[edit] Place of burial

I've got no knowledge at all about this article, but made an edit so that it references the Al Askari Mosque article, just as a good gesture kind of thing.

"Hasan was buried in the mausoleum containing the remains of his father, the Al Askari Mosque in Samarra."

I now realise after checking his year of death (874) against the year when the mosque was built (944) that the mausoleum and mosque are most likely two separate entities, although on the same site and/or one is part of the other.

With this in mind, should it be re-worded to something like this instead?

"Hasan was buried in the mausoleum containing the remains of his father, now part of the Al Askari Mosque in Samarra."

Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge can figure out the correct way to word it :)
