Masjid Hannana

This mosque is between Kufa and Najaf. The significance of this mosque is that when Imam Hasan [a.s.] and Imam Husain [a.s.] were carrying the janaza of Imam Ali [a.s.] from Kufa to Najaf, they passed near this mosque, and as they were passing, the pillars of the mosque inclined towards Imam Ali [a.s] as if paying its last respects. It is also believed that some of the skin from Imam Husain [a.s.]'s head (that came off when Khul Mal'un was disrespecting the head of Imam Husain [a.s.] with a knife) is buried here.
