Tomb of Khajeh Rabie
The Tomb of Khajeh Rabie (Persian: آرامگاه خواجه ربیع) is a historic mausoleum located in Mashhad, Iran. The entombed one is attributed to have been Al-Rabi ibn Khuthaym, one of the early Tabi'een and a companion of Ali ibn Abi Talib. The mausoleum is number 412 on the list of national monuments of Iran.[1]
History
The tomb of Al-Rabi already existed at the site after his death, and it was also visited by the eight Imam, Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha.[2] The current mausoleum was first constructed in the 16th century under the reign of Shah Abbas I.[1][3] He ordered the construction of the mausoleum to be carried out under the recommendation and advice of the Shi'ite cleric Baha al-Din al-Amili.[3] Later in 1726, the former Safavid governor of Astarabad, Fath-Ali Khan Qajar, was buried outside the mausoleum.[1]
Architecture
The mausoleum building is octagonal in shape. Four large iwans are on the middle of each side on the exterior. Surrounding the mausoleum is a large garden.[2][1]
An 18-metre dome, covered in turquoise tiles, tops the mausoleum.[2][3][1] The tile work around the building is of matching colours.[2] Inside the mausoleum, the tomb of Al-Rabi ibn Khuthaym is located underneath the large dome.[1] There are also inscriptions written by calligraphers from the Safavid era, in the style of Thuluth and Bannai, are present within the building.[3]
