Where is the grave of Sayyida Fatimah Al-Zahra (peace be upon her)?
Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away in Medina six months after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), being the first of his family to follow him. She was buried in Al-Baqi'. Ibn Sa'd mentioned that her death occurred on the night of Tuesday, the third of in the eleventh year of the Hijra, and her age was approximately twenty-nine years. She was the first for whom a coffin (na'sh) was made in Islam, designed by Asma bint Umays after she had seen something similar in Abyssinia. She was buried at night after quietness had settled, and Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) prayed over her. People differed regarding the location of her grave in Al-Baqi', but the most probable opinion is that she was buried in the corner of Aqil's house in Al-Baqi'.
