Fearing that those people who had not been allowed to attend Hazrat Fatima’s fiineral may do harm to her grave, Imam Ali (A.S) made several graves so that her true grave remained a secret.
There are four possible places where she could have been buried: First, in her own house, second, in the graveyard of Baqee in the area where our four Imams are buried; third, at a place between the Prophet’s grave and his Mimbar in the Mosque of the Prophet, and fourth, at the place in Baqee where Imam Ali (AS) had built a shelter for her so that she could weep for her father (Bayt-Ul-Huzn).
Today, when the followers of Hazrat Fatima (S.A) go to Medina, they show their respect to her by visiting all these places except at “Baytul Huzn” which has been totally wiped out by the “Wahhabis.”
As for the grave in the graveyard of Baqee, the “Wahhabis” destroyed the mausoleums in 1926.
