The Martyr of Fakh
The house of [[Fatima(a)]], which is also known as the house of Imām ʿAlī(a), was located behind the house of the Prophet(a) (the house of ʿĀʾisha).<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 203; Ibn Diyāʾ al-Makkī, ''Tārīkh Makka al-musharrafa wa al-Masjid al-ḥarām'', p. 270. </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.

This house was destroyed and now there is no trace of it. Its current location is inside the [[Prophet's(a) chamber]] and [[prophet's shrine|shrine]]<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 203,210; Baṣīrī, ''Gulwāzhihāy-i  ḥajj wa ʿumrah'', p. 412.</ref> the sum of these two is called the Holy Chamber and its area is about 240 square meters.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 219; Baṣīrī, ''Gulwāzhihāy-i  ḥajj wa ʿumrah'', p. 412.</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.

Virtue / Merit


===The doors of the house===
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.
Fatima's house had two doors: a door to the east; that is to the alley, and a door to the west; That is, inside the mosque and parallel to the [[pillar of wufūd]] and [[pillar of Ḥirs|Ḥirs]].<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 203; Najmī, ''Tārīkh-i ḥarām-i aʾimma-yi Baqīʿ'', p. 152.</ref> The door on the west side, which opens to the mosque, was located next to [[Maqām-i Gibraʾīl]] ([[The square pillar of the tomb]]).<ref> Ansārī, Taʿmīr wa tawsiʿa masjid-i sharīf-i nabawī, p. 80,81; Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 46,57.</ref>The door that is now known as the door of Fatima's house on the side of [[‌‌Bāb-i Gibraʾīl]] is the same door that opened to the alley.<ref>Qāʾidān, Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna, p. 203.</ref>
==Demolition of Fatima's house and adding it to the mosque==
This house remained until the time of [[Walīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik]], the ʾUmayya caliph (R: 86-96 AH/705-714-5 AD). In the expansion of Masjid al-Nabī in the year 88 AH/706-7 AD by the order of Walīd and by the hand of [[ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAziz]], the governor of [[the Two Holy Mosques]] (87-93 AH/705-6 - 711-2 AD), [[Ḥasan al-Muthannā]], the son of [[Imam Ḥasan Mujtabā(a)]], and [[Fatima, the daughter of Imam Ḥusayn(a)]], who lived there were forced out of it and the house was destroyed and then the house joined to the mosque.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', p. Vol. 2, P. 89-90.</ref>


Prophet's room
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.
[[Main:Prophet's room]]
The Prophet's(a) room, which is also known as the [[al-sharīfa room]], is the house where the Prophet and [[ʿĀʾisha]] lived. This room was next to Masjid al-Nabī and next to Fatima's house. [[Prophet Muḥammad (a)]] was buried in this house.
The dignity of the house of Fatima
According to a tradition, the Prophet (PBUH) used to come to the door of Fatimah’s house for forty days and put his hand on the door frame and say: “Peace be upon you, O people of the house; Peace be upon you, O Ahl al-Bayt” and then reads the verse of purification, which is about the purity of the Ahl al-Bayt from impurity. [14. Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā. Vol.2 p46. wāʾiẓ khargūshī, ʿAbdu  l- Malik. Sharaf al- Muṣṭafā. Vol 2.p445]
The narration of Sadwa al-Abab is also considered as one of the signs of the dignity of the house of Ali and Fatima (a.s.) and its residents. According to this narration, the Prophet (PBUH) ordered to close the doors of the houses that opened to the mosque, except the house of Ali (PBUH) and Fatima (PBUH).[15.Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-. ‘’Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa’vol 2.p205.’ Kulaynī, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb al-. ‘’Al-Rawḍa min al-kāfī’’vol 5p.340. Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā  vol 2.p63,67]
Also, based on a narration from the Prophet (PBUH), the house of Fatima is considered the best example of the houses mentioned in verse 36 of Surah Noor; There are houses in which God’s name is mentioned and the glorification of God is said in the morning and in the evening.[16.*Ṭabrisī, Faḍl b. al-Ḥasan al-. ‘’Majmaʿ al-bayān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān’’vol7.p227 .Majlisī, Muḥammad Bāqir al-. ‘’Biḥār al-anwār’’.vol23.p325.Majlisī, Muḥammad Bāqir al-. ‘’Mir’āt al-‘uqūl’’vol5.p68]
This house is one of the places where it is believed that Hazrat Fatimah (PBUH) was buried.[17.Ṣadūq, Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-. ‘’Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh’’vol 2.p572 .Ṭūsī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-. ‘’Tahdhīb al-aḥkāmvol.6.p.9’’Qāʾidān, Aṣghar. ‘’Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna p.208’’]

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.

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.
