'''Lady Khadija's House''', (Arabic: {{ia|دار السيدة خديجة}}, Dar al-Sayyida Khadija), in [[Mecca]], was the house where the Prophet(s) lived after marrying [[Lady Khadija]] until he migrated to [[Medina]]. This house was the [[Mawlid Fatima|birthplace of Lady Fatima(a)]] and other children of Khadija, and many [[Meccan verses]] of the [[Quran]] were also revealed to the Prophet(s) in that house, and also Khadija died in this house. Since the 6th/12th century, this place has been also known in sources as Lady Fatima's birthplace. Since then, there has been two domes in this house. One was called [[Qubbat al-Wahy]] and it was built on a room that was considered the place of worship of the Prophet(s) and the place where [[Gabriel]] descended on the Prophet. The other dome was built over a room that was said to be Lady Fatima's birthplace.
