lady Khadīja’s house
The house of lady Khadīja(a), the Prophet’s wife, in Mecca, was the same house where the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) lived after marrying Khadīja(a) until he migrated to Medina. This house has disappeared today and it is inside the Al-Masjid al-Ḥarām.
Dome of Revelation
The building known as Khadīja’s house in Mecca had two domes in the descriptions that survived from the 6th century AH onwards. One is a larger dome called the Dome of Revelation(Qubba al-Waḥy), which was the place where the Prophet and Khadīja lived, and the place where Gabriel descended upon the Prophet, and the other is a small dome, where lady Fatima(a) was born(Mawlīd Fatīma).[1]Other sources until the 14th century have continued to talk about the existence of the revelation dome or a room as the Prophet’s place of worship in Khadīja’s house.[2] Batanūnī, who went to Hajj in 1327 AH/1909, described the Prophet's place of worship as a three by three meter room.[3]
