According to sources, Khajeh Emad al-Din, during the reign of Jahanshah, after returning from Mecca, built this mosque in front of Feyz Square in Kashan. The mosque’s endowments include other buildings around the square, including a bathhouse, a monastery and a mechanical clock. Opposite the mosque was a school and a house, and to the east was a caravanserai. In 897, Qutbuddin bin Shams al-Din Firuzabadi Meybod Yazd dedicated a mirror cup to the mosque, which was installed in the entrance hall of the mosque.
By order of Shah Abbas I, on the west side of the mosque, buildings were built for the residence and reception of the clients and residents of this mosque, of which there is no trace today except the large water reservoir and a stone inscription dated 1033.
