Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine

The Shāh Abdol-Azīm Shrine (Persian: شاه عبدالعظیم), also known as Shabdolazim,[1][2][3] located in Rey, Iran, contains the tomb of ‘Abdul ‘Adhīm ibn ‘Abdillāh al-Hasanī[4] (aka Shah Abdol Azim).

Shah Abdol Azim was a fifth generation descendant of Hasan ibn ‘Alī[4] and a companion of Muhammad al-Taqī.

Adjacent to the shrine, within the complex, include the mausolea of Imamzadeh Tahir (son of the fourth Shia Imam Sajjad) and Imamzadeh Hamzeh (brother of the eighth Twelver Imām - Imām Reza).

[4] Shah Abdol Azim was sent to Ray (modern-day Tehran) by Imam Reza.

Ibn Qūlawayh al-Qummī (d. 978 CE) "includes the shrine in his Kāmil al-Ziyārāt, one of the earliest pilgrimage guides for the Shiʿa, which suggests that the tomb of ʿAbd al-Aẓīm was already of some importance by the tenth century.
