Firuzshah Zarrin-Kolah (Persian: فیروزشاه زرین کلاه, lit.
In the pre-Safavid written work Safvat as-safa, whose oldest extant manuscripts date to 1485 and 1491, the origin of the Safavid dynasty is traced to Firuzshah Zarin Kollah, who is called a Kurd from Sanjār, while in the post-Safavid manuscripts, this portion "Kurd from Sanjār" has been excised.
[1] After the establishment of Safavid rule, official genealogies traced the lineage of Firuz Shah Zarrin-Kolah to the seventh of the Twelver Imams, Musa al-Kazim.
In the Silsilat-an-Nasab-i Safaviya, composed during the reign of Suleiman I (1667–1694) and written by Shah Hussab ibn Abdal Zahidi, the ancestry of the Safavid is traced back to Ali.
[4] The origins of the family of Safi-al-Din go back not to Hijaz but to Kurdistan, from where, seven generations before him, Firuz Shah Zarrin-kulah had migrated to Azerbaijan.
