A member of the Prophet's family held in Shia popular tradition to be a daughter of Husayn, said to have died at Baalbek as the Karbala captives' caravan passed through. Her blue-tiled, gold-minareted shrine at the southern entrance of Baalbek is an important ziyaret site. Her historicity is disputed: both WikiShia and Arabic Wikipedia note she is not mentioned in classical historical sources; as no corroborated numeric coordinate could be confirmed by two sources, the location is left null.
