During different expansions of Masjid al-Nabi (the Mosque of the Prophet) in different Islamic periods, parts of the historical structure of Medina were destroyed and added to the area of the mosque. One of the earliest changes made in the District of Banu Hashim happened in 91/709 when the mosque was expanded, at the command of [[Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik]], the [[Umayyad]] [[caliph]], on its eastern side where the Prophet's (s) chambers were located. He ordered that a wall be constructed around the Prophet's (s) grave and the mosque be expanded on that side as well. When the people of Medina heard about the destructions, they started to moan and cry. At that time, Fatima's (a) house was resided by [[Fatima al-Sughra]], the daughter of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]]. People protested because they wanted to preserve the relics of the Prophet (s) so that future generations know about his simple life. [[Sa'id b. Musayyib]] said: "I wish the houses remained as they were so that visitors of Medina saw how parsimonious the Prophet (s) was, and how he instructed people to avoid gathering money and adopt asceticism instead." | During different expansions of Masjid al-Nabi (the Mosque of the Prophet) in different Islamic periods, parts of the historical structure of Medina were destroyed and added to the area of the mosque.
