- "The tenth and eleventh Imams of the Shi'ite faith, Ali al-Hadi and his son Hasan al-Askari were buried in their house on Abi Ahmad Street, near the mosque of Caliph al-Muta'sim. The shrine centered on their tombs was first developed in 944-45 by Hamdanid ruler Nasir al-Dawla, and by the succeeding Buyid dynasty. The town of Samarra subsequently gained importance as a center of pilgrimage. This holy shrine has been rebuilt multiple times, including two major renovations in 1053-54 by military leader Arslan al-Basasiri and in 1209-10 by Abbasid Caliph Al-Nasir li-Din Allah, who is commemorated by an inscription in the sirdab of the adjoining shrine of twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi. In 1868-69, the shrine complex was renovated by Qajar ruler Nasir al-Din Shah." ["Samarra". The Encyclopedia of Islam. Leiden: E.J. Brill, VIII, p.1039-1041].
