History
of
the
Cemetery
Of
Jannat
Al-Baqi
Where
Imam
Hasan
Ibn
Ali
(2nd
Imam),
Imam
Ali
Ibn
Al-Husayn
(4th
imam),
Imam
Muhammad
Ibn
Ali
(5th
imam),
&
Imam
Ja'far
Ibn
Muhammad
(6th
imam),
peace
be
upon
them,
are
buried
Many
of
our
Prophet's
relatives
and
companions.
The
first
companion
buried
in
Al-Baqi
was
Uthman
Ibn
Madhoon
who
died
on
the
3rd
of
Sha'ban
in
the
3rd
year
of
Hijrah.
The
Prophet
(s)
ordered
certain
trees
to
be
felled,
and
in
its
midst,
he
buried
his
dear
companion,
placing
two
stones
over
the
grave.
On
the
following
years,
the
Prophet's
son
Ibrahim,
who
died
in
infancy
and
over
whom
the
Prophet
(s)
wept
bitterly,
was
also
buried
there.
The
people
of
Madina
then
began
to
use
that
site
for
the
burial
of
their
own
dead,
because
the
Prophet
(s)
used
to
greet
those
who
were
buried
in
Al-Baqi
by
saying,
“Peace
be
upon
you,
O
abode
of
the
faithful!
God
willing,
we
should
soon
join
you.
O'
Allah,
forgive
the
fellows
of
al-Baqi”.
The
site
of
the
burial
ground
at
al-Baqi
was
gradually
extended.
Nearly
seven
thousand
companions
of
the
Holy
Prophet
(s)
were
buried
there,
not
to
mention
those
of
the
Ahlul
Bayt
(a).
Imam
Hasan
Ibn
Ali
(a),
Imam
Ali
Ibn
Al-Husayn
(a),
Imam
Muhammad
Al-Baqir
(a),
and
Imam
Ja'far
Al-Sadiq
(a)
were
all
buried
there.
Among
other
relatives
of
the
Prophet
(s)
who
were
buried
at
al-Baqi
are:
his
aunts
Safiya
and
Aatika,
and
his
aunt
Fatima
Bint
Al-Asad,
the
mother
of
Imam
Ali
(a).
The
third
caliph
Uthman
was
buried
outside
al-Baqi,
but
with
later
extensions,
his
grave
was
included
in
the
area.
In
later
years,
great
Muslim
scholars
like
Malik
Ibn
Anas
and
many
others,
were
buried
there
too.
In
front
of
it
is
the
grave
of
Ibrahim
son
of
our
Prophet
(s)
with
a
white
dome
over
it,
and
next
to
it
on
the
right
is
the
grave
of
Abdul-Rahman
son
of
Umar
bin
Al-Khattab,
popularly
known
as
Abu
Shahma
Facing
it
are
the
graves
of
Aqeel
bin
Abi
Talib
and
Abdullah
bin
Ja'far
Al-Tayyar.
There,
facing
those
graves
is
a
small
shrine
containing
the
graves
of
the
Prophet's
wives,
following
by
a
shrine
of
Abbas
bin
Abdul
Muttalib.
The
grave
of
Hasan
bin
Ali
(a),
situated
near
the
gate
to
it's
right
hand,
has
an
elevated
dome
over
it.
His
head
lies
at
the
feet
of
Abbas
bin
Abdul
Muttalib,
and
both
graves
are
raised
high
above
the
ground
At
the
farthest
end
of
al-Baqi
is
the
grave
of
the
caliph
Uthman,
with
a
small
dome
over
it,
and
there,
next
to
it,
is
the
grave
of
Fatima
bint
Asad,
mother
of
Ali
b.
Abi
Talib
(a)
