كربلاء

In Jumada I 400 construction began on a strong wall around the shrine at al-Ha'ir in Karbala. Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn al-Fadl ibn Sahlan had visited the shrine and vowed to build a stout wall protecting it against the many Bedouin raiders who came to the site. He fulfilled his vow: the wall was built, made firm, raised high and widened, and strong doors, some of iron, were set into it, so the shrine was fortified and the effect was good ¹. The construction is also credited, under the year 403 in the biography of al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl ibn Sahlan, vizier of Sultan al-Dawla, to him; he was of the same house as Ibn Sahlan ².
