Tomb of Wais-e Nāzār

The Tomb of Wais-e Nāzār (Persian: آرامگاه ویس نازار) is a historical mausoleum in Kermanshah, Iran.

[1] The deceased person entombed in the mausoleum is traditionally attributed to be Owais al-Qarani, one of the Tabi'een who died in the Battle of Siffin.

[2] The geographer, Hamdallah Mustawfi, writes that the grave of Owais al-Qarani was located near Kermanshah after he died in the Battle of Siffin.

[2] But due to Owais also having a tomb attributed to him in Raqqa, Syria within the grounds of the now-destroyed Uwais al-Qarni Mosque, the identity of the entombed here is contested.

[1][2] An alternative theory suggests that the mausoleum was built for one of the mystics of the Uwaisi Sufi order, who had a very similar name.
