| Pronunciation: shaw-habd-ol-azeem |
|
| Muslim town and Shrine 5 or 6 miles south of Ṭihrán. Long a "bast" where the largely-criminal population was safe from arrest, although the area of protection dwindled inversely with the enormity of the crime; a murderer, for instance, could not leave the mosque courtyard, while debtors could roam at will. (Cf. Brown's A Year Amongst the Persians). The Shrine has a great golden dome. |
