In 1267, vizier Shams al-Din Juvayni improved pilgrim facilities, and in 1303, sultan Ghazan Khan built the Dar al-Siyada wing for the sayyids.
In 1326, Ibn Battuta visited the shrine and reported that it was "carpeted with various sorts of carpets of silk and other materials, and contains candelabra of gold and silver, large and small." Between the three tombs, there are gold and silver plates with rosewater, musk, and various types of scents. The visitor dips his hand in this and uses it to anoint his face as a benediction. The Jalairid monarch Shaikh Awais Jalayir repaired the shrine in 1358 after it was devastated by fire in 1354. He also deposited the remains of his father, Hasan Buzurg, in the courtyard. Timur ordered the shrine's repair following a visit to Najaf.
