Al-Hannanah Mosque (Arabic: مَسْجِد ٱلْحَنَّانَة, romanized: Masjid al-Ḥannānah) is a Shi'ite mosque in Najaf, Iraq. This mosque is also called Masjid ar-Raʾs (Arabic: مَسْجِد ٱلرَّأْس), meaning "Mosque of the Head" (of Husayn ibn Ali), because Husain's head was kept in its middle, while being taken to his opponent Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, according to a hadith (narration) attributed to his descendant, Ja'far al-Sadiq.[1][2]
