Analysis of Reports about the Burial of Imamzadeh Hosein ibn Musain Shiraz

From the first centuries AH, Iran has been the destination of a large number of Imamzadegan [offspring or descendants of an imam] and there are many courts in different parts of the land that are attributed to them. Among them, there are imamzadegan to whom more than one court is attributed; among them is Imamzadeh Hoseim ibn Musa ibn Jaʿfar, the brother of Imam Riḍā (as) who, according to some sources, had left for Iran with a group of Sādāt [descendants of an imam] and his another brother, Ahmad, following his brother's guardianship. Among the various sites attributed to him, the two views on his burial in Tabas and Shiraz are more famous. The purpose of this study is to analyze and review the narrations related to the burial of this imamzadeh in Shiraz and in this way, a descriptive-analytical method has been used. Considering that the existing reports go back to the later sources, ie the 14th-14th lunar centuries, and on the other hand, the numerous problems that are observed in them, it is a mistake to consider Hosein ibn Musa among Ahmad ibn Musa's companions and the city of Shiraz as his burial place.
