Merits
Sayyid Abd al-A'la al-Sabzawari writes that visiting the grave of Lady Khadijah (s.a.) at al-Mu'alla is recommended: she is the mother of the Muslims, and visiting a mother's grave after she has gone is part of a child's kindness to her. She gave all her effort and her wealth in the service of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the spread of his message.
Shaykh Ali Kashif al-Ghita records this ziyarat in Murshid al-Anam li-Hajj Bayt Allah al-Haram (vol. 1, p. 134).
Lady Khadijah (s.a.) died on the 10th of Ramazan, three years before the Hijrah, in the year the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) called the Year of Grief, and is buried in Jannat al-Mu'alla in Makkah.
