About twenty five kilometers from Masjid Jamkaran near the holy city of Qum in central Iran on the road to Kahak the shrines of Imamzadeh Shah Ismail and Bibi Sakina Khatoon are situated.
It is recorded in the shrine that they were the children of Imam Musa Kazim (A.S.), the seventh Holy Imam, who on their way to Khurasan were invited for dinner by a landlord of this area and when they were busy having their food they were attacked and martyred .
Coming back to Masjid Jamkaran on the right hand side of the road leading to this Masjid, there is a very old small room which houses the graves of seven Imamzadehs. It is requested that 'zaireen' must pay their respects to these seven Imamzadehs who were also martyred only because they belonged to Bani Hashim and were killed innocently thousands of miles away from their homes in Madinah. Their names are written on their graves as Imamzadeh Hasan, Imamzadeh Jaffer, Imamzadeh Abul Qasim, Imamzadeh Abbas, Imamzadeh Feroz, Imamzadeh Ibrahim and Imamzadeh Saleh.
One more Imamzadeh by name Imamzadeh Saleh is also buried in Teheran. We have to pay our due respects to the martyred children from the Holy Imams (A.S.) who sacrificed their lives in the sacred cause of defending Islam.
