House of Al-Imam Ali bin Abi Talib

When Imam Ali went to Kufa in the year 36 AH, he did not want to take Dar Al-Imara as a residence for himself or his family. Rather, he stayed in his sister Umm Hani’s house, which is a very simple modest house close to Dar Al-Imara and the Kufa Mosque, where it is 100 meters away from the southwestern corner of the Kufa Mosque. In the middle of his sister’s house is found a well of water that is still sweet to the present day, and was not affected by salinity, despite the surrounding groundwater that led to the collapse of part of Qasr Al-Imara. In one of the rooms of this house, Imam Ali bin Abi Talib moved a wounded man from the Kufa Mosque after he was beaten by Abdul Rahman bin Muljam Al-Muradi, and it is in this room where Imam Ali took his last breath before he died, and where he was washed after his martyrdom.
