The Mosque of Al Salih Tala’i (Arabic: مسجد الصالح طلائع ) is a late Fatimid-era mosque commissioned by the vizir Tala’i ibn Ruzzik in 1160. It is located south of Bab Zuweila just outside the southern entrance to the old walled city of Cairo.It was originally built to be the resting place of the head of Husayn the grandson of ‘Ali revered as a martyr by Shi’as but this ended up in a shrine at the al-Hussein Mosque instead further north.
