March 983 CE

'Adud al-Dawla dies in 983 and is buried in Najaf, where, in 977, he had built the first shrine over the tomb of ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib, the cousin of Muhammad, the fourth caliph (Sunni belief), the first Imam (Shia belief), in Najaf in 977.

The Imām ‘Alī Holy Shrine, also known as Masjid Ali or the Mosque of ‘Alī, is today the third holiest site for some of the estimated two hundred million followers of the Shia branch of Islam.

According to Shi'a belief, buried next to Ali within this mosque are the remains of Adam and Noah.
