Since the 6th century, this place has been known in sources as the birthplace of Lady Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet. Since then, there were two domes in this house. One was called [[Qubbat al-Waḥy]] and it was built on a room that was considered the place of worship and the place where Gabriel descended on the Prophet. The other dome was built over a room that was said to be the place of worship of lady Fatima(s).
In the Fakh area, there is a mountain at the foot of which lies a cemetery known as the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh.(2) Jaʿfarīān, ''Āthār Islāmiyya Makkah wa Madīnah'' , p. 199-200.
The martyrs of Fakh were a group of Sādāt Ḥasanī (descendants of Imam Hasan) who were martyred in the battle against the Abbasids in the year 169 AH at this pl According to the latest contemporary sources, this cemetery is relatively spacious but has been divided into three sections due to the road. ace.(3) Ibn Khaldūn, ''Tārīkh Ibn Khaldūn'' vol. 5,p. 148.
According to the latest contemporary sources, this cemetery is relatively spacious but has been divided into three sections due to the road. Part of it is about two meters above street level, and the main section is enclosed by a courtyard wall with a gate that is always closed. It is said that the grave of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī (the martyr of Fakh) is located within this walled enclosure.(2) Jaʿfarīān, ''Āthār Islāmiyya Makkah wa Madīnah'' , p. 199-200.


In the 14thAH/20th century AD, after House of Saʿūd conquered [[Mecca]], this house was destroyed and later a building for teaching the Quran was built in its place. During the demolition and excavation of this place with the aim of developing the Grand Mosque in 1410 AH, the remains of the old building of Khadija’s house were found under the soil. This place has disappeared today and its location is in the area of [[Masjid al-Ḥarām]].
According to some reports from the year 1391 SH (2012-2013 CE), the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh was destroyed and turned into a garbage dump.(4) ISNA, news code: 91090602351.

The Martyr of Fakh
Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥasan al-Muthallath ibn Ḥasan al-Muthannā, son of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him), known as Ṣāḥib al-Fakh(5) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 364.
He was the leader of a revolt against the Abbasid government, which is referred to as the Incident of Fakh or the Uprising of Fakh(6) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 366-367.


Lady Khadīja’s house was in [[Mecca]]<ref>Azraqī, ''Akhbār Makka'' ,vol. 2, p. 78-87; Yamānī, ''Sayyida Khadīja bint khūwaylīd'', p. 94.</ref>and it was located in the vicinity of [[Abu Sufyan|Abu Sufyān]]'s house. <ref>Azraqī, ''Akhbār Makka'' ,vol. 2, p. 199.</ref>
Ṣāḥib al-Fakh was martyred on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah in the year 169 AH (Yawm al-Tarwiyah) in the Fakh region during the battle against the army of Hādī al-‘Abbāsī (reigned 169–170 AH), along with most of his soldiers, including about 100 of the Hasanid descendants(7) ʿ Amīn Āmīlī,, '' A‘yān al-Shīʿa'',vol. 6, p. 97.
According to al-Ḥamawī, a 7th-century AH historian, the bodies of the martyrs, after remaining on the ground for three days and being preyed upon by wild animals, were buried in the place now known as the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh.(8) Yāqūt al-Ḥamawī, '' Muʿjam al-Buldān'',vol. 4, p. 238.

But upon reaching the Fakh region, he confronted the Abbasid army, commanded by ʿAbbās ibn Muḥammad (a descendant of ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbbās), and in this battle all of his army were martyred, with only a few captured. Some of his relatives, including his uncle Idrīs ibn ʿAbdullāh, managed to escape Idrīs fled to the Maghreb and established the Idrisid dynasty there.(10) Various Authors, ''Tārīkh al-Tashayyūʿ''. Vol. 1, p. 263.
Other Graves

According to another narration, the Prophet (peace be upon him) stood in ṣalāh (prayer) at this place and wept during the prayer The Prophet explained that he wept because one of his descendants would be martyred at this place.(15) ) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 366-367.


This house became known as the Dār (house) of Lady Khadīja because of the residence of her and it was also known as the birthplace of [[Fatima|Lady Fatima]](s) because of the birth of lady Fatimah.<ref>al-fāsī, al-Zuhūr al-muqattifa min tārīkh makka al-musharrifa, p. 99.</ref>                 


The first descriptions of Khadija’s house
Also, Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him), while passing through this place, foretold the martyrdom of one of his Ahl al-Bayt at this location.(16) ) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 367. , Muḥaddith Qumī, ''Muntahā al-Āmāl'', vol. 1, p. 261.
According to Abulwalid Azraqi, a historian of the third lunar century, this house was taken over by Aqeel bin Abi Talib after the Prophet’s migration to Medina. Mu’awiyah bin Abis Sufyan bought that house and turned it into a mosque and opened a door to it from his father Abu Sufyan’s house. [10. .Akhbār Makka , vol. 2, p. 199.    ; ] This house was later called Dar Abi Sufyan[ 11 Al-ir. ‘’Al-Tārīkh al-qawīm, vol. 1, p. 289]. Abu Lahab and the Prophet’s cousin, one of the staunch enemies of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) occupied it after the migration of the Prophet (PBUH)[12  Al-Ṭabaqāt  al-kubrā
vol. 4, p. 45.] and the Prophet (PBUH) did not claim the house after the conquest of Mecca.[13  .Akhbār Makka, p.245.vol.2]
Ibn Jubir (d. 614 AH) mentioned this house in his travelogue at the end of the 6th century. This house had two domes at that time. One is a larger dome called the Dome of the Revelation, which was the place where the Prophet and Khadijah lived, and the place where Gabriel descended on the Prophet, and the other is a small dome, where Hazrat Fatima (PBUH) was born.[14 ‘’Safarnāma Ibn Jubayr’’  pp. 81-82.]
Khadijah’s house in the 9th century


Taqi al-Din Fasi (d. 832 A.H.), the historian of Mecca, gave a detailed description of the building of Khadija’s house, or according to him “the birthplace of Fatima”, and pointed out that this house is considered virtuous by the people and they visit it.[16.      , p. 99]


Fassi says this place is more like a mosque because it has a portico with seven arches and eight columns. In the middle of the front wall there are three altars and in front of it is a portico with four arches and five columns. And between these two porches is a courtyard. The other part of the house includes rooms. One is the birth of Fatima, the other is the Dome of Revelation, and the third is the Mokhtaba. Some believe that these rooms are the same old area of the house that was in the time of the Prophet and the mosque part was added to it later. [17 Shifāʾ al-gharām ‘’vol .1 p.360] The shorter descriptions of other writers are also consistent with Fassi’s description until the eleventh decade. [18. Dār Sayyida Khadīja, p.48]
Sheikh Tusi, in his book Rijāl, considered Ṣāḥib al-Fakh to be among the companions of Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him(17) Ṭūsī, '' Rijāl al-Ṭūsī'', p. 489.
Khadijah’s house in the 13th and 14th centuri
In a travelogue from the end of the period of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (1313-1264 AH), it is mentioned in the description of the house of Hazrat Khadijah (pbuh) that it had a marble floor, a dome was on the birthplace of Hazrat Fatima (pbuh) and a room in it called the place of worship of the Prophet (pbuh). It ha  b een famous. [19] According to a report in 1265 A.H., in the place of Khadijah's house, a support known as " Takiyeh al-Sida Fatimah" was built for the use of the poor. [20] 


In the early 20th century, Mohammad Labib Betnouni (1375 AD) gave a detailed report on the condition of Khadijah's house along with a plan of the house's architecture in his travelogue. His description is as follows
It is narrated that Imam Musa al-Kāẓim (peace be upon him) honored the Martyr of Fakh(18) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 380.


This house is now a little lower than the ground level, which can be reached by a few steps. After entering the door on the left, you will reach a flat space higher than the ground, which is about 30 cm high. The dimensions of this space are about 10 meters long and 4 meters wide, where a home school has been established to teach the Holy Quran to children. On the right side, there is a small door with two steps leading to a narrow space of two meters wide. It has three doors. The door on the left side opens to a room with an area of three meters by three meters, which was the place of worship of the Prophet and the place of revelation... The door that is placed in front of this narrow space leads to a larger space that is 6 meters long. And it is 4 meters wide and opens. This place was the place where the Prophet and his wife Khadijah lived. But the door on the right side opens to a rectangular space 4 meters wide and 5.7 meters long, in the middle of which is a small compartment that is considered the birthplace of Hazrat Fatima. Along the length of this house and in the outer part of this corridor, there is a platform whose level is about one and a half meters higher than the mentioned rooms and its dimensions are 16 meters long and 7 meters wide, which is probably the storage place for Hazrat Khadija’s commercial goods. Is. [21.  ‘’Al-Tārīkh al-qawīm,p. Vol 1.p.289.290]
Miqāt for Children
Destruction of the houseEdit


The Egyptian writer Muhammad Hasanin Heikal (1376 AH) visited the place of this house in 1354 AH. He writes: Wahhabis have destroyed the place of birth of Hazrat Fatima (PBUH) and now this place is an empty space and there is no trace of it. [23 . Raḥla al-ḥijaziyya’’ p.149] Mohammad Lotfi Juma also confirmed the destruction of the house in his travelogue.[24 ’Fī manzil al-waḥy’’ p. 227.]
According to Shia jurists, based on narrations, Fakh is considered the miqāt (designated station for entering ihrām) for children.(19) Rūḥānī, '' al-Murtaqā ilā al-Fiqh al-Arqā '', vol. 2, p. 28.
The construction of a Quranic school in the place of KhanehEdit
In a narration, Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him), in response to the question of where the sewn garments of children could be removed [and where they could be made to enter ihrām], said: “My father, Imam Muhammad al-Bāqir (peace be upon him), would remove the children’s garments at Fakh and make them enter ihrām.”(20) Kulaynī, ''  al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 303. , Shaykh Ṣadūq, '' Man Lā Yaḥḍuruhu al-Faqīh''  , vol. 2, p. 433.
Some jurists believe that the guardian of a child can make the child enter ihrām at one of the five designated miqāts on their behalf—by intending on their behalf and reciting the Talbiyah—but the act of removing the child’s garments and putting on the ihrām can be delayed until reaching Fakh.(21) Anṣārī, '' Maʿālim al-Dīn fī Fiqh Āl Yāsīn ''  ,vol. 1, p. 230. , Rūḥānī, '' al-Murtaqā ilā al-Fiqh al-Arqā '', vol. 2, p. 28.


In Jumadi al-Awwal 1370, a building was built as a school for the memorization of the Holy Quran on the ground of Hazrat Khadijah’s house. [25. ’Ayyām al-mabrūrra fī al-buqāʿ al-Muqaddasa’’p.78.] Muhammad Tahir Kurdi (d. 1400 AH) also mentioned this foundation. [26 ,’’Dār Sayyida Khadīja bint khūwaylīd , p. 58 . Aʿlām al- ḥijāz fī al-qarn al-rābiʿ al-ʿashar p.85] This mosque It was built by Seyyed Abbas Qattan and it was known as Seyyed Abbas Madrasah in Dar Umm Al Mominin Khadija.[27.Al-Tārīkh al-qawīm p. Vol 1.p.290]
Most Shia jurists believe that the actual ihrām for children can be performed from Fakh, serving as their designated miqāt.(22) Anṣārī, '' Mawsūʿat Aḥkām al-Aṭfāl wa Adillatuhā'' , vol. 5, p. 282.
Integration in Masjid al-Nabi edit
Of course, this applies to cases other than Ḥajj al-Tamattu


At the end of the year, in 1410, the Quran preservation building was destroyed to expand the spaces on the eastern side of the shrine. During the demolition operation, they found the remains of old buildings and it turned out that the place where these historical works were found is the house of Hazrat Khadijah (pbuh)[28.’’Dār Sayyida Khadīja bint khūwaylīd  p.58]. Khadija prepared pictures and maps and gave a report of her observations in her book Dar al-Saidah Khadija bint Khuwaild.[29.Dār Sayyida Khadīja bint khūwaylīd. P.60.  ’’Al-Amākin al-mʾthūrahp.249].
Some contemporary jurists, such as Muhammad-Taqi Bahjat, hold that the guardian of a child can make the child enter ihrām at one of the well-known miqāts and may delay the removal of the sewn garments and putting on the ihrām until reaching Fakh.(23) Iftikhārī Golpāygānī, ''  Ārāʾ al-Marājiʿ fī al-Ḥajj ʿalā Ḍawʾ Fatāwā al-Imām al-Khomeynī. '', vol. 1, p. 34.
Sunni jurists are either opposed to this or remain silent on the matter. However, some of them say that there is no problem in delaying the ihrām of a child until reaching the Ḥaram (the Sacred Mosque) or near it(24) Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr al-Qurṭubī, '' al-Kāfī fī Fiqh Ahl al-Madīnah '',vol. 1, p. 411.

Fakh is an area in the north of Mecca, near Tan'im Mosque, about four kilometers from Masjid al-Haram. According to Shia jurists, this place is the location where children enter into ihram. The cemetery of the martyrs of Fakh is also located here. This cemetery is the burial site of Husayn ibn Ali (known as Sahib al-Fakh) and a number of Hasanid nobles who were martyred in the battle against the Abbasids in the year 169 AH at Fakh. According to historians, the graves of some companions of the Prophet — including Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab — were also located in this area but were demolished during the Saudi period. According to some narrations, the Prophet prayed in this place, foretold the martyrdom of one of his descendants, and wept in mourning for him.

Location

Fakh, or Wādī Zāhir (Zahir Valley),[1] It is the name of an area in the north of Mecca, near Tan'im Mosque. This place is located 4 kilometers from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām (the Sacred Mosque). Today, this place is referred to as “Ḥayyu al-Shuhadā’” (the Neighborhood of the Martyrs).

The Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh In the Fakh area, there is a mountain at the foot of which lies a cemetery known as the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh.(2) Jaʿfarīān, Āthār Islāmiyya Makkah wa Madīnah , p. 199-200. The martyrs of Fakh were a group of Sādāt Ḥasanī (descendants of Imam Hasan) who were martyred in the battle against the Abbasids in the year 169 AH at this pl According to the latest contemporary sources, this cemetery is relatively spacious but has been divided into three sections due to the road. ace.(3) Ibn Khaldūn, Tārīkh Ibn Khaldūn vol. 5,p. 148. According to the latest contemporary sources, this cemetery is relatively spacious but has been divided into three sections due to the road. Part of it is about two meters above street level, and the main section is enclosed by a courtyard wall with a gate that is always closed. It is said that the grave of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī (the martyr of Fakh) is located within this walled enclosure.(2) Jaʿfarīān, Āthār Islāmiyya Makkah wa Madīnah , p. 199-200.

According to some reports from the year 1391 SH (2012-2013 CE), the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh was destroyed and turned into a garbage dump.(4) ISNA, news code: 91090602351.

The Martyr of Fakh Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥasan al-Muthallath ibn Ḥasan al-Muthannā, son of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him), known as Ṣāḥib al-Fakh(5) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn ,p. 364. He was the leader of a revolt against the Abbasid government, which is referred to as the Incident of Fakh or the Uprising of Fakh(6) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn ,p. 366-367.

Ṣāḥib al-Fakh was martyred on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah in the year 169 AH (Yawm al-Tarwiyah) in the Fakh region during the battle against the army of Hādī al-‘Abbāsī (reigned 169–170 AH), along with most of his soldiers, including about 100 of the Hasanid descendants(7) ʿ Amīn Āmīlī,, A‘yān al-Shīʿa,vol. 6, p. 97. According to al-Ḥamawī, a 7th-century AH historian, the bodies of the martyrs, after remaining on the ground for three days and being preyed upon by wild animals, were buried in the place now known as the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh.(8) Yāqūt al-Ḥamawī, Muʿjam al-Buldān,vol. 4, p. 238. The Martyr of Fakh, or Ṣāḥib al-Fakh, began his uprising from Medina.(9) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn ,p. 372. After taking control of the city, due to the approaching Hajj season, he moved toward Mecca with 300 of his companions and close followers. But upon reaching the Fakh region, he confronted the Abbasid army, commanded by ʿAbbās ibn Muḥammad (a descendant of ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbbās), and in this battle all of his army were martyred, with only a few captured. Some of his relatives, including his uncle Idrīs ibn ʿAbdullāh, managed to escape Idrīs fled to the Maghreb and established the Idrisid dynasty there.(10) Various Authors, Tārīkh al-Tashayyūʿ. Vol. 1, p. 263. Other Graves It is said that ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb(11) Ibn Saʿd, al-Ṭabaqāt al-Kubrā,vol. 4, p. 142. And a number of the ṣaḥābah (companions of the Prophet) are also buried in the Fakh region(12) Yāqūt al-Ḥamawī, Muʿjam al-Buldān,vol. 4, p. 238. There is also a report of the burial of ʿAbdullāh ibn Zubayr in Fakh(13) Jaʿfarīān, ,Āthār Islāmiyya Makkah wa Madīnah , p. 200. Virtue / Merit

According to a narration, the Messenger of God (peace be upon him), while traveling from Medina to Mecca, performed ghusl (ritual purification) at Fakh, which was six miles from Mecca [and is now part of the city of Mecca], before entering Mecca.(14) Ḥumayrī, al-Rawḍ al-Miʿṭār fī Khabar al-Aqṭār, p. 436.

According to another narration, the Prophet (peace be upon him) stood in ṣalāh (prayer) at this place and wept during the prayer The Prophet explained that he wept because one of his descendants would be martyred at this place.(15) ) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn ,p. 366-367.


Also, Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him), while passing through this place, foretold the martyrdom of one of his Ahl al-Bayt at this location.(16) ) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn ,p. 367. , Muḥaddith Qumī, Muntahā al-Āmāl, vol. 1, p. 261.


Sheikh Tusi, in his book Rijāl, considered Ṣāḥib al-Fakh to be among the companions of Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him(17) Ṭūsī, Rijāl al-Ṭūsī, p. 489.

It is narrated that Imam Musa al-Kāẓim (peace be upon him) honored the Martyr of Fakh(18) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn ,p. 380.

Miqāt for Children

According to Shia jurists, based on narrations, Fakh is considered the miqāt (designated station for entering ihrām) for children.(19) Rūḥānī, al-Murtaqā ilā al-Fiqh al-Arqā , vol. 2, p. 28. In a narration, Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him), in response to the question of where the sewn garments of children could be removed [and where they could be made to enter ihrām], said: “My father, Imam Muhammad al-Bāqir (peace be upon him), would remove the children’s garments at Fakh and make them enter ihrām.”(20) Kulaynī, al-Kāfī, vol. 4, p. 303. , Shaykh Ṣadūq, Man Lā Yaḥḍuruhu al-Faqīh , vol. 2, p. 433. Some jurists believe that the guardian of a child can make the child enter ihrām at one of the five designated miqāts on their behalf—by intending on their behalf and reciting the Talbiyah—but the act of removing the child’s garments and putting on the ihrām can be delayed until reaching Fakh.(21) Anṣārī, Maʿālim al-Dīn fī Fiqh Āl Yāsīn ,vol. 1, p. 230. , Rūḥānī, al-Murtaqā ilā al-Fiqh al-Arqā , vol. 2, p. 28.

Most Shia jurists believe that the actual ihrām for children can be performed from Fakh, serving as their designated miqāt.(22) Anṣārī, Mawsūʿat Aḥkām al-Aṭfāl wa Adillatuhā , vol. 5, p. 282. Of course, this applies to cases other than Ḥajj al-Tamattu

Some contemporary jurists, such as Muhammad-Taqi Bahjat, hold that the guardian of a child can make the child enter ihrām at one of the well-known miqāts and may delay the removal of the sewn garments and putting on the ihrām until reaching Fakh.(23) Iftikhārī Golpāygānī, Ārāʾ al-Marājiʿ fī al-Ḥajj ʿalā Ḍawʾ Fatāwā al-Imām al-Khomeynī. , vol. 1, p. 34. Sunni jurists are either opposed to this or remain silent on the matter. However, some of them say that there is no problem in delaying the ihrām of a child until reaching the Ḥaram (the Sacred Mosque) or near it(24) Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr al-Qurṭubī, al-Kāfī fī Fiqh Ahl al-Madīnah ,vol. 1, p. 411.
