    This place had a lot of khajoori trees. When Maulana Ali AS janaza mubaraka passed through this place all the trees bowed in respect. Imam Husain AS raas mubarak was kept at this place for one night. All the khajoori trees cried in the sorrow of Imam Husain AS. A shrine has been made in this place.

    The Al-Hannanah Mosque (Arabic: مَـسـجـد الـحَـنّـانـة, romanized: Masjid al-Ḥannānah) is a Shi'ite mosque in Iraq. This mosque is also called Masjid ar-Ra's (Arabic: مَـسـجـد الـرّأس, Mosque of the Head (of Husayn ibn Ali)), because according to a narration attributed to Ja'far al-Sadiq, the head of his ancestor Husayn was kept in its middle, when being brought to his ‘aduww (Arabic: عَـدُوّ, opponent) Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad. Jaafar Mahbouba believes that this mosque was built along with Imam Ali Mosque. Al-Buraqi believed that this mosque was built by order of Abbas I of Persia, and that because of this, he was known amongst the people of Najaf. According to Mohammad Hirz Eddin and Mirza Hadi el-Khurasani, Ghazan ibn Hulagu Khan ordered the building of this mosque as the mosque of Husayn's head. According to a narration of Ja'far al-Sadiq, after Ali ibn Abi Talib died, his sons Hasan and Husayn carried his body from Kufa to Najaf. As they were passing, the pillars of the mosque inclined towards the body. The name Al-Hannanah means "to cry twice." This refers to two events. First, when Ali Ibn Abi Talib's burial shroud was brought to the Mosque, and then when the head of his son, Husayn, was brought through the Mosque.
