Directly adjacent to the mosque are smaller shrines, belonging to the brothers Sayyid Radi and Sayyid Mur?adha. The golden dome over the grave of Muhammad at-Taq? was re-gilded and unveiled to the general public in March 2008, in the course of the birthday celebrations of Muhammad and his descendant, Ja‘some distance as-Sadiq.
