Considering that Fatimah al-Zahra was so sorrowful of her father's passing away and used to cry a lot for him,[8] then her husband Ali built a structure (Bayt al-Ahzan) for her to mourn her father there.[9][10]
Bayt al-Ahzan is considered the third probable place --after Al-Masjid an-Nabawi 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 (بَیْت) 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]
