Introduction
This database record places an attributed maqam of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, Peace Be Upon Him, at the supplied coordinate in the Samarra region. It is not his grave; his recognized burial is in Jannat al-Baqi in Medina. Independent review found no official, heritage or endowment source that identifies this exact coordinate as an Imam Hasan maqam, so the precise site identity remains Under Review.
A different and documented Maqam of Imam Hasan exists in Amirli in Salah al-Din Province. Official reports describe religious ceremonies, visitors and public services at that Amirli sanctuary. Amirli is a separate locality far from the coordinate in this row, and its documentation must not be transferred to the claimed Samarra site.
Chronology also requires caution. Imam Hasan died in 50 AH, while monumental Samarra was founded as an Abbasid capital from 221 AH onward. No reviewed early source establishes that he visited the later city or stood at this modern point. Any Samarra association should therefore be described only as a later local attribution unless direct site evidence appears.
Imam Hasan was the elder son of Imam Ali and Lady Fatima, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him, and an eminent member of the Ahl al-Bayt. This brief identity note explains the devotional name; his complete biography belongs on his principal person or burial page, not on an unverified secondary location.
The present research value of this record lies in preventing confusion. It directs readers to al-Baqi as the recognized burial, separates this coordinate from the documented Amirli maqam and identifies the evidence still needed: a field photograph, inscription, Awqaf record, municipal record or reliable local publication tied to the exact site. Until then, the attribution must remain clearly qualified.
Historical / Religious Importance
This record is not yet evidence of an established Samarra pilgrimage site; its value is as a clearly flagged attribution pending exact site verification.
It directs readers to al-Baqi as Imam Hasan's recognized burial and prevents the separate documented Amirli maqam from being confused with the unverified coordinate in this row.
