The '''House of Lady | The '''House of Lady Fāṭima (a)''' was a residence connected to the [[Prophet's (s) Mosque]], serving as the home of [[Imam Ali (a)]] and [[Lady Fatima (a)]]. Most Shiite scholars believe [[Burial Place of Lady Fatima (a)|her grave]] is located within her house. During the event of [[Sadd al-Abwab]] (the Closing of the Doors), God commanded the closure of all doors leading to the Prophet’s (s) Mosque, except for the door of this house, which was permitted to remain open. | ||
In a hadith transmitted from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]], it is stated that praying in this house holds greater virtue than praying in the [[Rawdat al-Nabi]] (the Prophet's (s) Chamber). This house was demolished during the [[Umayyad era]] to expand the Prophet's (s) Mosque and, along with the chamber where the [[Prophet (s)]] is buried, is now enclosed within a [[darih]] (a lattice structure). | In a hadith transmitted from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]], it is stated that praying in this house holds greater virtue than praying in the [[Rawdat al-Nabi]] (the Prophet's (s) Chamber).

According to both Shia and Sunni sources, after the [[Prophet's (s) demise]] and the [[event of Saqifa]], a group of the Prophet's (s) companions attacked Lady Fatima's house to compel Imam Ali (a) and others who had refused to pledge [[allegiance]] to [[Abu Bakr]] and had sought refuge there. Shia sources report that during this incident, the door of the house was set on fire, resulting in injuries that caused Fatima (a) to miscarry her unborn child, [[Al-Muhsin b. al-Imam Ali (a)|Muhsin (a)]]. Fatima herself succumbed to her injuries and was [[Martyrdom|martyred]] shortly thereafter. | According to both Shia and Sunni sources, after the [[Prophet's (s) demise]] and the [[event of Saqifa]], a group of the Prophet's (s) companions attacked Lady Fatima's house to compel Imam Ali (a) and others who had refused to pledge [[allegiance]] to [[Abu Bakr]] and had sought refuge there.

Some researchers believe that the attack on Lady Fatima's (a) house did not occur at the house near the mosque but rather at another house located farther away. According to [[Muhammad Sadiq Najmi]] (d. 2011) in his book ''Tarikh-i haram-i A'imma-yi Baqi''' (History of the Shrines of the Imams in Baqi'), certain historical accounts support this theory. One such account mentions that as Imam Ali (a) was being taken to the mosque to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr, people in the streets of Medina were observing the events. This report is documented in ''al-Saqifa wa Fadak'' by Ahmad b. 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Jawhari al-Basri (d. 323/935). Additionally, it is said that this house was located to the east of the Prophet's (s) Mosque, facing [[Baqi']], next to the house of [[Abu Ayyub al-Ansari]]. It reportedly included a courtyard, storage rooms, multiple chambers, and a large wooden door. | Some researchers believe that the attack on Lady Fatima's (a) house did not occur at the house near the mosque but rather at another house located farther away.

According to Sayyid Ja'far Murtada Amili (d. 1441/2019), an expert in Islamic and Shia history, it is impossible to determine the exact location of Lady Fatima's (a) grave. However, Shia scholars have proposed various possibilities regarding her burial site. As noted by Isma'il Ansari Zanjani in ''[[Al-Mawsu'at al-Kubra 'an Fatimat al-Zahra (book)|al-Mawsu'at al-kubra 'an Fatima al-Zahra]]'', most Shia scholars believe that Fatima (a) was buried in her own house. Additionally, [[Ayatollah Makarim Shirazi]] cites the phrase "al-nazila fi jiwarik" (the one who has settled near you), attributed to Imam Ali (a) during Fatima's (a) burial, as supporting the view that she was buried in her home. | |||

Fatima's (a) house was demolished during the reign of [['Abd al-Malik b. Marwan]] (reign: 65-86/685-705) or [[al-Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik]] (reign: 86-96/705-715) as part of the expansion of the Prophet’s (s) Mosque. This chamber, along with the one where the Prophet (s)was buried, was incorporated into the [[darih]] (lattice structure) surrounding the Prophet's (s) tomb. | |||
