The Murder of al-Nafs al-Zakiyya (Arabic: قتل النفس الزكية, Persian: قتل نفس زکیه), is the murder of the Pure Soul in advance of the rise of the Mahdi.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Nafs-e Zakiyyah's story has been told in Islamic narrations (mostly in Shia hadiths).[8] Allegedly it would transpire 15 days before al-Mahdi's rising in al-Masjid al-Haram.[9]
Nafs al-Zakiyya is either the son of Husayn ibn Ali; [10] (or, from Hassani Sayyids based on some narrations).[11] He will be killed in Mecca, between Rokn and Maqam.[12]
