The shrine building of Imarn Hussain (A. S.) was renewed for the sixth time at the beginning of the sixth Hijri century as the building built by Adhud al-Dawla collapsed in 407 A. H. (10 17 A.D.) after it caught fire following the fall of two large candles.
This fire destroyed both the dome and the halls. The shrine remained in this state until the Buwaihid wazir (minister), al Hassan ibn al-Fadhl al-Ramhurmuzi, renewed it once again.
He used clay brick and gypsum as materials of construction and built a wall around the shrine. This building was described by the well-known traveler ibn Baltula in his journey to Karbala in 727 A. H. (1327 A. D.).
