The Ahl al-Bayt and Relatives of the Prophet Buried in Baqi

Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him), Imam Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin (peace be upon him), Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (peace be upon him), and Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) are buried there, along with Fatimah bint Asad, the mother of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), and Abbas, the uncle of the Prophet. They are buried opposite the main entrance of Baqi, toward the south on the right side.

The daughters of the Prophet—Zaynab, Ruqayyah, and Umm Kulthum—are buried in front of the main entrance, a short distance away from it.

Also buried in Baqi are Aqil ibn Abi Talib, Abdullah ibn Ja‘far ibn Abi Talib, Umm al-Banin (peace be upon her), the mother of Abbas, Halimah al-Sa‘diyyah, the Prophet’s foster mother, Safiyyah, the Prophet’s aunt, Jumana, the Prophet’s aunt, and Arwa, the Prophet’s aunt.

Although it is widely believed that Atikah, another aunt of the Prophet, is buried in Baqi, historical sources do not provide confirmed reports about this.

Among the wives of the Prophet buried in Baqi are Umm Salamah, Hafsah, Zaynab bint Jahsh, Zaynab bint Khuzaymah, Safiyyah bint Huyayy, Aisha bint Abi Bakr, and Mariyah al-Qibtiyyah. They are buried to the north of the graves of the Prophet’s daughters, about eight meters to the right.
