however, [[hadith]]s implying that Imam al-Husayn's (a) head is in [[Holy Shrine of Imam 'Ali (a)|Imam 'Ali's (a) Holy Shrine]]. There are other hadiths confirming such a story. However, there are problems with these hadiths that made them hard to be accepted by Shiite scholars.

There is a place inside [[Masjid al-Hannana]] well-known as the place where Imam al-Husayn's (a) head put there. It is said his head put there when heads of [[Martyrs of Karbala]] were taking from Karbala to Kufa.
