As per the narratives of certain Egyptian historians, it is claimed that the reason for such a naming of the mosque is the burial of the head of Hussein bin Ali in its premises. These accounts state that at the beginning of the Crusades, the ruler of Egypt, the Fatimid Caliph, feared that the head would be harmed in its first place in the city of Ashkelon in Palestine, so he sent for the head to come to Egypt, and the head was brought to Egypt and buried in its current location and the mosque was built on it.
There are five rows of arches on marble columns throughout the structure. Its mihrab was constructed in 1303 AH using tiny pieces of colored faience rather of marble, and it had a wooden pulpit beside it.
