Fatima (a) was born in [[Mecca]] in the Prophet's (s) house. There are different reports about her birthday in Shi'a and Sunni sources. Sunnis believe that she was born five years before [[Bi'tha]]/605, in the year that [[Ka'ba]] was rebuilt.<ref>Ayati, ''Chikida-yi tarikh-i payambar-i Islam'', p.35</ref> Al-Ya'qubi writes that she was 23 at her demise.<ref>Al-Ya'qubi, ''Tarikh al-Ya'qubi'', trans. Ayati, vol.1, p.512</ref> According to this report she must have been born on the year of Bi'tha/610.
