Introduction
This is the principal shrine record for the grave traditionally attributed to Narjis Khatun, Peace Be Upon Her, within the al-Askari Shrine in Samarra. She is remembered in Twelver Imami tradition as the wife of Imam Hasan al-Askari, Peace Be Upon Him, and the mother of Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi, Peace Be Upon Him. The grave is part of the historic household burial complex, but the details of her origin and death require more caution than the location of the two Imams' graves.
The sources preserve several names for her, including Narjis, Susan, Rayhana, and Sayqal. These may reflect personal names, honorifics, or different narrative strands. Later accounts give an elaborate story connecting her with a Byzantine royal family and with Simon, the disciple of Jesus, Peace Be Upon Him. That account is important in devotional biography, but its detailed genealogy is not independently confirmed by early non-devotional sources and should not be presented as uncontested history.
Imami reports describe her entry into the household of Imam Ali al-Hadi, Peace Be Upon Him, and her education under Hakima Khatun, Peace Be Upon Her. Hakima is portrayed as a trusted aunt and transmitter who taught her religious duties and later witnessed events within the family. The core historical point is that Narjis belonged to the closely protected household of Imam Hasan al-Askari in Samarra during a period of intense Abbasid attention.
Her greatest significance in Imami belief is motherhood of Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi, Peace Be Upon Him. Reports in Kamal al-Din and later works narrate that the birth occurred in Samarra in 255 AH and that Hakima Khatun was present. The account emphasizes secrecy, trusted family testimony, and the fear that Abbasid authorities might search for an heir. These details belong to the Imami narrative tradition and should be attributed as such rather than expressed as neutral political documentation accepted by every historical school.
After the death of Imam Hasan al-Askari in 260 AH, the household came under investigation and inheritance disputes arose. Imami sources remember Narjis as part of the protected family context in which knowledge of the child was concealed from hostile authorities. The exact sequence of her later life is not uniform across reports, and the date of her death is not securely established. Some shrine traditions place her death close to 260 AH, while other narratives imply that she lived longer.
Her grave is traditionally located within the chamber of the al-Askari Shrine, close to the graves of Imam Ali al-Hadi and Imam Hasan al-Askari, Peace Be Upon Them, and near the grave attributed to Hakima Khatun. Academic studies of the shrine's architecture and burial arrangement also record Narjis among the four principal burials preserved within the historic house. This supports the shrine identity, while exact early architectural details remain dependent on later reconstruction histories.
The shrine suffered the same destruction that struck the complex in 2006 and 2007. Its reconstruction restored not only the graves of the two Imams but also the memory of women whose roles were central to the household. Narjis Khatun's record therefore belongs to the history of the whole sanctuary rather than to an isolated tomb.
For visitors, her life highlights modesty, family trust, motherhood, and the quiet work of protecting a vulnerable household under political pressure. A responsible article honours her place in Imami faith, preserves the grave tradition, and states clearly where the evidence is devotional, where it is architectural, and where the historical details remain debated.

Historical / Religious Importance
Narjis Khatun's grave is historically important because it preserves the female and domestic dimension of the al-Askari household. The shrine is not only the burial place of two Imams; it is also a family complex whose memory depends upon women who transmitted, protected, and interpreted events inside the house.
Her record is especially important for explaining the Twelver Imami narrative of the birth of Imam al-Mahdi. At the same time, careful distinction between established burial tradition, Imami devotional reports, and disputed genealogy prevents the article from turning belief into unsupported universal history.
The reconstruction of the al-Askari Shrine restored her grave together with the wider sanctuary. Her presence in the complex therefore links women's religious memory with the modern protection of Iraq's damaged heritage.
