The Shiite scholars believe that [[Lady Fatimah al-Zahra' (a)|Fatima's]] grave remained concealed due to her own will for a secret burial. As per the Shiite sources, Fatima requested to be buried in secrecy because she believed that the [[caliphate]] was illegitimately taken away from [[Imam Ali b. Abi Talib (a)|Imam 'Ali (a)]], [[Fadak]] was unlawfully seized from her, and Muslims failed to provide her with assistance. [[Al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] has noted in his book ''Dala'il al-imama'' that Fatima (a) had requested for her burial place to remain clandestine.<ref>One reason for the concealment of the grave, which is explicitly mentioned in Fatima al-Zahra’s will, is to perpetuate dissatisfaction with the government of the time throughout history, as this would pose the question why the resting place of the Prophet’s only daughter should remain unknown.</ref> | The Shiite scholars believe that [[Lady Fatimah al-Zahra' (a)|Fatima's]] grave remained concealed due to her own will for a secret burial.

'Ali b. 'Abd Allah al-Samhudi, a Sunni historiographer (d. 911/1505-6), maintains that a reason why Lady Fatima’s burial site remains unknown is that in the early Islamic period, graves were not often solidified by plaster and bricks. However, this is criticized because the graves of many [[Companions of the Prophet (s)|companions]] and relatives of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)|Prophet (s)]] are known. | 'Ali b.
