The Mausoleum of Talha ibn 'Ubayd Allah (Arabic: ضريح طلحة بن عبيد الله) is a mausoleum or funerary monument located at Az Zubayr in Basra, Iraq.[1][2][3][4][5] The monument is constructed over the purported grave of Talha ibn Ubaidullah, one of the Sahaba who is revered in Sunni Islam.
The mausoleum is still undergoing construction as of 2018. Formerly it was part of a two-domed mosque complex[2][4][6] which was built in 1973 and known as the Talha ibn 'Ubayd Allah Mosque, but in 2006 the mosque building was destroyed with explosives by Shi'ite gunmen in an act of revenge for the 2006 al-Askari mosque bombing.[2][3][4][6] In the same year, the Mausoleum of Anas ibn Malik and several other Sunni mosques were also attacked for the same reason.[7][4] Currently, the tomb of Talha still survives even though the mosque has been destroyed.[8][5][9]
