The first structure over the grave of Sayyid Ahmad ibn Musa was built in the 13th century during the rule of the Salghurids, by the minister, a former Buyid prince. He built a domed mausoleum over the grave and a porch. Local folklore tells that the grave was found when a light appeared over it, which caught the attention of the people, who told the minister about what they had seen.The mausoleum stayed in that state for several years until the rule of the Injuids. During that time, female Injuid monarch, Queen Tash Khatun, further expanded the structure. She built an Islamic institution as well as a tomb for herself on the southern side. A small marketplace was built next to the new structure as well.
