The Shah Abdol Azim Shrine, also known as Shabdolazim, located in Rey, Iran, contains the tomb of Abdul Azim ibn Abdillah al-Hasani (aka. Shah Abdol Azim). Shah Abdol Azim was a fifth generation descendant of Imam Hasan ibn Ali (AS) and a companion of Imam Muhammad al-Taqi (AS). He was entombed here after his death in the 9th century.
Adjacent to the shrine, within the complex, include the mausolea of Imamzadeh Tahir, son of the fourth Shia Imam Sajjad (AS), and Imamzadeh Hamzeh, brother of the eighth Imam – Imam Reza (AS).
Abdol Azim migrated to Rey out of persecution and subsequently died there. A piece of paper was found in his pocket outlining his ancestry as being: Abdul Azim son of Abdillah son of Ali son of Husayn son of Zayd son of Hasan ibn Ali.
Shah Abdol Azim was sent to Rey (Modern day Tehran) by Imam Reza (AS). His journey was full of hardships but he successfully reached there and delivered the message of the Imam. He was one of the pious persons of his time.
During his journey many spies of Abbasid Caliph Al-Matawakkil tried to capture him but failed. A movie on the life of Shah Abdol Azim Al-Hasani has been made and is available in Persian and Urdu languages.
