[6] The 14th-century author Hamdallah Mustawfi described Darjazin (as Darguzīn) as previously "merely a village of the A‘lam district" that had become "a provincial capital" by his lifetime.

[7] He wrote that it had good agricultural lands that produced grain, cotton, grapes, and other fruits.

[7] The Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi passed through Darjazin in 1654 and left a description of the town's layout, as well as its garrison and fort.

[6] By the time of Evliya's visit, Darjazin's population had become Shi'i; he described the Moharram mourning rites observed here.

[6] The shrine itself has a circular tower with a conical dome that reaches 12 m off the ground at its highest point.
