Fatima's house or room, is the house where Lady Fatima (a), the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (a), lived after marrying Imam 'Ali (a) and was located next to al-Masjid al-Nabawi and next to the house of the Prophet and 'A'isha. This house has been destroyed today and its current location is inside al-Masjid al-Nabawi and within the area of the Prophet's room and shrine.

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).

Fatima's house in al-Masjid al-Nabawi is one of the possible burial places of Lady Fatima (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 column 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 Tahjjud, ‌‌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 (Murabba'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 adding it to the mosque

This house remained until the time of Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik, the 'Umayya caliph (R: 86-96 AH/705-714-5 AD). In the expansion of al-Masjid al-Nabawi in the year 88 AH/706-7 AD by the order of Walid and by the hand of 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz, the governor of the Two Holy Mosques (87-93 AH/705-6 - 711-2 AD), Hasan al-Muthanna, the son of Imam Hasan 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]

Prophet's room

Main article: Prophet's room

The Prophet's (a) room, which is also known as the al-sharifa room, is the house where Prophet and 'A'isha lived. This room was next to al-Masjid al-Nabawi and next to Fatima's house. Prophet Muhammad (a) was buried in this house.

ّImportance of the house of Fatima

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 Taṭhir (purification), which is about the purity of the Ahl al-Bayt from impurity.[14]

The narration of Saddu 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, Prophet Muhammad ordered to close the doors of houses that opened to the mosque, except the house of 'Ali and Fatima (a).[15]

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. [16]

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