About this cemetery
Al Khaisaran cemetery is now known as the Adhamiyah cemetery in Baghdad and surrounds the mosque of Imam Abu Hanifa, who was buried there in 150 AH (767 CE). It is the origin of the Adhamiyah district. The name comes from al-Khayzuran, wife of Caliph al-Mahdi and mother of al-Hadi and Harun al-Rashid, who died and was buried there in 173 AH, and the cemetery holds the graves of many scholars, jurists and governors.
