Golden Sayings & Speeches of Hazrat Bibi Fatima Tu Zahra a.s.
Asalamoalaka ya Hazrat Bibi Fatima Tu Zahra a.s.
Hazrat Bibi Fatima tu Zahra a.s had to lead, addressing her father, the Holy Prophet, standing before his grave, said :- "Oh! Father dear! After thee, fell on me such miseries that had they fallen on bright days, the bright days would have turned into darkest nights.
Allah, the Exalted said: "If anyone disputes in this matter with thee, now
after (full) knowledge hath come to thee, say: `Come! Let us gather together;
our sons arid your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves.
Then let us invoke the curse of God on those who lie!'" (3: 61)
This event is famous and is known to all Muslims. Islamic scholars are united
on the fact that it was revealed in regard to the Christian delegation who
came from Najran to dispute the issue of Isa Ibn Maryam (A.S.) with the
Prophet (P.B.U.H.). In v.6 of Bihar, Imam Ali (A.S.) mentioned the event in
the following manner: A delegation of Najrani Christians led by three
prominent men, Al-Aqib, Muhsen, and the Archbishop; these meet along with two
prominent jews came to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). They intended to argue with
him; the archbishop started: "Abu Al-Qasim, who was Musa's father?" The
Prophet answered: "Imran." The archbishop then said: "Who was Yusufs father?"
The Prophet answered: "Yaqoub." The archbishop continued: "May I be your
sacrifice; who is your father?" The Prophet answered: "Abdullah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib."
Then the archbishop asked: "Who is Isa's (Jesus) father?" The Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
waited a moment while Gabriel revealed the following to him: "(Say) he was the
Spirit of Allah and His Word."
The archbishop then asked: "Can he be a spirit without having a body?" Again a
revelation was sent to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) the revelation is as follows:
"The similitude of Isa before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from
dust, then said to him: `Be.' And he was." When the archbishop heard this, he
jumped in objection to the Prophet saying that Isa (A.S.) was created from
dust, and said: "Muhammad, We don't find this to be in the Torah, the Bible,
or in the Zabour. You are the first one to say this." This was the moment that
the verse of Mubahala was revealed. After the delegation had heard the verse,
they said: "Assign for us a solemn meeting (in which every side supplicates to
Allah to curse the other side if they are followers of falsehood)." The
Prophet's answer to this was: "Tomorrow morning, if Allah wills."
The next morning, the Prophet finished his morning prayers and ordered Ali to
follow him and Fatima, in turn, holding Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain to follow
Ali.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) then told them: "When I supplicate you should say:
Amen."
When the delegation saw the holy family and that the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) had
spread a mat for himself and family, they said to each other: "By Allah, he is
a true Prophet; and if he curses us, surely Allah will answer his prayer and
destroy us. The only thing that can save us, is to ask him to relieve us from
this meeting." Razi, in his interpretation of the Holy Quran states: 'The
Archbishop said: "O Christians, I surely see faces of men, who if they were to
ask Allah to move a mountain, He would surely do it. Do not hold this meeting,
or you shall be destroyed and no Christian will remain on Earth until the Day
of Resurrection."
The delegation proceeded toward the Messenger and said: "Abu Al-Qasim, relieve
us (from this) solemn meeting." The Prophet said: "Indeed I will; but the One
who sent me with righteousness is my witness that had I cursed you, Allah
would not have left a Christian on the face of the earth."
This has been a summary of the story. What matters to us here, is Allah's
saying in the verse: "Our women and your women." All Muslims have agreed that
the Prophet took Ali with him to represent "ourselves," Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain
to represent "Our Sons," and Fatima Zahra to represent "Our Women," It is also
a given fact that he did not accompany any other woman including his wives,
his aunts, or any other Muslim women. This proves that there was not a woman
as excellent, great, holy, and chaste as Fatima (A.S.) was. The Prophet called
Fatima alone to join him, because she was the only woman capable of fulfilling
the qualifications of the verse.
Allah appointed him (as apostle) so that he may complete and finalise His matter and Implement His order and materialize His decrees and predestinates
Depriving a rightful person of his rights brings destruction which is sad state of affairs .
Never lose patience for undue treatment from tyrants & usurpers .
O Fatimah(a.s.) intercede for us in heaven since you have reached a dignified status from a high rank with Allah(swt)
When there is contest b/w right & wrong , staying behind cannot be acceptable .
((One of his (Rasoolollaah) companions went to her (Faatimah) home when she was grinding barley and reciting: “And what is with Allaah is better and more lasting[12]”. So she put on an old worn-out cloak that had been patched in twelve places with palm leaves.When she came out, Salmaan looked at her cloak and cried, saying: What a sadness; the Roman and Persian emperors are covered with sarcenet and silk, and Mohammad’s daughter is covered with an old worn-out woolen cloak patched in twelve places. Later when Faatimah met with the Prophet, she told him: O Rasoolollaah! Salmaan was surprised to see this dress. I swear by Him Who gave you the mission, in the past five years cAli and I have only had one animal skin on which our camel feeds during the day and we sleep during the night; and our pillow is of animal skin stuffed with leaves[13].)).
((The Prophet had prepared a new dress for Faatimah for her wedding night, as she only had a patched dress.And before the wedding, suddenly a beggar came to the door saying: I ask from the House of Prophethood a worn-out dress. So she wanted to give him her old patched dress, but she remembered the holy aayah[18]: “By no means shall you attain to righteousness until you spend (benevolently) out of what you love[19]” ; thus she gave out her wedding dress instead, and decided to wear her old patched dress in her wedding[20].)).
((After Rasoolollaah’s death a man came to Faatimah, saying: O Daughter of Rasoolollaah! Did Rasoolollaah leave anything with you that I can see? Faatimah said to her student: O Feddah! Bring me that piece of silken cloth. So she looked for it but could not find it. Faatimah: Woe on to you! Find it. To me it equals Hasan and Hosayn!! When she found the cloth, it was written on it: Prophet Mohammad said: He is not a believer whose neighbor is not safe from his calamity; and whoever believes in Allaah and the Hereafter should not annoy his neighbor; and whoever believes in Allaah and the Hereafter should say good things or remain silent. Indeed Allaah loves him who is charitable, forbearing and abstinent; and hates him who swears, uses obscene language and is a persistent demander. Indeed shyness is of faith and faith is in Heaven; and indeed indecency is of obscenity and obscenity is in Hell[24].)).
((I said to Faatimah: O my Lady, I want to ask you a question that stammers in my chest.
Faatimah: Ask.
Aboo cOmar: Did Rasoolollaah appoint cAli as the Khaleefah before his death?
Faatimah: What a surprise! Have you forgotten the day of Ghadeer Khom?!
Aboo cOmar: No my Lady; but I want to know what Rasoolollaah told you.
Faatimah: I hold the Almighty Allaah as my witness that I heard him say: cAli is the best person whom I leave with you. And he is the Imaam and the Khaleefah after me. And my two grandsons and nine of Hosayn’s lineage are A’emmah[64].
If you follow them, you will find them learned leaders; and if you disobey them, there will be great conflict among you[65] until the Day of Judgment.
Aboo cOmar: O my Lady! so why did he (Ali) not get back his right?
Faatimah: O Abaa cOmar! Rasoolollaah said: The example of cAli is that of the Kacbah; people go to it and it does not go to people. Then she said:
But they gave precedence to whom Allaah had held back; and held back whom Allaah had given precedence to…
They appointed [a khaleefah] with their desire and acted according to their decisions. Woe unto them; have not they heard the Almighty Allaah say: “And your Lord creates and chooses whom He pleases; to choose is not theirs[66]”. They did hear, but as Allaah says: “For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which are in the chests[67]”.
It has been narrated that she said: ((The two fathers of this nation are Mohammad and cAli. They straighten its bends, and deliver it from the continuous punishment (Hell) if it obeyed them; and they bring it the continuous bliss (Heaven) if it followed them[70].)).
Bakri scholars narrate: ((Faatimah said to Asmaa’ bint cOmays (her student, and Aboo Bakr’s wife): I hate what is done with the body of a dead woman—they spread a cloth over her, and it shows her body. Asmaa’: O Daughter of Rasoolollaah! Do you want me to show you what I had seen in Ethiopia? Then she asked for some fresh palm branches striped of their leaves, she curved them and covered them with a cloth. Faatimah said: How great and nice this is! It dose not distinguish a woman from a man! So when I die, you and cAli wash me; and do not let anyone else enter the house. And when she died, cAa’eshah wanted to enter, but Asmaa told her: Do not come in. So she went to Aboo Bakr, complaining: This Khathcami[8] woman stands between us and Rasoolollaah’s daughter, and she has made for her something like a bride’s howdah. Aboo Bakr came and stood at the door, and said: O Asmaa’! what made you stop the Prophet’s wives from entering Faatimah’s home?! And why have you made a bride’s howdah for her?! Asmaa’: She ordered me not to let anyone inside. And when she was alive, I showed her this, and she ordered me to make one for her[9].)). [9] al-Esteecaab / Ibn cAbdelbarr = vol. 4, page 1897. Dhakhaa’er al-cOqbaa / al-Tabari = page 53.
Bakri scholars also narrate a most important and remarkable hadeeth from Salmaa, one of Faatimah’s students, without actually realizing its significance: ((In her illness, one morning Faatimah woke up in the best state we had ever seen her during her infirmity; and when cAli ibn Abi Taalib went out, she said: O woman! Pour some water for me to perform a ghosl[10]. Thus she performed the best ghosl I had ever seen her perform.
She then said: Give me my new clothes, so I gave them to her.
She then came to the room, and said: Spread my mattress in the middle of the room; and she lied down, putting her right hand under her right cheek, facing the Qeblah (direction of the Kacbah).
She then said: O woman! I will shortly die. No one should uncover me, and no one should perform the Ghosl of the Deceased[11] on me. So she died where she was lying, and I told cAli what she had ordered me, and he said: By Allaah! No one will uncover her. He then carried her and buried her without performing the ghosl on her[12].)). [12] Dhakhaa’er al-cOqbaa / al-Tabari = page 53. Mosnad / Ahmad = vol. 6, page 461. Osd al-Ghaabah / Ibn al-Atheer = vol. 5, page 590. al-Tabaqaat al-Kobraa / Ibn Sacd = vol. 8, page 27.
((One day a woman came to Faatimah and said: I have an old weak mother who has made a mistake in her salaat, and has sent me to you to ask about it. So Faatimah answered the mother’s question.
And the woman asked a second question and a third question and a fourth question, until she asked her tenth question. Then wanting to ask yet more questions, she said to Faatimah: I do not want to annoy you more O Daughter of Rasoolollaah!
Faatimah: Come and ask whatever questions you wish to ask. Would it be difficult for a person who is hired for one hundred thousand gold Deenaars to take a heavy load to the roof?!
The woman: No.
Faatimah: I was hired for more than what fills between the earth and the Arsh with pearls for every question I answer. So it is more appropriate for me not to feel the heavy load of these questions.
I heard my father say: When the scholars of our followers are resurrected, robes of honor are put on them to the extent of their knowledge, and their seriousness in guiding their people, such that any one of them would be given one million robes of light[27].
Then an angel announces: O you crowd of guardians of the orphans of Mohammad’s descendants! The revivers of the orphans after they were separated from their fathers who were their A’emmah[28]. These are your students and the orphans whom you guarded and revived and clothed with the robes of knowledge in the previous world.
The scholars are then given robes of light to the extent of what they had taught their orphans. They are given as many as one hundred thousand robes for a particular student.
And then the students themselves are given robes to the extent of what they had taught their own students.
Later Allah says: Repeat the process and give them more… So every teacher is given robes to the extent of what he had taught his students, and his students are then given robes to the extent of what they had taught their students, and so on.
Then Fatima said: O Servant of Allah! A thread of those robes is a million times more valuable than what the sun shines upon[29].)).
1-[29] ((O Allaah! Protect us with Your eye which does not go to sleep; and Your support which will never be weaken; and with Your great names. And descend Your Blessing upon Mohammad and his descendents. And protect for us that which would be lost if someone other than You protects it; and conceal for us that which would be known if someone other than you conceals it; and make all of this conformable for us. You are indeed a Listener to the Docaa’, and a Fast Responder[30].)).
2-[31] ((Praise be to Allah, He Whose Praise cannot be culminated by those who commend. And praise be to Allah, He Whose gifts cannot be counted by those whose expertise is to count. And praise be to Allah, He who cannot be recompensed by the continuous worship of the devout worshipers.
And there is no God except Allah, the First and the Last. And there is no God except Allah, the Evident and the Hidden. And there is no God except Allah, the Giver of Life and the Taker of Life.
And Allah is Greater, the Almighty. And Allah is Greater, the Eternal.
And praise be to Allah, He whose knowledge cannot be comprehend by the knowledgeable; and whose forbearance cannot be weakened by the ignorant; and whose praise cannot be culminated by those whose expertise is to praise; and whose attributes cannot be described by those whose expertise is to describe; and whose qualities cannot be adequately explained by His creatures.
And praise be to Allah, He who has the reign and the kingdom; and the grandeur and the mightiness; and the pride and the exaltedness; and the magnificence and the gravity; and the beauty and the prestige; and the power and the strength; and the force and the grace; and the victory and the merit; and the might and the justice; and the truth and the noble character; and the eminence and the highness; and the glory and the virtue; and the wisdom and the sufficiency; and the profusion and the expansion and the contraction; and the forbearance and the knowledge; and the conclusive proof; and the encompassing benefaction; and the graceful and beautiful commendation; and the noble spiritual gifts. The king of this world and the Hereafter and the Heaven and the Hell and all of what they include. Blessed be Him, Allah, and be He raised far above.
Praise be to Allah, He Who knows the secrets of the invisibles; and is aware of the sins that the hearts commit; so there is no way of escape and getaway from Him.
And praise be to Allah, He Who is the Proud in His rule; and is the Venerated in His Place; and is the Haughty in his Reign; and the Powerful in his Assault; and is the High over his Arsh; and is the Informed of His people; and attains whatever He wishes.
And praise be to Allah, He by Whose command the massive skies were upheld; and the flat lands became firm; and the unshakable deep-rooted mountains stood erect; and the pollinating air flew; and the clouds moved in the sky; and the seas stood at their limits; and the hearts became apprehensive of His fear; and the lords were subdued by His Lordship.
Blessed You are, O Who counts the rain drops; and the leaves of the trees; and the Giver of life to the corps of the dead for the resurrection.
Glory be to You, O You Who possesses the Exaltedness and Honor; what would You do to the stranger, the destitute if he came to You appealing for aid and asking for help?
What would You do to the one who remains at Your Court; and exposes himself to Your Approval; and comes to You, until he kneels between Your Hands, complaining to You of the things that are not hidden from You?
So do not let O my Lord! the outcome of my invocation to be deprivation, and nor my share of what I wish from you to be disappointment.
O He Who has not and will not vanish; and has been and will continue to be watching every soul as to what it attains.
O He Who has made the days of this world to pass, and its months to change, and its years to go round. And You are the Everlasting. The times do not afflict You, and nor do the worlds.
O He to Whom every day is new; and by Him every means of living for the weak and the strong and the tough are prepared. You have divided the means of living for the creatures, and have equaled between the small ant and the bird.
I ask of You O Allah! By these praises to forgive me, and pardon me, and cloth my body with health, and grant me soundness in my religion.
Thus I ask of You and I am confident of Your Response; and I call upon You and I know that You can hear my call; so listen to my call, and do not sever my hope, and do not refuse my laudatory, and do not block my call. I am in need of Your Satisfaction and of Your Forgiveness. I ask of You and I am not disheartened of Your Mercy, and call upon You while I am not being cautious of Your Discontentment.
O Lord! Fulfill my requests, and have favor on me with Your Forgiveness; and take my life as a Moslem and join me with the good. O Lord! Do not forbid me Your Kindness, O Beneficent! And do not make me depend on myself in abandonment, O Compassionate!
O Lord! Be Merciful to me when I leave my beloveds and die, and when I stay alone in my grave, and when I am a stranger in the desert on the Day of Resurrection, and when I stand in poverty between Your Hands in Your Court of justice.
O Lord! I seek refuge to You from the Fire, so give me refuge. O Lord! I seek Your Protection from the Fire, so protect me. I run to You from the Fire, so take me away.
O Lord! Being anguished, I seek Your Mercy, so have Mercy on me; O Lord! I seek Your Forgiveness for when I was ignorant, so forgive me.
Indeed docaa’ for my need has taken me to You, so do not disappoint me, O Bountiful! He Who has the Gifts, and the Benevolence and the Overlooking.
O My Master! O Beneficent! O Merciful! Grant my request amongst those who pray humbly to You; and have Mercy on my tears amongst those who cry to You; and on the day I leave this world, make my meeting with You as my Comfort; and conceal amongst the dead O He in Whom there are great wishes, my shameful acts; and have Compassion for me when I am being moved to my grave alone. You are my hope, and You are the one Whom I ask my needs from, and the one Who knows what I am going to ask Him; so fulfill my needs, O Fulfiller of needs!
So, to You is the complaint, and You are the Helper and the Giver of hope. I run to You fleeing from the sins, so accept me; and I seek refuge from Your Justice to Your Forgiveness, so aid me; and I seek shelter to Your Forgiveness from Your Assault so keep me away from it; and I seek Your Mercy from Your Punishment, so rescue me; and I seek to get close to You by Islam, so get me close.
And from the greater fear, so keep me safe; and in the shadow of Your Arsh, so shade me; and two shares of Your Mercy, so present to me; and safely from this world, so deliver me; and from the darkness to the light, so send me; and on the Day of Resurrection, so brighten my face; and with a light questioning, so question me; and with what I have concealed, so do not expose me; and for Your Affliction, so give me patience.
And just as You diverted the evil and the adultery from Yoosof[32], so divert it from me; and what I do not have the capacity for, so do not load on my shoulder; and to the House of Peace, so guide me; and by the Qor’aan, so benefit me; and by the firm belief, so make me firm; and from the accursed Shaytaan[33], so keep me safe; and by Your Strength and Power and Might, so shield me; and by Your Forbearance and Knowledge and broad Mercy, so rescue me from Hell; and in Your Heaven of Ferdaws, so house me; and looking at Your Face, so bestow upon me; and with Your Prophet Mohammad, so join me; and from the Shayaateen[34] and their followers and from all those who possess evil, so keep me away…[35])).
3-[36] ((Glory be to Him for Whose Greatness everything became humble. Glory be to Him for Whose High Standing everything became low. Glory be to Him to Whose Control and Rule everything yielded. Glory be to Him Who is obeyed by everything.
Praise be to Allah Who does not forget whoever remembers Him. Praise be to Allah Who does not disappoint whoever prays to Him. Praise be to Allah Who is Sufficient for those who rely on Him.
Praise be to Allah Who is the Thickener of the sky; and the Builder of the earth; and Who limits the seas; and Who piles up the mountains; and Who creates the animals; and Who creates the trees; and who opens the earth’s springs; and Who arranges things; and Who moves the clouds; and Who causes the wind and the water and the fire to flow from the earth up to sky; and Who descends the heat and the cold.
The one with Whose Gift the good deeds are completed; and by thanking Him they are increased; and by His Order the skies started to exist; and by His Greatness the unshakable mountains stood; and the wild animals glorified Him in the deserts and the birds in the nests.
O Allah! I ask You by Your stored name, the pleasant, the pure, the one by which the skies and the earth started to exist; and the darkness was lit for it; and the angels glorified for it; and the hearts feared it; and the necks became humble for it; and the one by which You brought the dead back to life; to forgive every sin that I committed in the darkness of the night and in the light of the day, intentionally or inadvertently, in secrecy or in public; and to give me a conviction, and a guidance, and a light, and a knowledge, and an understanding so that I may implement your book, and allow what it allows, and prohibit what it prohibits; and to perform what You have made mandatory for me, and to practice Your prophet’s tradition.
O Allah! Join me with the virtuous of those who have passed away, and make me one of the virtuous of those who remain alive; and finish my deeds at its best; for You are the Most Forgiving and the Most Merciful.
O Allah! If my life were to finish, and my days were to sever, and I were to meet you, so I ask You, O Kind! to put me in a place in Heaven where others will envy me.
O Allah! I entrust my religion and my soul and all the gifts You have given me to You; and so put me in Your shade, and in Your protection, and in Your might, and in Your prevention.
Your neighbor is mighty, and Your tribute is grand, and Your names are sanctified, and there is no God but You. You are Sufficient for me in joy and in sorrow, and in hard times and in prosperity; and You are the best [one who can be] in charge[37].)).
((…And when Allah chose for His Prophet the house of the prophets, and the adobe of His most sincere friends, the spite of hypocrisy appeared on you, and the garment of faith became worn out, and the silent aberrant spoke out, and the indolent of the inferiors emerged, and the wrongdoers’ most favored camel roared, so he wiggled his tail in your courtyards.
And Shaytaan raised his head from his hiding place calling upon you, and he found you answering to his call and looking into his deceit. Then he aroused you and found you quick to respond; and caused you to become angry, so he found you angry for his anger.
Thus you marked a camel which you did not own, and came to a drinking place other than your own.
This! and the memory is near?! And the wound is wide open?! And the injury has not healed?! And the Messenger has not been buried?!
…And the Book of Allah is among you. Its affairs are clear, and its rules are shining, and its signs are dazzling, and its prohibitions have been made clear, and its commands are plain; and you have surely left it behind you. Is it because you do not want it? Or is it because you judge according to something else? “Evil is (this) change for the unjust[83]”, “And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he shall be one of the losers[84]”[85]. )).
She also said:
((O You crowd of Moslems who rush towards the uttering of falsehood, and agree to disgraceful and deviating actions, “Do you not then reflect on the Qor’aan?! Nay! On the hearts there are locks[86]”. “Nay! Rather what you have done has become like rust upon your hearts[87]”. So it has seized your hearing and your sight; and truly how vile is what you have pointed to; and how wicked is what you have taken for an exchange.
You shall, by Allaah, find bearing it a heavy burden, and its consequence a harsh punishment, when the cover is removed for you and appears to you what is behind it of wrath, and comes into your sight from your Creator what you had never expected, “And those who treated (it) as a lie were lost[88]”.)).
She also said:
((…Verily I have said all that I have said with full knowledge of the betrayal that has mixed with you, and the treachery that has covered your hearts; but it is the effusion of distress, and cooling the rage, and the explosion of the chest, and the presentation of proof.
So here it is, load it on the injured back of a she-camel with thin hooves, with permanent disability, marked by the wrath of the Omnipotent, with eternal shame, which is lead to “The Fire kindled by Allah * Which penetrates the hearts[89]”.
Surely it is in the presence of Allah what you do, “And they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back[90]”.)).
The following are some instances of her protests in her famous public speech in the mosque:((…Then you did not wait for its stampede to calm and until it obeys its reins, so you added fuel to its fire, and instigated its burning coal; and you complied with the call of the deceitful Shaytaan, extinguishing the lights of the clear religion, and suppressing the traditions of the Prophet. You show sincerity while concealing your own agenda, and you proceed towards his family and children in a secretive manner.
And we remain patient with you of things similar to cutting with a saw, and stabbing the stomach with a spear.)).
She also said:
((O Moslems! Will my inheritance be usurped?! O Son of Abi Qohaafah! (Aboo Bakr), is it in the Book of Allaah that you inherit your father but I do not inherit my father?! You have surely come up with an unprecedented lie.)).
She also said:
((So here is the she-camel, take it, with its nose rope and its saddle in place; it will see you on the day of your resurrection. Then, what an excellent Judge is Allaah, and what an excellent prosecutor is Mohammad. And the appointment is the resurrection day; and on the Hour shall the wrongdoers lose; and it shall not benefit you when you regret. “For every prophecy is a term, and you will come to know [it][91]”. “Who it is to whom there shall come a punishment which will disgrace him and to whom will be due a lasting punishment[92].)).
((Ali carried Fatima the Daughter of Rasoolollaah on a riding animal, at night, to the gathering places of the Ansaar, asking them for support.
They would say: O Daughter of Rasoolollaah! we have pledged our allegiance to this man (Aboo Bakr), and if your husband had come to us before Aboo Bakr we would not have chosen anyone over him.
And cAli would say: Was I to leave Rasoolollaah in his house without burying him, and go out to seek his rule from the people?!
And Fatima would say: The father of Hasan did what he should have done; and they (the Bakris] surely did what Allaah shall take them to account and question them.)).
((Ali took Faatimah on the back of a female donkey to the houses of Mohaajireen and Ansaar for forty days, along with Hasan and Hosayn. She would say: O Mohaajireen and Ansaar! support Allaah and the daughter of your Prophet. You had indeed pledged to Rasoolollaah, on the day you gave him your allegiance, to protect him and his family from what you protect yourselves and your families. So fulfill your pledge to Rasoolollaah. But no one supported her[105].)).
((City leaders gathered and went to Ameer al-Mo’meneen cAli, and said: O Father of Hasan! Faatimah cries night and day, so none of us enjoys sleep at night, and none of us can work during the day; so we are here to tell you to ask her: either to cry during the night or the day…
Thus Ameer al-Mo’meneen went to Faatimah while she was crying profusely, and when she saw him she calmed down for some moments.
So he told her: O Daughter of Rasoolollaah! The city leaders have asked me to ask you “either to cry during the night or the day”.
Fatima: O Father of Hasan! How short is my stay among them!! And how early is my absence from them!! So by Allah, I will not be silent either during the night or the day until I join my father Rasoolollaah.
Ali: Do O Daughter of Rasoolollaah! what you want.)).
Bakri[123] scholars narrate from Aboo Bakr(LA)[124] who, after the attacks on cAli and Faatimah’s home, said to his men: ((Every man sleeps at night hugging his wife, happy with his family; but you left me alone with this problem. I do not need your allegiance, discharge me[125].)). [123] A Bakri is a follower of Aboo Bakr. Opposite Moslem, Sheecah, follower of Rasoolollaah. Some people unknowingly call the followers of Aboo Bakr “Sonnis”. Sonni means a follower of the tradition of Rasoolollaah; and since the followers of Aboo Bakr follow him and not Rasoolollaah, it is wrong to call them Sonnis.[124] Lacnatollaah cAlayh, may Allaah distance him from His Blessings and Mercy.[125] al-Imaamah wa al-Seyaasah / Ibn Qotaybah = vol. 1, page 14.
Bakri scholars narrate from cAli al-Helaali, who said:((I went to the Prophet while he was on his deathbed, and found Faatimah sitting near his head. She wept heavily, so the Prophet looked at her and said: O my beloved Fatima! What makes you cry? So she said: I fear the loss after you. So he said: O my beloved! Do you not know that Allah, the Great and the Almighty, looked at the inhabitants of the earth and chose your father, and sent him with His message; then He looked once more and chose your husband, and revealed to me to give you to him in marriage?! O Fatima! We are a family to which, Allah, the Great and the Almighty, has surely given seven gifts, that He had not given anyone before us and will not give anyone after us: I am the last of the Prophets, and the most honorable to Allah. And my Wasi[4] is the best of the awseyaa’[5], and the most beloved to Allah, the Great and the Almighty; and he is your husband. And our Martyr is the best of the martyrs, and the most beloved to Allah; and he is Hamzah ibn cAbdolmottalib, your father’s uncle. And from us is he who has two green wings, who flies with the angels to whatever direction he wants; and he is your father’s cousin, and your husband’s brother. And from us are the two Grandsons of this nation, who are your sons Hasan and Hosayn, and they are the Masters of the Youths of Heaven; and their father, by Him Who sent me with the Truth, is better than them. O Fatima! By Him Who sent me with the Truth, from your sons is the Mahdi of this nation. When the world is reduced to commotion and turmoil, and when strife follows strife, and when the paths are broken, and when some people raid others, so that no old has mercy for a young, and no young has mercy for an old, then Allah the Great and the Almighty shall send from your sons he who will conquer the fortresses of deviation, and the covered hearts; and he will rule according to the religion at the end of the time, as I ruled by the religion at the beginning of the time; and he will fill the world with justice just as it had been filled with oppression. O Fatima! Do not be sorrowful, and do not cry, for indeed Allaah, the Great and the Almighty, is more merciful and compassionate to you than I am, and that is because of your place and position in my heart. Indeed, Allah gave you in marriage to your husband, and he is of the noblest pedigree, and with the most honorable position; and he is the most kind to the subjects, and the most just in equality, and the most knowledgeable in any field. And I have surely asked my God, the Great and the Almighty, that you be the first of my family to join me. And Fatima died seventy-five days after Rasoolollaah’s death[6].)). [5] Plural of wasi.

Both Moslem and Bakri scholars narrate from Ibn cAbbaas who said that on his deathbed, Rasoolollaah said the following about Faatimah(AaS)[10]: ((…And when I saw her, I remembered what will be done to her after me. As if I can see the degradation enter her house, and her sacredness violated, and her rights usurped, and her inheritance kept away from her, and her ribs broken, and her fetus killed; while she cries: O my Mohammad! But she will not be answered. And asks for help, but she will not be helped. Thus, she will remain after me sorrowful, grief-stricken and crying. Remembering the end of revelation from her home, at one time, and remembering my absence, at another time. She will feel desolated when the night falls, as she can no longer listen to me reciting the Qor’aan. Then she finds herself humiliated after having been respected at the time of her father; thus Allah shall cheer her up and call on her with what He called on Maryam[11] the daughter of cEmraan[12]/[13], so He would say: O Fatima! Surely Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the world. O Fatima! Keep to obedience to your Lord and perform sojood[14] and perform rokooc[15] with those who perform rokooc. Then the pain will start, and she will fall ill; so Allah, the Great, the Almighty, shall send Maryam the daughter of cEmraan to her to nurse her and keep her company. She then shall say: O Lord! I have surely become bored with the life, and have been annoyed by the people; so join me with my father. And Allah, the Great, the Almighty will join her with me; and she will be the first to join me from my family. Thus she will come to me sorrowful, anguished, grief-stricken, usurped, killed. Rasoolollaah then added: O Allah! Keep away from Your Mercy him who does her injustice, and punish him who usurps her, and humiliate him who humiliates her, and keep forever in Your Fire him who hits her side causing the miscarriage of her fetus. And the angels said: Aameen[16].)). [10] cAlayhas Salaam, peace be upon her. [11] Also Mary[12] Also Amran.[13] Holy Qor’aan = soorah 3, aayaat 42 and 43.[14] A particular position in salaat in which the forehead, the palms, the knees and the toes of both feet are placed on the ground. Sojood is also performed on its own—not as part of a salaat—for a number of reasons, some of which are mandatory whereas others are recommended.[15] A particular position in salaat in which a person bows down, placing the palms on the knees, whilst keeping the legs and the back in a straight position.[16] Amaali / al-Sadooq = page 112.

Bakri scholars narrate from Ameer al-Mo’meneen(AS)[26] who said: ((I washed Rasoolollaah (after his death) in his shirt. So Faatimah used to tell me: Show me the shirt. And whenever she smelled it, she lost consciousness. So seeing that, I hid the shirt[27].)). [27] Faatimah min al-Mahd elaa al-Lahd / al-Qazweeni = page 313, from Maqtal al-Hosayn / al-Khaarazmi.
In her famous public speech in the mosque she said: ((Is it then the judgment of (the times of) ignorance that you desire?! And who is better than Allah to judge for a people who are sure?[93])).
She also said:
((Do you intentionally abandon the Book of Allah and cast it behind your back?!)).
She also said:
((…So to what direction did you go after announcement? And why did you conceal after declaring? And turn on your heels after daring? And become polytheists after believing?
Misery be upon “A people who broke their oaths after their promise, and aimed at the expulsion of the Apostle, and they attacked you first, do you fear them? But Allah is most deserving that you should fear Him, if you are believers[94]”.
Indeed I can surely see that you are inclined to easy living; and that you have kept away who is more worthy of the caliphate; and have secluded yourselves with comfort; and have taken refuge from wideness to narrowness. So you spitted out what you had kept, and vomited what had smoothed down your throats. “If you disbelieve, you and those on earth all together, most surely Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praised[95]”.)).
She also said:
((Do you then unite in treachery, justifying it with fabrication?! And this after his death is similar to what was directed at him during his life[96].)).
And Rasoolollaah(SAA)[3] as God’s Messenger, had to inform people of Fatima's great abilities, so that they may use them to the best of their capabilities in their journeys through the various levels of completeness and perfection. Therefore, one of the things he emphasized was Fatima's ability to know, beyond any doubt, what makes God satisfied and what makes Him angry. And because Allah had granted her cElm al-Ghayb and the cEsmah, her satisfaction and anger reflected that of Allaah. Therefore, the Prophet tied Allaah’s satisfaction and anger to that of Faatimah(AaS)[4], so people may know Allaah’s satisfaction and anger. [3] Sallallaah cAlayh wa Aalih, Allaah’s Blessings be upon him and his descendants. [4] cAlayhas Salaam, peace be upon her.
He used every opportunity and used different words and various methods to transmit this to the people in such a way that even her Bakri enemies narrated them, despite the fact that they were terribly damaging to their leaders, especially Aboo Bakr and cOmar. For instance, Bakri scholars narrate from Rasoolollaah, who said: ((Verily, Allaah, the Great, the Almighty surely becomes angry for Faatimah’s anger, and becomes satisfied for Faatimah’s satisfaction[5]/[6].)).

And when we look at the history books, we see that Sayyedat Nesaa’ al-cAAlameen[11] was the closest person to Rasoolollaah among women, just as Ameer al-Mo’meneen was the closest person to him among men, as cAa’eshah(LAa)[12], their hateful enemy, testifies: [11] Chief of the Women of the World; a title given exclusively to Faatimah, the Daughter of Rasoolollaah, by Allaah. [12] Lacnatollaah cAlayha, may Allaah distance her from His Blessings and Mercy.
((Jomay’ ibn Omayr al-Taymi narrates: I went to cAa’eshah, along with my paternal aunt, and she asked her: Which person was more beloved to Rasoolollaah? cAa’eshah said: Faatimah. Someone else asked her: And among men? cAa’eshah said: Her husband. He was surely, in as much as I knew him, a person who fasted very often, and worshipped very often[13].)).

Bakri scholars also narrate from Jomay’ ibn Omayr al-Taymi, who said:((I went to cAa’eshah with my mother, and heard her behind the partition asking cAa’eshah about cAli. So cAa’eshah said: You ask me about a man! By Allaah, I do not know a man more beloved to Rasoolollaah than cAli; and I do not know a woman on the earth more beloved to him than Faatimah.)). (al-Sonan al-Kobraa / al-Nasaa’i = vol. 5, page 140. A shorter version of this hadeeth has also been recorded in other Bakri references, such as: al-cEqd al-Fareed / Ibn cAbderabbeh = vol. 2, page 194. al-Khasaa’es / al-Nasaa’i = page 109. al-Mostadrak / al-Naysaaboori = vol. 3, page 154. al-Reyaad al-Nadirah / al-Tabari = vol. 2, page 162. al-Sonan al-Kobraa / al-Nasaa’i = vol. 5, page 140.

Bakri scholars also narrate from cAa’eshah, who said: ((I have never seen anyone more similar to Rasoolollaah in speaking than Faatimah.

As the third most complete person ever to be created after Rasoolollaah and Ameer al-Mo’meneen, Faatimah was the most important woman of her time, before her time and after her time. And this is not what her friends say; it is what Allaah says, and her enemies narrate.
Bakri scholars narrate from Hothayfah, one of the most respected companions of Rasoolollaah, who said: ((When Rasoolollaah finished his salaat, he left and I followed him. While he was walking, someone came and spoke with him and then left. I continued following the Prophet, and as he heard me, he asked: Who is this? I said: Hothayfah. He said: What do you want? So I told him what had happened between my mother and me. And he said: May Allaah forgive you and your mother. Did you not see the person who just came to see me? I said: Yes. He said: He was an angel who had not descended to the earth before this night; he asked for permission from his God to come greet me and inform me that Hasan and Hosayn are the “Masters of the Youths of Heaven” and that Faatimah is the “Chief of the Women of the World”[38].)).

I see you do something I had not seen you do before. [49] Plural of hadeeth: a narration from one of the Fourteen Macsoomeen.
So he told me: O Homayraa’![50] Indeed, on the night during which I was taken to the sky, I entered Heaven and I stood by its most beautiful tree, with the whitest leaves, and the most delicious fruit. So I took from its fruit and ate… And when I descended to the earth, I approached Khadeejah; and she became pregnant with Faatimah from that produce. [50] A name by which the Prophet sometimes called cAa’eshah. So whenever I yearn for the scent of Heaven, I smell the scent of Faatimah. O Homayraa’!

Due to their
extraordinary upbringing, Hassan (as) and Hussein (as) were wise from an early
age and their manners were exemplary. Once they saw an old man performing
ablutions incorrectly. They didn’t want to embarrass him or be impolite, so
they started arguing between themselves who did ablutions the best. They asked
the man to watch them and judge. When they both performed the ablutions the
same way, the man realized his mistake. He happily informed them that they
were right and had corrected his mistake in a polite way. Another famous
incident was when Hassan (as) and Hussein (as) were ill. Ali (as), Fatima
(as), their servant Fizza and the two children observed fast for 3 days. They
had only a little bread to break their fast with. Each day right before
sunset, a needy person would appear: first a poor man, then a destitute ophan,
and finally a freed slave. In their generosity, they never refused anyone, and
gave away their food each time and went hungry, breaking their fast with
water. Soon after this the children returned to good health. It was this event
that led to the verses 5-7 of Surah Insan being revealed.
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِن كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا
يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا
Surely the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor.
A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink, making it flow in unstinted
abundance.
They fulfill vows and fear a day the evil of which shall be spreading far and
wide.
* Moslem scholars narrate:
((When Hosayn ibn cAli [Imaam Hosayn] was killed, and the news that his head had been cut and carried to Yazeed ibn Mocaawiyah[127] reached Madinah… mourning ceremonies were held in the home of Rasoolollaah’s wife, Omm Salamah, and the homes of the Mohaajireen and the Ansaar.
Suddenly, cAbdollaah ibn cOmar ibn al-Khattaab came out of his home, with his collar torn[128], slapping his face, and screaming: O crowd of Bani Haashim[129], and Qoraysh, and Mohaajireen and Ansaar! Is it assumed permissible to do this to the family and the lineage of Rasoolollaah while you are alive?! Yazeed must be dethroned.
That night he left Madinah traveling towards Damascus, and in every city he called the people to rise against Yazeed. And reports of his activities were constantly sent to Yazeed.
And the people listened to him and cursed Yazeed, saying: This is cAbdollaah son of cOmar, Rasoolollaah’s khaleefah, and he is denouncing what Yazeed has done to Ahl al-Bayt, and is calling the people against him; so whoever does not answer his call is not a Moslem. Thus a great unrest hit Damascus.
Finally, he entered the capital and came to Yazeed’s castle with a large crowd…
He was given permission to enter the castle alone, so he entered screaming at Yazeed: You have done what the Turks and the Romans would not have done; move aside so that the Moslems choose someone more suitable for this position.
However, Yazeed received him politely, hugged him, and respected him greatly. Then he said: O Abaa Mohammad! [cAbdollaah] calm down…
Did your father appoint my father as the Governor of Shaam[130], or did my father appoint your father as Rasoolollaah’s Khaleefah?
cAbdollaah: My father appointed your father.
Yazeed: O Abaa Mohammad! Do you accept your father and his advice to my father?
cAbdollaah: Yes I accept.
Then Yazeed held cAbdollaah’s hand, saying: Stand up O Abaa Mohammad! and read it (Omar’s advice to Mocaawiyah). So they walked into one of the safes where Yazeed asked for a specific box, opened it and took out a smaller box which was sealed and locked, he then took out a thin scroll wrapped in a black silk cloth and gave it to cAbdollaah, saying: O Abaa Mohammad! is this not your father’s hand writing?
cAbdollaah: Yes, by Allaah; and he kissed it.
Yazeed: Read.
And cAbdollaah read it. [Only some excerpts of cOmar’s letter to Mocaawiyah are mentioned here):
…So I swear by the Hobal and the Idols and the Laat and the cOzzaa[131] that cOmar never renounced them since he first worshiped them, and that he never worshiped the God of the Kacbah, and that he never believed Mohammad. And that he never saluted him accept for becoming powerful enough to work against him and suppress him, for he (Rasoolollaah) had indeed come to us with a great sorcery, and added to that of the Israelites with Moosaa, Haaroon, Daawood, Solaymaan and cEesaa; he brought us all of their sorcery and added to it so much that if they had seen him, they would have testified that he is the Master of the Sorcerers.
So hold on O son of Abi Sofyaan! to the tradition of your people, and follow their religion, and continue the mission of your fathers in denouncing this structure (Kacbah) which they say has a God whom ordered them to come to it and circumambulate around it…
And thank the Laat and the cOzzaa for the rule of the Wise Master cAteeq ibn cAbdolcozzaa [Aboo Bakr] on the nation of Mohammad, and his authority in their finances, bloods, faiths, souls, permissibles, prohibitions, taxes… so he would rule leniently in public and harshly in secret…
And indeed, I made a magnificent leap on the shining star of Bani Haashim[132], and its luminous summit… the one named Haydarah[133], Mohammad’s son-in-law, husband of the woman they appointed as Sayyedat Nesaa’ al-cAAlameen, calling her Faatimah. I came to the home of cAli, Faatimah and their two sons Hasan and Hosayn, and their two daughters Zaynab and Omm Kolthoom, and their housemaid Feddah, along with Khaalid ibn al-Waleed, Qonfodh and a number of our most loyal men. So I knocked on the door very hard and the housemaid answered me. I told her: Tell cAli: Forget this nonsense and do not think about the khelaafah, for surely it is not yours; it is for whom has been chosen by the Moslems…
Again I went to cAli’s home and told Feddah: Tell cAli to come out and pledge allegiance to Aboo Bakr. But she said: Indeed, Ameer al-Mo’meneen is busy. So I said: Tell him to come out, or we will come in and extract him by force.
Then Faatimah came and stood behind the door, saying: O you straying liars! What are you saying? And what do you want?
So I said: O Faatimah!
Faatimah: What do you want O cOmar?
I said: Why did your cousin send you to answer me and he chose to sit behind the cover?!
Faatimah: Your tyranny O scoundrel! Brought me out.
I said: Forget the women’s nonsense and myths and tell cAli to come out.
Faatimah: Do you threaten me with the party of the Shaytaan[134] O cOmar?!…
I said: If he does not come out, I will bring a lot of firewood and will burn down this house on whoever is inside; and I took the whip from Qonfodh and lashed her, and told Khaalid: You and the men gather the wood, for surely I am burning it down.
Faatimah: O enemy of Allaah and the enemy of His Messenger and the enemy of Ameer al-Mo’meneen!
She then put her hands on the door, trying to stop me from entering; so I lashed her hands with the whip which hurt her, and I heard her sighs and cries; and I nearly went soft and was about to return, but I remembered my despise of cAli and his passion for the blood of the stouthearted Arabs, and the cunning of Mohammad and his sorcery, so I kicked the door against her while she was behind it, and I heard her scream: O my father! This is what is done to your beloved daughter! Ah O Feddah! Hold me, for indeed, by Allaah, my fetus has been killed.
I heard her go into labor, leaning on the wall, so I pushed the door and entered the house. She came towards me and I slapped her face so hard that her earring tore from her ear, and she fell down.
Then cAli came, and when I sensed him I quickly went out and said to Khaalid and Qonfodh: I escaped from a great danger; indeed, I have committed a serious crime and I fear for my life. This is cAli coming out, and none of us can handle him.
So cAli reached her just as she was about to pray to Allaah against us and complain of what had happened to her, so he spread a wrap on her, telling her: O Daughter of Rasoolollaah! indeed Allaah sent your father as a mercy to the creatures. I swear by Allaah, that if you uncovered your forehead and prayed to your Lord, He will most definitely destroy these people; as you and your father are dearer to Allaah than Nooh, for whom He drowned the people who were not on his ship… So be O Chief of the Women! a mercy to these inverted people, and do not be a punishment.
Her pain then increased, and she entered her room and miscarried a dead fetus that was called Mohassin…
So when cAbdollaah read the letter, he stood up and kissed Yazeed’s head, saying: Praise be to God O Ameer al-Mo’meneen! for your killing the enemy, son of the enemy!! I swear that my father did not tell me what he had told your father…[135])). [127] The fifth Usurper of the Khelaafah, and the third Amawi ruler.
