Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine
The Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine is a Shia religious complex located in Rey, in the province of Tehran, Iran. The complex contains the tomb of Abd al-Azim al-Hasani, a descendant of the second Shia Imam Hasan. Al-Najashi reported that when he died and his body was prepared for washing, a note was found in his pocket containing his genealogy, which read: “I am Abu al-Qasim Abd al-Azim ibn Abd Allah ibn Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Zayd ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib.” He was entombed here after his death in the 9th century CE.
