Template:Infobox Religious Building House of ʿAqīl (Persian: خانه‌ عقیل) or the Cemetery of Banū Hāshim (Persian: مقبره بنی‌هاشم) was one of the historical buildings in Medina and the burial place of some Banu Hashim figures in al-Baqi' Cemetery, which was demolished by the Wahhabis. ʿAqīl b. Abī Ṭālib had a large house in the southern part of al-Baqīʿ.[1] This house was built on lands that the Prophet (s) had distributed among the Muhajirun.[2]

According to a report, the Prophet (s) used to stand in a corner of this house and ask for forgiveness for the people of al-Baqīʿ.[3] Over time, this house became the burial place for the notables of Banu Hashim and was later annexed to al-Baqīʿ cemetery.[4]

This house is also known as the "Cemetery of Banū Hāshim".[5] The Imams of al-Baqi' and some other figures of Banu Hashim are buried in this house, including:

Some Shi'a scholars have suggested the possibility that Fatima al-Zahra (a) is also buried in the House of ʿAqīl.[8] According to the travelogue of Muhammad Husayn Farahani, a Qajar era poet and writer, between the years 1302/1884-5 and 1303/1885-6, there was a grave attributed to Lady Fāṭima (a) inside the mausoleum of the Imams of al-Baqīʿ (a), where both Shi'as and Sunnis performed Ziyara.[9]

Fatima bt. Asad, who passed away in the 4[10] or after the 8/629-30,[11] was the first person to be buried in this house.[12]

Based on a narration, Imam al-Sajjad (a) reconstructed this house around the year 65/684-5.[13] A mausoleum was built over the graves of those buried in this house. This mausoleum was among the Mausoleums of al-Baqi'[14] which was destroyed during the Wahhabi attack on al-Baqīʿ in 1344/1925-6.[15]
