{{main|The House of Lady Khadīja }}

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-Haram|Al-Masjid al-Ḥarām]].

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).<ref>Ibn Jubayr, ''Safarnāma Ibn Jubayr'', p. 81-82.</ref>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.<ref>Fāsī al-Makkī,''al-ʿaqd al-thamīn fī tārīkh al-balad al-ʾamīn'',vol. 1, p. 264; sanjārī, ''Manāʾiḥ al-karam'', Vol. 1, p. 228; Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1. p. 191.</ref> Batanūnī, who went to [[Hajj]] in 1327 AH/1909, described the Prophet's place of worship as a three by three meter room.<ref>Batanūnī,''al-Riḥla al-ḥijāzīyya'', p. 53.</ref>
