Introduction
The shrine of Sayyid Muhammad bin al-Hamza, May Allah Have Mercy On Him, belongs to the wider devotional landscape of Karbala and its surrounding Sayyid shrines. Modern Iraqi shrine material remembers him as Sayyid Muhammad bin al-Hamza, Abu Hashim, and sometimes Ibn al-Hamza. The site is approached as a shrine connected with a revered descendant of the family of al-Abbas bin Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, Peace Be Upon Them.
Modern Iraqi shrine descriptions connect his lineage to Muhammad bin al-Hamza bin al-Hasan bin Ubayd Allah bin al-Abbas bin Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, Peace Be Upon Him. This attribution places the shrine within the memory of the Abbasid branch of the Alid family. The chain is presented here as a modern shrine attribution, not as an independently verified genealogical certainty for every link.
Some modern materials give 210 AH for his birth and 286 AH for his death. These dates place him within an Abbasid-era environment in which Alid families, their movements, and their local settlement patterns were shaped by both devotion and political pressure. The shrine therefore preserves not only a family attribution but also a memory of Alid presence beyond the central shrines of Karbala.
The title Abu Hashim is also attached to him in local material. Other popular honorifics appear in some Iraqi reports, suggesting public memory of bravery, protection, and Sayyid dignity. Such titles should be read as part of local devotional memory unless independently confirmed by older biographical sources.
A second opinion in modern shrine material suggests that the identification may point to Muhammad bin Ali bin Hamza, known as Ibn al-Hamza or Imad al-Din, a learned figure associated with a later period. This is why the entry avoids presenting a single unqualified identification where the available material preserves more than one possibility.
The Karbala Heritage Center identifies the present shrine in al-Hindiya District, about twenty kilometres east of central Karbala, and records major modern development after the site was attached to the General Secretariat of the Shia Shrines in 2007. This information supports the present shrine identity and recent building history, but it does not by itself prove every link in the proposed genealogy.
The safest wording is to describe the personality as a Sayyid locally attributed to the descendants of al-Abbas, Peace Be Upon Him, while noting that the complete chain needs printed genealogical verification. Works such as Umdat al-Talib help explain major Alid branches, but local shrine attributions require separate review.
For visitors, the shrine represents love for the family of Ahl al-Bayt, respect for the Sayyids, and the expanded sacred memory of Karbala. For researchers, it is a useful example of how modern shrine institutions, local titles, genealogical works, and living visitation practice must be read together but not confused with one another.
Historical / Religious Importance
The historical value of this shrine lies in its place within Karbala’s wider Sayyid devotional memory. Modern shrine material connects the personality with the Abbasid branch of the Alid family, but the complete chain requires independent genealogical verification.
The site reminds visitors that Karbala’s sacred geography extends beyond the two central shrines into a broader network of attributed Sayyid shrines, family memory, and local visitation. This makes it significant for understanding how devotion and genealogy interact in Iraqi shrine culture.
For researchers, the entry requires careful separation between modern shrine descriptions, older genealogical works, local titles, and the present identity of the site. This cautious method protects the page from unsupported lineage claims while preserving the shrine’s living importance.
