Shia tradition says that in 984 (373 AH) Hasan ibn Muthla Jamkarani was led at night to meet the Hidden Imam, who ordered a mosque built at Jamkaran near Qom.
984 CE · 34.58, 50.96 · status: legend
The account
The mosque became a major pilgrimage site, and pilgrims drop written petitions to the Imam into a well there. It grew greatly after 2005 with official support.
The sceptical view
Some Shia scholars question the account's chain of transmission, first recorded centuries later.
