Bayt al-Ahzan (Arabic: بیت الأحزان) literally means "the house of sorrows",[1][2] is a structure which has been destroyed in the Al-Baqi' cemetery in the city of Medina.[3][4] Bayt al-Ahzan is located at the south of ‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib;[5][6] and likewise behind the court of four Shia Imams in Baqi', namely: Hasan ibn Ali, Zayn al-Abidin, Muhammad al-Baqir and Ja'far as-Sadiq.[7]
Considering that Fatimah al-Zahra's was so sorrowful of his father's passing away and used to cry a lot for him,[8] then Ali ibn Abi Talib built a construction (Bayt al-Ahzan) for her to mourn for her father there.[9][10]
Bayt al-Ahzan is considered to be the third probable place --after Masjid-al-Nabi and al-Baqi' cemetery-- to be the grave place of Fatimah's grave.[11][12] This building was demolished after the (second) attack of Wahhabists to Hejaz and the occupation of Medina in 1926 (1344 A.H.).[13]
Meaning
The word "Bayt" (Arabic: بیت) in Arabic means home,[14] and the word "Ahzan" is the plural form of Hozn (sorrow) which means sorrows;[15] and this phrase (Bayt al-Ahzan) altogether means the home of sorrows.[16]
