history
Scheych Alaeddin Mohammad was very much appreciated by Sultan Mohammad-ebne-Bayssonqor , one of Timur's grandsons , ruler of Fars and Arak, which is why he was able to set up a comfortable life. When Sultan Muhammad rebelled against his uncle Shah Ruch and was defeated, Shah Ruch captured Isfahan, which is why Sultan Mohammad had to flee to Lorestan . Because Shāh Ruch could not get hold of Sultan Muhammad, he captured Scheych Alaeddin and banished him to Saveh .
Instigated by his wife Gauhar-Schad , Shah Ruch called Scheych Alaeddin back from Saweh to sentence him to death. 80 days after his death, Shah Ruch also died. Sultan Mohammad-ebne-Bayssonqor then returned to Isfahan and ordered that the body of Scheych Alaeddin be buried in the Chaneqah , where he had preached. He ordered a mausoleum to be built over his grave. The children of Scheych Alaeddin were also buried in the mausoleum, but their tombstones were destroyed over time and their names forgotten.
A Nastaliq inscription in the form of a vase was applied in stucco on the green background of the eastern wall on the inside of the mausoleum.
