'''The Chamber of the Prophet''', the home of [[Prophet Muhammad]] (PBUH) and [[Aisha]], is the place of the Prophet's demise and his burial site. It is located in the city of [[Medina]] within the premises of the [[Masjid al-nabi]]. This house, like the other houses of the [[Prophet's wives]], was attached to the [Masjid al-nabi, and its door opened into the mosque. Later, with the expansion of the Masjid al-nabi, it became part of its interior.
The Madinan Sanctuary / The Prophet’s Mosque in Medina
==Location==
Ḥaram Madanī is an area of the city of Medina in the Hijaz that, in Islam, holds sanctity and has special etiquettes and rulings.
During the construction of the Prophet's Mosque, rooms (chambers) were built on its eastern side for the residence of the Prophet and his wives. Initially, a chamber was built for Suda, followed by one for Aisha, and extending from there, another chamber was constructed for [[Fatima(a)]].<ref>Jaʿfarīyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 217-218.</ref>
This area extends from the east and west between the eastern lava field (al-Ḥarra al-Sharqiyya) and the western lava field (al-Ḥarra al-Gharbiyya), and from the north and south, from Mount Thawr to Mount ʿAyr.
The Noble Chamber is the title given to the chamber of Aisha because the Prophet passed away in this chamber and was buried at the same location.<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 61.</ref> This chamber is situated in the east of the mosque, and its door opens into the [[Rawdah of the Prophet]].<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 61.</ref>
The Madinan Sanctuary has rulings and etiquettes, such as the recommended act of performing ghusl and purification when entering it, and these are similar to the rulings and etiquettes of the Meccan Sanctuary.
==The Prophet's burial place is in this Chamber==
Some have considered the reason for Medina being made a sanctuary to be the granting of protection to Medina and its inhabitants, while others have attributed it to the presence of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The Prophet passed away in the chamber of Aisha.<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 62.</ref> However, some sources believe that the resting place and burial site of the Prophet are between the chamber of Aisha and the [[Fatima's house]], belonging to none of his wives.<ref>Jaʿfarīyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 218.</ref>
==Boundaries==
The Madinan Sanctuary is an area within Medina in the Hijaz.
This sanctuary lies, from the east and west, between the eastern lava field (al-Ḥarra al-Sharqiyya) and the western lava field (al-Ḥarra al-Gharbiyya).(1) al-Kulaynī ,"al-Kāfī,",vol. 4,p. 564-565. ,,, ibn Ḥanbal ," Musnad al-Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal ",vol. 3,p. 23. ,,, al-Ḥajjāj al-Nīshābūrī Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim",vol. 4,p. 113.
And according to one narration, it extends from the north and south, from Mount Thawr to Mount ‘Ayr.(2) al-Ḥajjāj al-Nīshābūrī Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim",vol. 4,p. 115. ,,, al-Bukhārī , "Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī ",vol. 8,p. 10.  


After the Prophet's demise, discussions arose about the location of his burial. Abu Bakr mentioned that he had heard from the Prophet that every prophet is buried at the place where they breathe their last. Consequently, the Prophet was buried in [[Aisha's chamber]], and his grave was placed in the southern part of the chamber.<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 62; Shanqīṭī, ''Al-Durra al-thamīn maʿālim dār al-rasūl al-Amīn'', p. 69.</ref>
In the narrations, other various expressions have also been mentioned for determining its northern and southern boundaries.(3) al-Kulaynī ,"al-Kāfī,",vol. 4,p. 564. ,,, al-Majlisī ,"Marāʾat al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl ", vol. 18, p. 279. ,,, Najafī," Jawāhir al-Kalām Sharḥ Sharāʾiʿ al-Islām " ,vol. 20, p. 75. ,,, ibn Bābawayh ," Maʿānī al-Akhbār ",p. 337.
==Those who are buried in this Chamber==
==Why it became a Haram==
After the Prophet's burial, Aisha lived in the northern part of the chamber, and there was no curtain between her and the grave. After the death of [[Abu Bakr]], his body was buried next to the [[Prophet's grave]], with a forearm's distance, and his head was aligned with the Prophet's shoulders.<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 62; Shanqīṭī, ''Al-Durra al-thamīn fī maʿālim dār al-rasūl al-Amīn'', p. 69.</ref>
Various reasons have been mentioned for why the city of Medina was made a sanctuary (ḥaram).
 
Some of them are as follows:
Following the death of [[Umar]], Aisha allowed him to be buried in the chamber as well. Consequently, with a forearm's distance, Umar's head was placed opposite the shoulders of Abu Bakr. After Umar's burial, Aisha drew a curtain between the graves and her living space, as Umar's presence was considered non-mahram for her.<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 62; Shanqīṭī, ''Al-Durra al-thamīn maʿālim dār al-rasūl al-Amīn'', p. 69.</ref>

==reconstructions==
• Showing reverence to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him);
During the [[reconstruction of the Prophet's Mosque in the time of Walid ibn Abdul Malik]], a pentagonal wall was erected around this Chamber, and a portion of the [[Prophet's Rawdah]] was included within this enclosure.<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 66.</ref>
• The witnessing of divine lights by the Prophet (peace be upon him) within this area;
 
• The descent of the angels who guarded the Prophet (peace be upon him) in this area;
In the [[Mamluk Baybars]] period, a wooden enclosure was constructed around the [[chamber of Aisha]], and the [[fatima's house|house of Fatima(a)]] was also placed inside this enclosure.<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 124.</ref> In this way, a part of the Prophet's Rawdah and the house of Fatima(a) became part of the space now referred to as the Chamber. The area of the Noble Chamber, including these additions, is 240 square meters (16 meters in length and 15 meters in width), and a golden grille has been installed around it.<ref>Jaʿfarīyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 219.</ref>
