'''The | '''The grave of Ismail b. Jafar (a)''' is the burial place of Ismail, the eldest son of [[Imam Jafar al-Sadiq]] (a), who passed away before his father. His body was buried in [[Medina]], in the [[Baqi Cemetery]]. For centuries, this shrine had a structure and a dome and was a place of visitation for pilgrims. It is said that the shrine was built on land that was previously the house of [[Imam al-Sajjad]] (a), and in its courtyard, there was a well from which people would drink for the healing of the sick. | ||
This shrine was destroyed in the year 1344 AH when the [[Wahhabis]] took control of [[Mecca]] and Medina. After this event, a simple wall was built around the grave until it was completely demolished during the construction of a road next to the cemetery. According to some reports, the body of Ismail was moved to another part of Baqi, near the grave of [[Umm al-Banin]] or near the graves of the Martyrs of Harra, or about 10 meters away from the grave of [[Halima al-Sadiyya]]. | This shrine was destroyed in the year 1344 AH when the [[Wahhabis]] took control of [[Mecca]] and Medina.

### **Destruction of the Dome** | |||
With the rise of the [[Wahhābī]] movement in the [[Arabian Peninsula]] and [[Medina]], the shrine of Ismāʿīl, like other mausoleums and domes, was demolished in 1344 AH. According to some later reports, a simple enclosure was constructed around the grave.<ref>Safar-nāma Makka, Ḥāj Sayyid Muḥammad Fāṭimī, in Fourteen Qājār-Era Hajj Travelogues, p. 996.</ref> It is said that the tomb was surrounded by plain walls without doors or windows, measuring 3x3 meters and 2.5 meters in height, located outside the [[Baqīʿ Cemetery]] at a distance of 15 meters west of its wall, directly opposite the graves of the Imāms (a).<ref>Tārīkh Ḥaram Aʾimmat al-Baqīʿ, pp. 289–290.</ref> | |||
