In this paper, we first get a subgradient estimate of the $CR$ heat equation on a
closed pseudohermitian $(2n + 1)$-manifold. Secondly, by deriving the $CR$ version of sub-Laplacian
comparison theorem on an $(2n + 1)$-dimensional Heisenberg group $H^n$, we are able to establish a
subgradient estimate and then the Liouville-type theorem for the $CR$ heat equation on $H^n$.
