فَقَالَ ع حُبّاً وَ كَرَامَةً فَأَقْبَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ هِيَ لَا تُفِيقُ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ وَ لَا يَنْفَعُ فِيهَا الْعَزَاءُ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ سَكَنَتْ هُنَيْئَةً لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا يَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ شُيُوخَ الْمَدِينَةِ يَسْأَلُونِّي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكِ إِمَّا أَنْ تَبْكِينَ أَبَاكِ لَيْلًا وَ إِمَّا نَهَاراً He -asws said: ‘Love and prestige (to you all)!’ Amir Al-Momineen -asws came until he -asws entered to see (Syeda) Fatima -asws , and she -asws was neither waking up (pausing) from the crying nor was the consoling beneficial to her -asws .

فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مَا أَقَلَّ مَكْثِي بَيْنَهُمْ وَ مَا أَقْرَبَ مَغِيبِي مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِهِمْ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَا أَسْكُتُ لَيْلًا وَ لَا نَهَاراً أَوْ أَلْحَقَ بِأَبِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص She -asws said: ‘O Abu Al-Hassan -asws ! How little is my -asws stay amongst them, and how near is my -asws absence from their midst . By Allah -azwj !

I -asws will neither be silent at night nor at daytime, or I -asws join with my -asws father -saww Rasool-Allah -saww !’ فَقَالَ لَهَا عَلِيٌّ ع افْعَلِي يَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا بَدَا لَكِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ بَنَى لَهَا بَيْتاً فِي الْبَقِيعِ نَازِحاً عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ يُسَمَّى بَيْتَ الْأَحْزَانِ وَ كَانَتْ إِذَا أَصْبَحَتْ قَدَّمَتِ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع أَمَامَهَا وَ خَرَجَتْ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ بَاكِيَةً فَلَا تَزَالُ بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ بَاكِيَةً Ali -asws said to her -asws : ‘O daughter -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww , do whatever comes to you -asws ’.

Then he -asws built a room for her -asws in Al-Baqie (cemetery), remote from Al-Medina, named as ‘ بَيْتَ الْأَحْزَانِ ’ ‘The house of griefs’, and it was so that whenever it was morning, she -asws would place Al-Hassan -asws and Husayn -asws in front of her -asws and would go out to Al-Baqie crying. So, she -asws would not cease to be between the graves, crying.
