'''Dahw al-Ardh'''(Arabic: دحو الأرض), The spreading of the earth has the meaning of the expansion of the land, with some interpreting it as the emergence of dry land from under the water, and others understanding it as the positional and translational movement of the earth. In verses 27 to 33 of Surah Al-Nazi'at, the expansion of the earth after the creation of the heavens is mentioned (وَ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا). According to some Islamic narrations, the earth has expanded from [[Mecca]] or beneath the [[Ka'ba]].
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),<ref>Fāsī, '' Shifāʾ al-Gharām '', vol. 1, p. 472.
</ref>
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).


According to some narrations, "Dahw al-Ardh" coincides with the [[25th of Dhu al-Qa'da]], and performing ablution and fasting on this day is recommended, carrying numerous rewards.
The Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh
==Ontology==
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.
"Dahw al-Ardh" is a compound word consisting of two terms: "(دحو)Dahw," meaning to spread or expand.<ref>Rāghib al-Iṣfahānī, ''Mufradāt alfāẓ al-Qurʾān'', p. 308; Ibn Manẓūr, ''Lisān al-ʿArab'', vol. 14, p. 251; Dehkhodā, ''Lughatnāma'', vol. 6, p. 9210, word, (دحو). </ref>
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.
And "(أرض)'Ardh" means the land or earth, in contrast to the sky or heavens.<ref>Rāghib al-Iṣfahānī, ''Mufradāt alfāẓ al-Qurʾān'', p. 73; Dehkhodā, ''Lughatnāma'', vol. 6, p. 1571, word, (أرض); Ṭabībīyān, ''Farhang-I farzān'', p. 507, word, (زمین)</ref>
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.
Some have also mentioned that in this combination, "Ardh" signifies dry land in contrast to the sea and mountains, not referring to the entire globe of the Earth.<ref>Shaʾrānī, ''Nathr-i ṭūba'', vol. 1, p. 17, 253; Ḥasanzāda Āmulī, ''Durūs hayʾat'', vol. 1, p. 232.</ref>
"Dahw al-Ard" is a term that means the spreading or expansion of the land from beneath the [[Ka'ba]].<ref>Shahīd al-Thānī,  ''Masālik al-ifhām ilā tanqīh sharāyiʿ al-Islām'', vol. 2, P. 77, Sabziwārī, ''Dhakhīrat al-maʿād fī sharḥ al-Irshād'', vol. 1, P. 519; Mūsawī ʿĀmilī,  ''Madārik al-aḥkām fī sharḥ Sharāʾiʿ al-Islām'', vol. 6, P. 265.</ref>


Others have considered it to mean the spread of dry land, in a way that the surface of the earth was initially filled with water during the early creation, gradually flowing into valleys and lowlands until dry lands became apparent.<ref>Shaʾrānī, ''Nathr-i ṭūba'', vol. 1, p. 17; Makārim Shīrāzī,  ''Tafsīr-i nimūna'', vol. 26, P. 110; vol. 27, P. 43; Ḥasanī, ''Zamīn wa āsimān dar qurʾān wa nahj al-balāgha'', p. 51-53.</ref>
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.
A contemporary Shia scholar from a city has interpreted the meaning of "Dahw al-Ardh" as the positional and translational movement of the earth. He considers the expansion and spreading derived from the term "Dahw" as an erroneous interpretation.<ref>Shahristānī, ''Islām wa hayʾat'', p. 141-161;  Ḥasanī, ''Zamīn wa āsimān dar qurʾān wa nahj al-balāgha'', p. 55.</ref>
Another possible interpretation of "Dahw al-Ardh," suggested by some scholars, is the preparation of the earth for life. This involves bringing out the inner waters, allowing the growth of plants, and removing obstacles through the stability of mountains.<ref>Fakhr al-Rāzī, ''Al-Tafsīr al-Kabīr'', vol. 31, P. 48;  Ibn Kathīr, ''Tafsīr al-Qurʾān al-ʿaẓīm'', vol. 1, p. 123.</ref>
In this possibility, considering the spherical nature of the Earth, the material expansion is rejected.<ref>Nasfī, ''Tafsīr al-Qurʾān al-jalīl'', vol. 4, p. 315; Marāghī, ''Tafsīr al-Marāghī'', vol. 30, p. 31-32.</ref>
Some have also understand the expansion of the earth to mean the widening of land areas under the feet of people, rather than referring to the entire globe of the Earth.<ref>Shaʾrānī, ''Nathr-i ṭūba'', vol. 1, p. 253.</ref>
==The day of "Dahw al-Ardh" and its practices==
According to some narrations, "Dahw al-Ardh" coincides with the [[25th of Dhu al-Qa'dah]].<ref>Ibn Ṭāwūs,  ''Iqbāl al-aʿmāl'',vol. 2, p. 24-38; Nawawī, ''Rawdhat al-ṭālibīn'', p. 351.</ref>
doing ghusl and fasting are among the customs and practices recommended on this day,<ref>Khāwnsārī,  ''Mashāriq al-shumūs'', vol. 2, p. 451; Mūsawī Iṣfahānī, ''Mikyāl al-makārim'', vol. 2, p. 35.</ref>
and they are considered recommended (mustahabb), carrying numerous rewards.<ref>Kulaynī, ''Al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 149;  Kafʿamī, ''Al-Miṣbāḥ'', p. 514;  Baḥrānī, ''Al-Ḥadāʾiq al-nāḍira fī aḥkām al-ʿitrat al-ṭāhira'', vol. 4; p. 235.</ref>
==In the heavenly books==
"Dahw al-Ardh" has been mentioned in In the heavenly books such as the Quran and the Torah.


===In the Torah===
The Martyr of Fakh
In the Torah, there is a reference to "Dahw al-Ardh": "And God said, 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together He called Seas. And God saw that it was good. And God said, 'Let the earth sprout vegetation.'"<ref>Genesis: 1: 9-11; Hawkes, ''Persian Bible Dictionary'', p. 84.</ref>
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.
===In the Quran===
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.
In the Quran, there is a reference to the expansion of the earth (Dahw al-Ardh دحو الأرض). <ref>Ṭabarī,  ''Jāmiʾ al-bayān fi tafsīr al-Qurʾān'', vol. 30, p. 29; Ṭūsī, ''Al-Tibyān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān'', vol. 10, p. 260; Thaʿlabī, ''Al-Kashf wa l-bayān ʿan tafsīr al-Qurʾān'', vol. 10, p. 127.</ref>


Verses 27-33 of Surah Al-Nazi'at in the Quran mention the expansion of the earth after the creation of the heavens. In verse 30, the expression "«والارض بعد ذلک دحاها»" (and the earth after that He spread) is used for explanation.<ref>Ṭabrisī, ''Majmaʿ al-bayān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān'', vol. 10, p. 660; Samarqandī, ''Tafsīr al-samarqandī'', vol. 3, p. 522;  Baghawī, ''Tafsir al-Baghawī'', vol. 4, p. 444.</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.
In verse 6 of Surah Ash-Shams, there is an oath by the earth and its expander, with the expression "wal-arda wama tahaha" (by the earth and its expanse). According to some scholars, the word "طحا" (taha) in its origin is "دحو" (daha), where "دال" (dal) has transformed into "طا" (ta) and carries the meaning of expanding, spreading, or in here; extending.<ref>Ṭūsī, ''Al-Tibyān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān'', vol. 10, p. 358; Fakhr al-Rāzī,''Al-Tafsīr al-Kabīr'', vol. 31, p. 192; Ibn Manẓūr, ''Lisān al-ʿArab'', vol. 15, p. 4; word «طحا».</ref>
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 expansion of the earth from beneath the Ka'ba==
The Martyr of Fakh, or Ṣāḥib al-Fakh, began his uprising from Medina.(9) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 372.
. Some interpreters, relying on verse 96 of Sura Al Imran, where the [[Ka'ba]] is described as the first house established on earth, argue that the expansion of the earth has originated from beneath the Ka'ba. They interpret the verse as a reference to "dahw al-ardh" (the spreading of the earth).<ref>Ṭabrisī, ''Majmaʿ al-bayān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān'', vol. 2, p. 797; Abū Ḥayyān Andulusī,''Al-Baḥr al-muḥīṭ fī al-tafsīr'', vol. 4, p. 583.</ref>
After taking control of the city, due to the approaching Hajj season, he moved toward Mecca with 300 of his companions and close followers.
In some narrations, it is also mentioned that God created the Ka'ba 2000 years before the spreading of the earth.<ref> Kulaynī, ''Al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 190; Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 241; Ṣadūq, ''Al-Amālī'', p. 715.</ref>
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.
According to numerous narrations, the spreading of the earth (dahw al-ardh) has originated from [[Mecca]] and beneath the house of the Ka'ba.<ref>Suyūṭī, ''Al-Durr al-manthūr fī tafsīr al-maʾthūr'', vol. 8, p. 412; ***,,, Majlisī, Muḥammad Bāqir al-. ''Biḥār al-anwār''.vol54.p64,,, Kulaynī, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb al-. ''Al-Kāfī''.vol4.p189,,, Ṣadūq, Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-. ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh''.vol2.p241</ref>(19)( )
Other Graves
Umm al-Qura:
It is said that ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb(11) Ibn Saʿd, ''al-Ṭabaqāt al-Kubrā'',vol. 4, p. 142.
In verses 92 of Surah Al-An'am and 7 of Surah Ash-Shura, there is an interpretation of "Umm al-Qura" (Mother of Cities) referring to Mecca. Some commentators have suggested that in the beginning, water covered all the land, and only the place of the Kaaba on a dry hill remained. This dryness gradually emerged from around the Kaaba until it expanded to its current size.(20)( Ṭūsī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-. ''Al-Tibyān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān''.vol4.p201,, Baghawī, Ḥusayn b. Masʿūd al-. ''Tafsir al-Baghawī.vol1.p115,,, Samarqandī, Naṣr b. Muḥammad al-. ''Tafsīr al-samarqandī al-musammā baḥr al-ʿulūm.vol1.p486)
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.
In a narration from Imam Ali, the same concept is mentioned.(21)( ''Al-Tafsīr al-mansūb ilā al-Imām al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī al-ʿAskarī 7.p145,,, Majlisī, Muḥammad Bāqir al-. ''Biḥār al-anwār''.vol54.p88)
There is also a report of the burial of ʿAbdullāh ibn Zubayr in Fakh(13) Jaʿfarīān, '',Āthār Islāmiyya Makkah wa Madīnah '', p. 200.
In a narration from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the reason for naming Mecca as Umm al-Qura has been understood to be the spreading of the earth (daha al-ard) from Mecca.(22)( Ṭūsī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-. ''Al-Tibyān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān''.vol1.p131,,, Suyūṭī, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Bakr al-. ''Al-Durr al-manthūr fī tafsīr al-maʾthūr'.vol3.p29)
Virtue / Merit
If the Kaaba is the first part of the earth that emerged from water, it should be the highest point on Earth, but it is not. In response, it is explained that the spreading of the earth (daha al-ard) occurred millions of years ago, and during this time, the Earth has undergone transformations. Mountains have turned into ocean floors, and ocean floors have become mountains.(23)( Makārim Shīrāzī, Nāṣir. ''Tafsīr-i nimūna''.vol5.p345)


==Notes==
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.

Miqāt for Children


Ṭabrisī, Faḍl b. al-Ḥasan al-. ''Majmaʿ al-bayān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān''. Edited by Muḥammad Jawād Balāghī. 3rd edition. Tehran: Intishārāt-i Nāṣir Khusraw, 1372 Sh.
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


Ibn Ṭāwūs, ʿAlī b. Mūsā. ''Iqbāl al-aʿmāl''. Edited by Jawād Qayyūmī. Qom: Markaz al-Nashr al-Islāmī, 1415 AH.
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.
