Fatima's house or room, the house where lady Fatima(a), the daughter of the Prophet Muḥammad (a) lived after marrying Imām ʿAlī(a) and was located next to Masjid al-Nabī and next to the house of the Prophet and ʿĀʾisha. This house has been destroyed today and its current location is inside Masjid al-Nabī and within the area of the Prophet's(a) room and shrine.

In the historical sources, another house is also mentioned in Medina next to the Baqīʿ cemetery for Imām ʿAlī(a). There is a different opinion about whether the events after the death of the Prophet took place in the house of Fatima or in the second house of Imām ʿAlī(a).

Fatima's house in Masjid al-Nabī is one of the possible burial places of lady Fatima.

location

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).[1] Behind this house from the north direction, there was the Tahajjud pillar[2] and next to that column there was the Tahajjud Miḥrāb,[3] where Prophet Muḥammad (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.[5] If someone stands in the Miḥrāb of Tahjjud, ‌‌Bāb-i Gibraʾīl is on his left.[6] and the of Maqām-i Gibraʾīl 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) chamber and shrine[8] the sum of these two is called the Holy Chamber and its area is about 240 square meters.[9]

The doors of the house

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 Ḥirs.[10] The door on the west side, which opens to the mosque, was located next to Maqām-i Gibraʾīl (The square pillar of the tomb).[11]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.[12]

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.[13]

Prophet's room

Main article: Prophet's room

The Prophet's(a) room, which is also known as the al-sharīfa room, is the house where 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.

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

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).[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]
