The Bab al-Saghir cemetery is situated close to the Umayyad Mosque and contains the graves of several eminent sahaba (companions of the Prophet (s.a.w.)) and pious predecessors.
- These are some of the personalities said to be buried here. Note that this is based on knowledge passed down and has not been independently verified:
- Note that the tombs of two of the wives of the Prophet (s.a.w.),Umm Salama and Ramlah bint Abi-Sufyan (aka Umm Habeebah) are present here but it is highly doubtful these are the actual tombs. The structures were likely to have been created to encourage ziyarat to the area. The vast majority of scholars are of the opinion that they are buried in Jannatul-Baqi in Madinah, along with most of the remaining wives (Ummahatul Mu’mineen) of the Prophet (s.a.w.)
- Note that this entry has been shown for information purposes only. On no account should anybody pray towards these graves or seek supplication through them as this is tantamount to committing shirk, associating partners with Allah (swt).
