-According to researches, there is no source available until 5th/[[11th century]] to show that there was a tomb or dome built upon the burial place of [[Lady Zaynab (a)]]. Only one source in 2nd/[[8th century]] refers to the existence of a pilgrimage site at the current location. According to the report of a woman related to [[Alawi]] families called [[Sayyida Nafisa]] bt. Hasan al-Anwar, a descendant of [[Imam Ali (a)]]; in [[193]]/808-9, she visited the pilgrimage site for Lady Zaynab (a) in Rawiya of [[Damascus]]. After this date, there is another report in [[500]]/1106-7 which mentions that a person from [[Aleppo]] built a [[mosque]] at the pilgrimage site for Lady Zaynab (a) in that year.

After this date, there is another report in [[500]]/1106-7 which mentions that a person from [[Aleppo]] built a [[mosque]] at the pilgrimage site for Lady Zaynab (a) in that year.
 However, after 7th/[[13th century]], a shrine and dome have been built at this location. Also, when Ibn Jubayr (d. [[614]]/1217-8), the famous tourist of the Islamic world, travelled to Damascus, he passed by Rawiya region and the current location of the shrine. In his report, he mentioned that the shrine belonged to [[Umm Kulthum bt. 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a)|Umm Kulthum]], daughter of Imam Ali (a). However, there is a possibility that Ibn Jubayr meant the second daughter of Imam Ali (a) which is [[Zaynab al-Sughra]], not Lady Zaynab (s) who is [[Zaynab al-Kubra]].
