Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ and a number of our people from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from al-Qasim ibn Salim who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘If you enter (the Masjid of the Holy Prophet) through the door of al-Baqi‘, the house of Ali (a.s.), is on your left side, a goat’s passage away from the door.

It is by the side of the house of the Messenger of Allah. The doors of both houses are close by.”’ جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/268))
