==ّImportance of the house of Fatima==
==Importance==
According to a Narrative, Prophet(a) used to come to the door of Fatima's house for forty days and put his hand on the door frame and say: “اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیکُم یا اهلَ الْبَیت; Peace be upon you, Peace be upon you, O Ahl al-Bayt(people of the house)” and then reads [[the verse of Taṭhīr]] (purification), which is about the purity of the [[Ahl al-Bayt]] from impurity.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', Vol. 2, p. 46. wāʿiẓ khargūshī, ''Sharaf al- Muṣṭafā'', Vol. 2, p. 445.</ref>
According to a narration, the Prophet (s) went to the door of Fatima's house for forty days and put his hand on the frame of the door and said: "{{ia|اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیکُم یا اهلَ الْبَیت}} peace be upon you, O Ahl al-Bayt (people of the house)" and then recited [[al-Tathir Verse]].<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ'', vol. 2, p. 46. Wāʿiẓ Khargūshī, ''Sharaf al- Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 445.</ref>


The narration of [[Saddū al-Abwāb]] is also considered as one of the signs of importance of the house of Imam ʿAlī and Fātīma(a) and its residents. According to this narration, Prophet Muḥammad ordered to close the doors of houses that opened to the mosque, except the house of ʿAlī and Fātīma(a).<ref>Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 2, p. 205; Kulaynī, ''Al-Rawḍa min al-kāfī'', vol. 5, p. 340; Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 63,67.</ref>

Also, based on a narration from Prophet(a), the house of Fatima is considered the best example of the houses mentioned in verse 36 of Surah al-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. <ref>Ṭabrisī, Majmaʿ al-bayān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān vol. 7, p. 227; Majlisī, ''Biḥār al-anwār'', vol. 23, p. 325; Majlisī, ''Mirʾāt al-ʿuqūl'', vol. 5; p. 68.</ref>

In the historical sources, another house is also mentioned in Medina next to the al-Baqi' cemetery for Imam 'Ali (a). There is a different opinion about whether the events after the demise of the Prophet (s) took place in the house of Fatima (a) or in the house of Imam 'Ali (a).

Location

The house of Fatima (a), which is also known as the house of Imam 'Ali (a), was located behind the house of the Prophet (a) (the house of 'A'isha).[1] Behind this house from the north direction, there was the pillar of Tahajjud[2] and next to that pillar there was the Mihrab of Tahajjud,[3] where Prophet Muhammad (a) used to spend the night in that place and pray at night, [4] and now it is the north side of the Prophet's (s).[5] If someone stands in the Mihrab of Tahjjaud, ‌‌Bab Jibra'il is on his left.[6] and the of Maqam Jibra'il is on his right.[7]

This house was destroyed and now there is no trace of it. Its current location is inside the Prophet's (a) room and shrine[8] the sum of these two is called the al-Hujra al-Tahira and its area is about 240 square meters.[9]

Doors

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 Wufud and Hars.[10] The door on the west side, which opens to the mosque, was located next to Maqam Jibra'il (Murba'at al-Qabr Pillar).[11]The door that is now known as the door of Fatima's house on the side of ‌‌Bab Jibra'il is the same door that opened to the alley.[12]

Demolition of Fatima's House and Addition to al-Masjid al-Nabawi

This house remained until the time of al-Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik, the 'Umayya caliph (Ruled: 86/705-96/714-5). In the expansion of al-Masjid al-Nabawi in the year 88/706-7 by the order of al-Walid and by 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz, the governor of Mecca and Medina at the time, al-Hasan al-Muthanna, the son of Imam al-Hasan al-Mujtaba (a), and Fatima, the daughter of Imam Husayn (a), who lived there were forced out of it and the house was destroyed and then the house joined to the mosque.[13]

Importance

According to a narration, the Prophet (s) went to the door of Fatima's house for forty days and put his hand on the frame of the door and said: "اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیکُم یا اهلَ الْبَیت peace be upon you, O Ahl al-Bayt (people of the house)" and then recited al-Tathir Verse.[14]

Sadd al-Abwab is also considered as one of the signs of importance of the house of Imam 'Ali and Fatima (a) and its residents. According to this narration, the Prophet (s) ordered all the doors of the houses that opened to the mosque to be closed, except for the house of 'Ali and Fatima (a).[15]

Also, based on a narration from Prophet (s), the house of Fatima is considered the best example of the houses mentioned in verse 36 of Sura al-Noor; "In houses Allah has allowed to be raised and wherein His Name is celebrated; He is glorified therein, morning and evening".[16]

This house is one of the places where it is believed that Fatima (a) was buried.[17]
