More Than 1000 + sayings :

1. Shaikh 'Abdul Qadir Jilani writes ia his book Ghunyatut-Talebeen, Vol. II page 62; "70,000 angels came on the grave of Husayn bin 'Ali after his martyrdom and they are weeping on him and will remain weeping unto the Day of Judgment."

2. Amir-ul-Mu'minin Imam Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib (peace of Allah be upon him) narrated: “We served the Prophet (s), who visited us, some of the milk, butter and dates that Ummu Ayman had given to us. After he had had some, he moved to a corner to offer a prayer. He wept a lot during the last prostration of that prayer. Due to great awe of him none of us could ask him. Al-Hussein then approached him and said: “Father, the greatest pleasure that we had ever felt was at these moments when you visit us. But we also felt great sorrow when we noticed you weeping. What for are you weeping?” “Son,” answered the Prophet (s), “The angel Gabriel has just come to me to foretell that you all will be killed in different areas of this earth.” “Father,” asked al-Hussein, “What will be the reward of him who visits us in such different areas?” The Prophet (s) answered: “There will be groups of my ummah visiting your tombs for seeking blessings. I engage myself with the pledge that I, on the Day of Resurrection, will come to save them from the horrors of the Hour of Resurrection that they will suffer because of their sins. Allah will surely make Paradise their abode.” [Bihar-ul-Anwar; 22/ 7 (as quoted from Kamil uz-Ziyara and al-Amuli)]

3. 40 Ahadith of Ulma e Ahle Sunnah
   Hafiz Abu Naem and Ahmed bin Abdullah who are from great scholars of Ahle Sunnah, their collected forty ahadith about (Hazrat) Mahdi Hadi (ATF) which are in books Fasoolul Mohimmah and Kashful Ghummah etc. I have taken these 40 from the book Anwar e Imamat writer Faqih e Mohaqiq e Rabbani Danishmand e Bozurg Ahmed bin Muhammad known as Moqaddas Ardbeli (q.s.).
   First Hadith
   Abu saeed khudri has reported from Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (saww) that He said Mahdi (ATF) will be from my ummah and he will rule for seven, eight or nine years even if a short period would remain. In His period evil will be nowhere; rains will be at time and there will be abundance of grain.

4. 2nd Hadith
   With the authority of above mentioned (Abu Saeed Khudri) Holy Prophet (saww) said that the world will be filled with oppression and tyranny and then a person from my progeny will appear and will fill the earth with justice and equity and will rule on the earth for 1 year or 9 years.

5. 3rd Hadith
   With the authority of above mentioned (Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A)) the leader of the two worlds (SAWW) said the day of judgment would not take place until a man from my progeny will fill the earth, which will have been filled with oppression and tyranny, with justice and equity. The period of His rule (will be) 7 years.

6. 4th Hadith
   Zohri reported from (Hazrat) Ali yibnil Hussain (Imam Zain ul Abideen (AS)) that the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said to Hazrat Fatima (SA) Mahdi (ATF) would be your son (Al Mahdi min woldik).

7. 5th Hadith
   Ali Bin Hilal has reported from his father that I was in the court of the prophet of Allah (SAWW) at the time of his passing away (from this world). I saw that the daughter of the prophet of Allah (SAWW), (Hazrat) Fatimah (SA), sitting at the head of the bed of her father was weeping loudly. The prophet of Allah (SAWW), raising his head said O’ my beloved daughter why are you weeping? (Hazrat) Fatimah (SA) said I am weeping over my destruction after you that people will forget you and will carry out oppression on me. The prophet of Allah (SAWW) said O’ Fatimah (SA) don’t you know that Allah The Sublime cast a look on earth first time and chose your father (SAWW) for prophet hood. Then cast a look and chose your husband (ALI A.S.) and revealed that I marry him (ALI A.S.) with you. O’ Fatimah (SA) we are Ahle Bayt (AS). Allah has granted us those qualities, which have not been granted to anyone before us nor would be after us i.e.
   First quality is that I was made The Seal of Prophet hood. I am the best of all Creatures and your father.
   Second quality is that my wasi (testamentary executor) is the best of Awsiya (testamentary executors), friend of the creator and creatures and he is your husband (ALI A.S.)
   Third quality is that our martyr is from amongst the best martyrs and he is (hazrat) Hamza Bin Abdul Muttalib (AS) who is the paternal uncle of your father (SAWW) and your husband (AS). (hazrat Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib (AS) was martyred in the battle of Ohad and Hindda the wife of Abu sufyan, mother of Moawia and grand mother of Yazeed (May the curse of Allah be upon them ).
   Fourth quality is that he (Hazrat Jafar e Tayyar who kissed martyrdom in the battle of Mota) is from us to whom Allah has given two wings through which he is busy in flying with angels (In Heavens). He is the son of my paternal uncle (Hazrat Abu Talib (AS)) and the brother of your husband (Ali AS). (Ali (AS) had three brothers: Talib (AS), Jafar (AS) and Aqeel (AS). Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) sent Aqeel’s son Hazrat Muslim (AS) as his envoy to Kufa and he kissed the martyrdom there and his shrine attached with Masjid e Kufa is resort of all. In the same shrine Hazrat Mukhtar Bin Abi Ubaidah saqafi (RA) is buried).
   Fifth quality is the two grandsons who both your sons (Hassan (AS) and Hussain (AS)) are The Lord of The Youth of Paradise------- O’ Fatimah O’ the sight of my eyes! By that God who sent me as a prophet that (hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) of this ummah will be from these two (Hassan (AS) and Hussain (AS)) when the world will be filled with fitnaas; one will be looting to other; elder will not show mercy upon younger; younger will not respect elder. At that time Allah will send him (Mahdi (ATF)) who will demolish the palace of zalalah and will firm the law of hidayah in the last period as I (Muhammad (SAWW)) did in the last period by arriving. O’ Fatimah (SA) don’t be grieved that Allah The Great is most compassionate and most merciful upon me and you because of that nearness which you have with me. And O’ Fatimah (SA) Allah has married you with (the one) who is mightiest in pedigree, most merciful upon people, wisest in Ahkam e Din (Holy Prophet (SAWW) said Ana Darul Hikmah wa Aliyun Baboha), and the most just in decisions (Holy Prophet (SAWW) said Aqzakum Aliyibne Abi Talib (AS)). And O’ Fatimah (SA) the sight of father’s eyes I have requested from my Allah that you be the first from amongst all who join me from my Ahle Bayt (AS). Therefore (hazrat) Fatimah (SA) went to the lap of her father (SAWW) after the 75 days of prophet (SAWW) death.

8. 6th Hadith
   (Hazrat) Huzaifah (RA) himself reported that one day the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said while throwing light on future in front of us that if there would be one day remaining of this world Allah will make it longest and will appear my one son who will have the same name of mine. Listening this Hazrat salman farsi (RA, He was that companion of Holy Prophet (SAWW) about whom He (SAWW) said Salman minna Ahlalbayt (AS)) said after standing up O Prophet of Allah (SAWW) who will be your that son. The Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said “Min waladi haza” and put His hand on the shoulder of Imam Hussain (AS).

9. 7th Hadith
   (Hazrat) Huzaifah (RA) reported from (Hazrat) Ibne Umer (RA, Ibne Umer accepted Islam in his childhood with Hazrat Umer bin Khattab (RA) in Mecca. His mother was Zainab binte mazoon and he refused to take the oath of allegiance to Hazrat Ali (AS). Likewise it is written in Beharul Anwaar, Volume 44, which summary is that Ibne Umer requested Imam Hussain (AS) at his time of departure from Medina to compromise mislead people. Imam (AS) said O Abu abdur Rehman have fear of Allah and do not avoid to assist me – Page 7 Tazkera e Mukhtar (RA) written by Syeda Bintul Huda, publisher Mukhtar Students Organization (MSO) Pakistan) that Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said that (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will appear from a town. The name of the town will be “Kar’a”.

10. 8th Hadith
    It is reported from (Hazrat) Huzaifah (RA) that Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said (Hazrat) Mahdi Ma’ood (ATF) will be from my sons (when the infidels of Quraish were used to say Holy Prophet (SAWW) “Abtar” then Allah Almighty revealed Surah Kauser: Inna Ataina Kal Kauser we have granted you Progeny with abundance, and then Holy Prophet’s (SAWW) Progeny grew from Hazrat Fatimah Tuz Zahra (SA). Hazrat Imam Hassan (AS) and Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) were Holy Prophet’s (SAWW) grand sons but are called His sons according to Ayah e Mubahilah “Faqul Ta’alo Abna’ana wa Abna’akom…”) whose bright and luminous face will be illuminated like a star.

12. 10th Hadith
    It is reported from (Hazrat) Abu Saeed Khudri (his name is sa’ad ibne Maalik. He is kaseerur riwayah companion. He died in 74 AH and is buried in Medinah) that Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said that (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will be from my progeny, and His forehead will be bright and nose will be sharp and graceful.

13. 11th Hadith
    It is reported from (Hazrat) Abu saeed Khudri (RA) that Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said in praise of (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) that (Hazrat) Mahdi Maood (ATF) will be from my Ahlebayt (AS, The Quranic verse of Chapter Al Ahzaab “Innama yureedullaho leyuzheba ankomurijsa Ahlalbayti wa yutahhirakum tatheera” – verily Allah wishes to keep away the impurities from you Ahlalbayt (AS) and keep you purified as is the right of purification. All ulema are agreed upon this, no one from shia sunni are against this that Ahlebayt e Rasool (SAWW) are Hazrat Ali (AS), Hazrat Fatimah Tuz Zahra (SA), Hazrat Imam Hassan (AS) and Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS), but some non-shia scholars also include azwaj (RA) ur Rasool (SAWW) in Ahlulbayt (AS). But azwaj (RA) ur Rasool (SAWW) are not included in Ahlulbayt (AS) and around 30 ahadith from different authorities which are reported by different ulma e ahle sunnah i.e. Ahmed bin Hambal, Ibne Mardawiyah, Sa’albi and suyooti etc stand witness on this. Molana Farman Ali (late) have gathered all these in his booklet “Al Munazira” which summary is that Holy Prophet (SAWW) came to the house of Hazrat Umme Salma (RA) and gave seat near Him to Hazrat Ali (AS), Hazrat Fatimah Tuz Zahra (SA), Hazrat Imam Hassan (AS) and Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) after calling them and then covered all including himself with a mantle and prayed: O’ Allah these are my Ahlebayt (AS) and keep away impurities from them and keep them purified. Hearing this Hazrat Umme Salma (RA) tried to enter under the mantle but stopped and it was said that you are not in Ahlebayt (AS) but in Azwaj (RA). At the same time the above-mentioned verse revealed. Since then for long Holy Prophet (SAWW) comes to the home of Hazrat Ali (AS) at every prayer time and says holding the door sill of the house “Assalam o Alaikum Ya Ahlalbayt (AS) – [Tafseer Durre Mansoor, Mulla Jalal uddin suyooti, volume 5, page 198, 199]) and His nose will be graceful, sharp and beautiful. He will fill the face of earth with justice and equity when it will be filled with oppression and tyranny.

14. 12th Hadith
    It is reported from (Hazrat) Abu Imamah Bahili that I heard from the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) that there will be four wars and four truce between you and people of Rome and fourth will be through a man from the people of Halqala. A man, who was from the tribe Abd Qais whose name was Mastoor bin Abd Ghailan, from audience stood up and asked Holy Prophet (SAWW): “O’ the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) who will be the Imam of people in that era?” Prophet (SAWW) replied: “The Imam of creatures will be (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) from my sons. He will rule for forty years, and his illuminated face will be brighter than a star, and there will be a mole on his right side, and He will be hidden in a village near Kufa. He will have resemblance to Bani Israel. In His era the earth will spit out treasures and countries of kufr o shirk will be conquered.”

And we and Ahlebayt (AS) have to face a number of difficulties, pains and afflictions here thus for a nation will come from East with black alam (flags) and it will be the seeker of Haq (truth). It will make jehad but no one will accept Haq then Allah will send a man from my Ahl (AS) to whom it will assign this task. He will fill the earth, which will be filled with oppression, with justice.

People would lead a comfortable life in his period.

38. 36th hadith
    It is reported from (Hazrat) Abu Hurairah (RA) that I heard from the Prophet of Allah (SAWW), (saying) when resurrection day will come then (at that time) a man from my AhleBayt (AS) will conquer Qostantonia and mountain of Delam.

41. 39th hadith

(Hazrat) Esa (AS) will say that Allah has granted this honour to this ummah and will offer prayer after him (Hazrat Mahdi ATF).

42. 40th hadith
    (Hazrat) Muhammad Bin Ibrahim (RA) has reported from (Hazrart) Abu Jafar Mansoor Dawanqi (RA) and he from his grandfather (Hazrat) Abdullah Bin Abbas (RA) that I was in the court of the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) when he (SAWW) said those people among whom will be first (Hazrat) Esa bin Maryam (AS) last and (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will be in middle (Wast), will not be ruined.
    The author of Kashful Ghummah has explained what he wrote about the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (ATF) saying that what he wrote especially about Imam Mahdi (ATF) in the book all is in course with Sunnat wal Jama’at so that condition be fulfilled.

43. It is reported from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) in Kashful Ghummah and Fasoolul Mohimmah that I heard from the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) addressing his companions that when (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will appear and (Hazrat) Esa bin Maryam (AS) will descend from the heavens, (at that time) to whom you or your progeny should follow? (Hazrat) Esa (AS) who is a prophet (AS) or Imam (Mahdi ATF) who is the successor of your prophet (SAWW). Some have made addition in it with these words: your Imam (Mahdi ATF) who is Imam from among you according to your Book (Holy Quran). After reporting this hadith it is written that its Muttafaq alaih. Bokhari and Muslim both have mentioned this in their Saheeh. Due to this hadith, hadith-e-Jabir and hadith-e-Khudri Hazrat Mahdi (ATF) should be Imam and Hazrat Esa (AS) Mamoom.

44. That hadith which Ibne Majah Qazvini has reported in his book from Abu Imamah Bahili that this hadith is absolutely correct, is the hadith which strengthens all these ahadith. The last part of the hadith is that “at dawn Hazrat Imam Mahdi (ATF) will intend to offer prayer in Baytul Moqaddas and at the same time (Hazrat) Esa bin Maryam (AS) will descend from the heavens. Imam (ATF) will say to Hazrat Esa (AS) to lead prayer. Hazrat Esa (AS), putting his hand on Imam (ATF)’s shoulder will say you are better and best than me, and will offer prayer after Imam (ATF).

45. Further, it is reported from Shafi Mutallabi that this khabar is motawatar and many narrators have narrated from the prophet of Allah (SAWW) saying that when (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) from my Ahle Bayt (AS) will appear then he will rule the earth for seven years. He will fill the earth with justice and equity.

46. (Hazrat) Esa bin Maryam (AS) will descend and will participate in the murder of Dajjal and (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will be the Imam of this Ummah. Hazrat Esa (AS) will offer prayer after him.

47. It has been narrated from Omm Ayman, who said: ((One day I went to the home of my Lady Faatimah Zahraa’ to visit her. It was a hot summer day. When I reached her home, I found the door locked; so I looked inside through the cracks of the door and saw Faatimah lying asleep next to the hand mill, and saw the hand mill grinding wheat, rotating without a hand turning it; and I also saw the cradle in which Hosayn was asleep next to her, rocking without someone moving it; and I saw a hand praising Allaah next to Faatimah’s hand. So I was surprised to see that, and went to my Master Rasoolollaah, greeted him and said: O Rasoolollaah! Indeed, I saw an amazing thing, the likes of which I had never seen before. So he asked me: O Omm Ayman! What have you seen? So I told him: I went to my Lady’s home and found the door locked, and saw the hand mill grinding wheat, rotating without a hand turning it; and I saw Hosayn’s cradle rocking without a hand moving it; and I saw a hand praising Allaah, the Most High, next to Faatimah’s hand, and it was not attached to a person; so I was surprised to see that O my Master! So he said: O Omm Ayman! Faatimah is fasting, and she is tired and hungry, and the day is very hot. So Allaah, the Most High, put her in drowsiness and she slept. So praise be to Him Who does not sleep. Then Allaah sent an angel to grind the food for her family; and He sent another angel to rock Hosayn’s cradle, so that her sleep may not be disturbed; and He sent another angel to praise Him on behalf of Faatimah near her hand, with its reward going to Faatimah, as she had not been languorous in the invocation of Allaah. So whenever she sleeps, Allaah sends the reward of that angel’s Praise of God to her. So I said: O Rasoolollaah! Tell me who is the grinder, and who is the one who rocks Hosayn’s cradle and talks tenderly to him, and who is the giver of Praise? So the prophet smiled and said: The grinder is Jabra’eel, and the one who rocks Hosayn’s cradle is Meekaa‘eel[14], and the angel who praises is Esraafeel[15].)). [14] Also Michael.

48. Some 50 years before the event of Karbala, the Prophet wept when he was told by the angel that Husayn would be killed by the army of Yazid in Karbala. Then Gabriel asked, "O Prophet of God, do you want me to give you some earth from his place of martyrdom ?" The Prophet said, "Yes". Gabriel gave him a handful of earth of Karbala and the Prophet began weeping uncontrollably. This tradition is recorded in Mishkatul-Masabih, Musnad of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, as-Sawaiqul Muhriqah of Allamah Ibn Hajar Makki and Sirrul-'alamin of Imam Ghazali; and has been narrated by Imam Sha'abi, Imam Baihaqi, Imam Hakim and scores of other traditionalists. The Prophet gave that earth to his wife, Ummul Mu'mineen, Umm Salmah, and told her, "When you see this earth turned into blood, know that Husayn has been martyred."

49. On the 10th Muharram, 61 A.H., Umm Salmah was asleep in the afternoon when she saw the Prophet in her dream: He stood there in a tragic condition, his hair was dusty and disheveled, and in his hand was a bottle full of blood. Umm Salmah asked him what it was. The Prophet said, "This is the blood of Husayn and his companions. I was collecting it since this morning." Umm Salmah woke up and hurried towards the bottle which contained the earth of Karbala; she saw red blood flowing from it. Then she cried and called her relatives and started mourning for Husayn. This tradition is narrated in Musnad of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, as-Sawaiqul Muhriqah, Mishkatul-Masabih, Sahih of Tirmidhi and other books.

50. The Messenger of God, Mohammad ( saw ), said when he was returning from his valedictory pilgrimage, while at Ghadir Khum: I am about to be called ( by the Lord to depart from this World) and respond (to His call). I am leaving for You the Two Valuables (one of them is bigger than the other) : The Book of God and the members of my House. Beware how you shall treat the two after me, because they will not part with each other untill they join me on the Day of Judgement! Ref: Mustadrak of al Hakim, vol 3 p 109 , Sahih of Tirmizi, vol 2 p 307 , Musnad of Ahmed Hanbal, vol 3 p 14, 217
    Khasais of al Nasai, p 30 , Sahih of Muslim, vol 4 p 1286 hadith 5920 , ... and many many more

51. The Messenger of Allah said: "Let me write you something that will forever protect you against straying after me." Umar said: "The Prophet is in a state of delirium, and you have with you the Qur'an; so, the Book of Allah suffices us." Those who were present there argued among themselves, and their argument developed into a dispute. Some of them said: "Come close to the Prophet so that he may write you something that will safeguard you against straying after him," while others repeated what Umar had said. When the argument and dispute intensified in the presence of the Prophet, the Messenger of Allah said to them: "Get away from me." Ibn Abbas used to say: "The calamity, the real calamity, is what discouraged the Messenger of Allah from writing what he wished to write on account of their argument and dispute." (Al-Bukhari, Sahih, Vol. 4, p.4)

52. 1) FATIMA: Imam al-Sadiq quoting his father said, “The Messenger of Allah said: O Fatima, do you know why you have been given the name Fatima?”. Imam Ali Said: Why was she named Fatima?”. The Prophet replied: Because she and her followers (Shiites) are protected from the fires of hell.”

53. 2) ZAHRA: She is called al-Zahra because as Ibn Abbas narrates that the Prophet of Allah said: “Surely my daughter Fatima is the Mistress of all women from the beginning to the end. She is part of me, and the light my eyes. She is the flower of my heart, and is my soul. Fatima is a human huri, who whenever she stands in prayers in the presence of her Lord (Exalted is his name), her light illuminates the skies for the angels, like stars shine to people on Earth.”

54. 3) TAHIRA: She is al-Tahira because Allah revealed in the Quran the “Ayah of Purification”, “And Allah only wished to remove all abomination from you, oh members of the family, and to make you pure and spotless.”(33:33)

55. 4) MARDHIYA: She achieved this name and rank through her good deeds that pleased Allah and made him well satisfied with her. “Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him)

56. 5) SIDDIQA: The Arabic word ‘sidq’ means truth. Fatima was al-sidiqqa because she was a truth-teller. She never lied. Her deeds comformed to her words. She never lied because she was used to truthfulness. She believed in the commands of Allah and his Prophet, without doubting at all.

57. 6) BATOOL: Fatima was purified in the verse of purification, (33:33). This meant that she was not only pure from sins but she was also cleansed from impurities like childbirth bleeding and menstruation. It is narrated that Asma bint Umais said: “When Fatima gave birth to al-Hassan, she did not bleed. She also does not have menstruation bleeds. When I informed the Prophet of Allah of this, he said: Don’t you know that my daughter is chaste. She does not discharge blood as a result of childbirth or menstruation.”

58. 7) ZAKIYA: Fatima was pure and free from all sins so for that reason she is called al-Zakiya.

59. 8) ATHRA’A: She was named al-Adra’a because Fatima never lost her virginity. The Prophet said, My daughter Fatima is a female huri.”

60. Explaining this Imam al-Sadiq said, “Because (huris) are created from pure goodness where no bligh can alter them, nor does senility inflict them…menstruation does not pollute them.”

61. 9) MUBARAKAH: She was named al-Mubarakah because abundant blessings came from her. The most important was the blessing of eleven Imams whom she is the mother of.

62. There is also the story of the blind man that came with the Prophet to Fatima's house. When they came to her house, she went to get her hijab.
    The prophet said, 'Fatima he is blind'. She said, 'Yes father he may not see me but I can see him.'

63. Fear Allah wherever you are and follow up a bad deed with a good one as it will wipe it out and behave well towards people.

64. Beware of the invocation of the oppressed as there is no barrier between it and Allah.

65. Beware of oppression, for it will turn into darkness on the Day of Resurrection. And beware of miserliness for it ruined those who preceded you as it led them to bloodshed as well as be cautious in treating lawfully the forbidden acts.

66. To talk about Allah's blessing is an expression of gratitude, and not doing so is an act of disbelief. The one who is not thankful for the few blessings will not be thankful for the many. And the one who is not thankful to the people will not be thankful to Allah. Unity is a blessing and division is a punishment.

67. A hypocrite has three distinguishing signs, when he talks he lies, when he promises he breaks it and when he is entrusted with something, he betrays such trust.

68. Avoid the seven great destructive sins. These are to join partners in worship with Allah, to practice sorcery, to kill without justification a living being whose life has been declared sacred by Allah, to practice usury, to misappropriate the property of an orphan, to flee from the battlefield at the time of fighting and to slander chaste and innocent believing women.

69. Wish for others what you wish for yourself.

70. Allah Most High loves a servant of His who is lenient when he sells, lenient when he buys, lenient when he pays his debt and lenient when he demands the payment of a debt due to him.

71. When a person dies, all his deeds cease except for these three: Perpetual charity, a beneficial knowledge, and a child who invokes Allah for him.

72. When any of you sees someone who is superior to him in riches and beauty, then he should look at another one who is inferior to him.

73. The people most prone to trials with afflictions are the prophets and then the most pious and then the next in piety and so on. A man is tried according to the strength of his belief. If his belief is firm, his trial will be harder, and if his belief is weak, he is tried accordingly. A servant of Allah will go on being tried with afflictions until he walks on earth free of sins.

74. Utter good words, spread the greeting of peace, be kind to your blood relations and pray at night while others sleep then enter Paradise in peace.

75. Take advantage of five things before five others happen. These are your life before your death, your health before your illness, your leisure before pre-occupation, your youth before your old age, and your wealth before your poverty.

76. The best Muslim among the believers is the one who does not harm the Muslims with either his tongue or his hand. The one with best belief among the believers is the one who has the best characters. The Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who abandons all that Allah has forbidden. And the best jihad (struggle for the sake of Allah) is to struggle against oneself for the sake of gaining the pleasure of Allah, to whom belongs might and majesty.

77. The biggest of the major sins are: to join others in worship with Allah, to kill someone (unlawfully), to be undutiful to one's parents, and to bear false witness.

78. Allah! I seek refuge with You from helplessness, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, and feeble old age. I seek refuge with You from the torture of the grave. I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the Fire (of Hell) and I seek refuge with You from the trial of life and death.

79. Allah! Forgive my sins, my ignorance and my exceeding the boundaries or righteousness, and forgive those of my sins which You know better than I, O Allah! Forgive those of my sins of the past and those which I have committed thereafter, the ones I committed openly and those I committed secretly; You are the One who makes the things go before, and You are the One Who delays them, and You are the Omnipotent.

80. Allah! Set right for me my religion which is the safeguard of my affairs, set right for me my life in this world where I earn my livelihood, set right for me my life in the Hereafter where I have to return ultimately, make life for me a source of abundance for every virtue and make my death a source of comfort against all evils.

81. Allah Most High has chosen this religion and the only things fitting for your religion are generosity and a good character. If such is true, then try to adorn your religion with these two.

82. Allah Most High will ask each guardian about his charge. Did he guard or waste this trust? A man will even be asked about his family.

83. Allah Most High has no better reward than Paradise for believing servants of His who is patient and resigned when He takes away his most beloved in this world.

84. Allah loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters.

85. Allah had forbidden you to be undutiful to your mothers, to bury your female infants alive, parsimony and usurpation of the property of others. And he disapproved for you three things: vain talk and gossip, excessive questioning and wasting wealth.

86. Allah Most High has forbidden the Fire (of Hell) on those who testify that there is no God but Allah, seeking thereby only Allah's pleasure.

87. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Most High says: "Where are those who love each other for the sake of My Majesty, today I shall provide them with My shade which is the day when there is no shade but Mine.

88. Allah forgives my followers whatever (evil deeds) they may whisper to themselves as long as they do not act upon it or speak of it. Allah forgives my followers whatever their souls suggest to them as long as they do not act upon it or speak of it.

89. Allah gives respite to an oppressor, but when He takes him to task, he never lets him escape.

90. The practice of religion is easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will be overpowered by it. Therefore, be moderate, try to be near perfection but within your capacity and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded. And seek Allah's help by worshipping in the mornings, afternoons and during the last hour of the nights.

91. A man may be denied sustenance because of a sin he had committed. Only supplication can ward off predestination, and only righteousness prolongs a life span.

92. For every prophet there was one (special) invocation by which he appealed to Allah while he was among his followers, and that invocation was granted. As for me, I have kept my invocation until the Day of Resurrection to intercede with it on behalf of my followers.

93. The best word is the "Book of Allah" and the best guidance is the "Guidance of Muhammad", may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him. And the worst things are heresies (those new elements introduced into the religion) and whatever you have been promised will surely come to pass, and you cannot frustrate it.

94. One of the greatest sins that a man may commit is cursing his parent. The people asked: O Allah's Messenger, how may a man curse his parents? The Prophet replied: the man abuses the father of another man and the latter answers by abusing the father and the mother of the former.

95. The one who occupies the worst place before Allah on the Day of Resurrection, is the one whom people avoid for fear of his indecent language.

96. Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise . A man keeps on telling the truth `till, in the sight of Allah, he is named truthful. Lying leads to depravity and depravity leads to the Fire (of Hell), and man keeps on telling lies `till, in the sight of Allah, he is named a liar.

97. Lying in my name is unlike lying in the name of any other. So whoever purposely lies in my name, let him occupy his place in the Fire (of Hell).

98. One of the sayings that the people retained from the early prophets: "If you have no feeling of shame then do as you wish."

99. To Allah belongs that which He takes, and to Him belongs that which He bestows, and everything has its term fixed by Him.

100. Look at those who are inferior to you and do not look at those who are superior to you, for this will keep you from scorning what Allah has bestowed upon you.

101. Help your brother whether he is an oppressor or an oppressed. It was said: how am I to help him if he is the oppressor? The Prophet replied, you stop him and prevent him from oppressing others. That is how you help him.

102. Would you not like me to talk to you about what helps you enter Paradise ? Striking with the sword, honoring one's guest, observing the times of prayers, ablution done thoroughly on a cold night, and giving food out of the love for Him (Allah).

103. Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the major sins? To join others in worship with Allah, to be undutiful to one's parents, and to bear false witness.

104. Any Muslim who gives another a garment to wear with which to cover his nakedness, Allah Most High will cover him with the green (clothes) of Paradise . Any Muslim who feeds a hungry Muslim, Allah will feed him on the Day of Resurrection from the fruits of Paradise . And any Muslim who gives a thirsty Muslim a drink, Allah Most High will give him to drink on the Day of Resurrection from the pure wine sealed with musk.

105. Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst falsehood. Do not spy on others, do not look at others faults, do not hanker after a thing which others have. Do not envy one another, do not entertain ill-will towards one another, and do not stop talking to one another. And O Allah's servants! Be like brethren to each other.

106. Modesty results in good alone.

107. Avoid sitting in the public roads. They said: "but we have no alternative, these are the places where we get together and discuss matters." The Prophet said: "If you refuse but to sit, then pay the road its due." What is the right of the road, they asked? "Lowering your gaze, refraining from harming others, returning the greetings of others, enjoining virtuous deeds, and forbidding what is evil.

108. Actions are but by intention, and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus, he whose migration was for Allah and His Messenger, his migration was for Allah and His Messenger. And he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he had migrated.

109. Righteousness is good morality, and wrongdoing is that which wavers your soul and which you hate people finding out about.

110. Smiling to your Muslim brother is counted for you as a charity. Enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong is counted for you as a charity. Pointing out the way to a lost man is counted for you as a charity, and removing a stone, thorns, and bones from the road is counted for you as a charity.

111. You see the believers in their mercy, affection and kindness towards one another, resembling one body, so that whenever a part of this body is in pain, the rest of the body shares the sleeplessness and the fever with it.

112. Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity. Know that what passed you by was not going to befall you and what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and with hardship.

113. Whoever possesses the following three qualities tastes the sweetness of faith. These are to love Allah and His Messenger above all else, to love a person and to love him purely for Allah's sake and to hate reverting to disbelief as he hates to be thrown into the Fire of Hell.

114. There are rights of a Muslim on his Muslim brother. These are, when you meet him greet him, when he invites you accept his invitation, when he solicits your advice, advice him, when he sneezes and praises Allah say to him "May Allah have mercy on you". When he gets sick visit him, and when he dies follow his funeral procession.

115. That which is lawful is evident and that which is unlawful is evident and between the two of them is doubtful matters unknown to many people. So whoever avoids doubtful matters save his religion and his honor. And whoever indulges in these doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful, like a shepherd who grazes his animals around a sanctuary, and at any moment he is liable to graze therein. Truly, every king has a sanctuary, and Allah's sanctuary on the earth is His prohibition. Truly, there is a piece of flesh in the body, that if it is sound, the whole body is sound but if is it diseased the whole body is diseased, and that is the heart.

116. Do good deeds which are within your capacity, for Allah Most High does not get tired of giving rewards but surely, you will.

117. Two traits are never found together in a believer, miserliness and bad character.

118. The best amongst you are those who have the best character.

119. The best things that a man leaves behind after his death are a virtuous child who invokes Allah for him, a perpetual charity, the reward of which reaches him, and a beneficial knowledge which remains useful after him.

120. The best charity is the one given from a surplus of wealth. And start by giving to your dependants.

121. Set aside that which leaves you in doubt for that which does not. For truth is reassuring and falsehood is disturbing.

122. The supplication of a Muslim for his brother in his absence is granted. There is a certain angel who remains present with him, such that whenever he supplicates for something good for his brother, the attendant angel says "Amen" and the same for you.

123. Religion is very easy, and whoever burdens himself in the practices of religion will be overcome by it.

124. He savors the taste of faith, he who is satisfied to have Allah as God, Islam as religion, and Muhammad as a Messenger of Allah.

125. The Most Beneficent sends His mercy on the merciful. The Most High and Exalted said, have mercy on those who are on earth, and the One in heaven will have mercy on you.

126. Abusing a Muslim is evil, and fighting him is disbelief.

127. Allah will shelter seven under His shade on the Day when there will be no shade but His. A just ruler (imam), a youth who has been brought up in worship of Allah. A man whose heart is attached to the mosque from the time he leaves it until he returns to it. Two persons who love each other, come together and part only for Allah's sake. A person whose eyes are flooded with tears when in solitude, he remembers Allah. A man who refuses the approaches of a beautiful woman of noble birth saying, I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and a man who gives charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given.

128. The Most superior appeal for Allah's forgiveness is for you to say, O Allah, you are my Lord, and there is no God but You. You created me and I am Your servant and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise to you to the best of my ability. I seek refuge with You from all the evil I have committed. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed on me, and I acknowledge before you all my sins. So I entreat You to forgive me, for none has the power to forgive sins except You alone.

129. The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior) in the cause of Allah, or like him who performs prayers all the night and fast all the day.

130. Doing good deeds protects one from calamities, charity given secretly extinguishes the wrath of the Lord, keeping good relations with one's relative increases one's life span. Every good deed is a form of charity. Those who do right in this world are those who do right in the Hereafter; whereas those who do wrong in this world are those who do wrong in the Hereafter, and the first to enter Paradise are those who do right.

131. Verily, composure and resignation are essential at the first stroke of calamity.

132. Well done to the one who is hu mble without lack of respect, who depreciates himself without being submissive, who spends frothe money he gathers lawfully, who associates with the religiously learned and the wise and is merciful to the meek and the humble. Well done to the one who humbles himself, earns his living legally, is good in his hidden thoughts, honorable in public, and does not harm others. Well done to the one who practices what he learned, who spends the surplus of his wealth, and keeps to himself what is unnecessary to say.

133. Purity is half of faith. "Praise be to Allah" fills the scale, "Glory be to Allah and praise be to Allah" fills the space between heaven and earth. Prayer is light, charity is a proof, patience is illumination, and the Qur'an is an argument in or against your favor. Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing about its ruin.

134. Oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection.

135. How wonderful is the believer's case, for there is good for him in everything, and this is exclusive only for believers. If something good happens to him, he is thankful and that is good for him, and if an adversity comes his way, he is patient, and that too is good for him. "

136. I am surprised at the believer, as whatever Allah Most High decrees for him, turns out to be good for him.

137. Be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise . And a man keeps on telling the truth and striving for it until, in the sight Allah, he is named truthful. So beware of lying, for lying leads to depravity, and depravity leads to the Fire. On the other hand, another man keeps on telling lies and striving for it until, in the sight of Allah, he is named a liar.

138. Backbiting is to tell things about your Muslim brother which he hates to be told. A man asked, what if my brother has such defects? The Prophet answered, "if your brother has such defects, you backbited him, if not, you slandered him."

139. Allah Most High said, My mercy has preceded My anger.

140. Say, O Allah! Creator of heavens and the earth, knower of both the hidden and the seen, the Lord and sovereign of everything, I bear witness that there is no god but You, I seek refuge with You from the evil of my self, and the evil and trap of Satan. Say it in the morning and in the evening and when you retire to bed.

141. Say, O Allah! I have wronged myself very much, and none can forgive sins but You. Then bestow Your forgiveness upon me, and have mercy on me, indeed You are the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

142. It is a grievous treachery on your part to carry a conversation with your brother in Islam in which you tell him lies and he believes you.

143. Every good deed is a charity. The one who points out the way to do a good deed is rewarded the same as the one who does it, and Allah likes coming to the aid of the distressed.

144. Eat, drink put on clothes, and give charity without squandering or conceit.

145. There are two expressions which are easy for the tongue, heavy in the balance and dear to the Beneficent---Glory be to Allah and gratitude be to Him, glory be to Allah, the most exalted.

146. All of you are guardians and responsible for your own charges. The ruler is a guardian and he is responsible for his subjects. A man is a guardian of his family and is responsible for his charges. A woman is a guardian in her husband's house and is responsible for her charges. A servant is a guardian of the property of his master and is responsible for his charges and a son is a guardian of the property of his father and is responsible for his charges. For all of you are guardians, and all of you are responsible for your charges.

147. The Major sins are, to join others in worship with Allah, to be undutiful to one's parents, to kill someone, to take a false oath. Would you like me to tell you what is the biggest of the major sins? Yes, O Allah's Messenger, they replied. He said, to make a false statement.

148. On going to bed at night, he would place his hand under his cheek and then say, with Your Name, O Allah, I live, and with Your Name I die. When he awoke, he would say, All praises belong to Allah Who has brought us back to life after He had caused us to die and Unto Him is the Resurrection.

149. It is better for the one of you take a rope, go to the mountain, bring back a load of wood and sell it, and thereby Allah will save his face, rather than to ask people for handouts whether they give him or not.

150. Allah damned the one who practices usury and the one who pays him as well as its two witnesses and the one who writes it down. They are equally guilty of committing that sin.

151. None of you have true faith until he wishes for his Muslim brother what he wishes for himself.

152. It is not lawful for a man to desert his Muslim brother for more than three days, so that when they meet, each turns his face away from the other. But the better of the two is the one who greets his brother first.

153. The one who is not thankful to people is not thankful to Allah.

154. A believer is not stung twice from the same hole (i.e. he is not deceived twice).

155. Allah condemns the one who gives and accepts a bribe or who acts as a go-between in the realization of such.

156. Allah has cursed those women who imitate or assume the manners of men, and those men who imitate women.

157. A Muslim has six obligations within reason towards his Muslim brother. These are to greet him when he meets one, or to accept his invitation and to respond to him such supplication as "may Allah have mercy on you" when he sneezes. Furthermore, he has to visit his fellow Muslim brother when he gets sick, follow his funeral procession when he dies and should wish for him what he wishes for himself.

158. Had a believer known what is the full extent of Allah's punishment, none would hope to gain His Paradise. And had a disbeliever known what is the full extent of Allah's mercy, none would despair of entering His Paradise.

159. If the son of Adam had two valleys full of Gold, he would wish for a third, for nothing can fill the belly of the son of Adam except dust when he dies. And Allah forgives the one who repents to Him.

160. The one who gets his fill of food while his neighbor is hungry by his side is not considered as a believer.

161. Nothing weighs more in the balance of accounts on the Day of Resurrection than having a good character.

162. Being rich does not mean having a great amount of property, but rather that of having self-contentment.

163. A strong man is not the one who uses his strength to overcome others, but rather the one who controls himself while in the feat of anger.

164. He who commits suicide by throttling himself shall keep on throttling himself in the Fire forever, and the one who commits suicide by stabbing himself shall keep on stabbing himself in the fire.

165. No one has ever eaten a better food than that which he has obtained by working with his own hands. The Prophet of Allah, David, used to eat from what he earns through his own labor.

166. Whatever a man spends on his house, family, children and servants, is considered in his account as a charity.

167. For any fatigue, illness, fear, grief, hurt or distress which befalls a Muslim, even the pricking of a thorn, Allah expiates some of his sins.

168. What do I care about this world, for I am in this world like a rider who sat for a while under the shade of a tree, then got up and left behind.

169. If a ruler who has the authority to rule Muslim subjects dies while he is deceiving them, Allah will forbid Paradise for him.

170. Whenever a Muslim invokes Allah for his Muslim brother in his absence, the angels retort and the same to you.

171. Any group of people who celebrates the praise of Allah will have the angels spread their wings over them, Allah's mercy covers them, tranquility descends on them, and Allah mentions them to those around Him.

172. No Muslim is afflicted with any harm, like a sickness or some other, but that Allah sheds his sins because of it as a tree sheds its leaves.

173. A father cannot give his son anything better than refined manners and fine education.

174. Anything I have, I will not withhold from you. And know that he who refof begging from others or doing prohibited deeds Allah will help him do that. The one who is contented with what he has, Allah will make him self-sufficient, while he who tries to be patient, Allah will bestow patience upon him. And none is given a gift better and more ample than patience itself.

175. Whoever wishes to be granted more wealth and an extended lease of life, should keep good relations with his blood relatives.

176. Part of someone's being a good Muslim, is his leaving alone that which does not concern him.

177. The one who points out the way to do a good deed is rewarded the same as the one who does it.

178. Whoever invites others to guidance will be rewarded the same as the ones who follow him without their rewards being diminished. And whoever invites others to an aberration will bear the punishment of a sin equal to the sins committed by those who follow him without theirs diminishing in any way.

179. Whoever plants a tree which then bears fruit, whatever a human or any of Allah's creation eats from it will be considered as a charity for him.

180. The one who has wronged his brother should seek for his pardon before his death, as in the Hereafter, there will be neither dinar nor dirham to compensate with it. Thus some of his good deeds will be taken from him and given to his brother. If he has no good deeds, some of the bad deeds of his brother are taken from him, and added to his account.

181. Whoever comes to you when you are united, wanting to break your unity, kill him.

182. When Allah desires good for a person, he bestows on him religious knowledge.

183. A faithful believer is to a faithful believer like the parts of a building, reinforcing one another.

184. A person will be with those whom he loves.

185. A Muslim is one who does not harm Muslims with his tongue or his hands. The believer is the one whom people can entrust with their lives and their goods and a Muhajir (an immigrant who emigrates to safeguard his faith) is the one who abandons all that Allah has forbidden.

186. A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, he does not oppress him nor does he hand him over to his enemy. Whoever fulfills the needs of his brother, Allah will also fulfill his needs. Whoever brings a Muslim out of a difficulty, Allah will save him from one of the difficulties on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever screens a Muslim, Allah will shield him on the Day of Resurrection.

187. May Allah brighten the face of someone who has heard something I said and has conveyed it as he heard it, for sometimes a person to whom something is conveyed may comprehend it better than the one who has heard it.

189. By Allah, this life is to the Hereafter, the same as what your finger gathers if dipped into the sea.

191. Tenderness is that which is taken out from the heart of a wretched man.

192. None of you should wish for death because of any calamity that befalls him. If one must wish for death, then he should say, o Allah, let me live so long as life is good for me and take my life if death is better for me.

193. None of you will have faith `till he loves Me more than his children, father and all of mankind.

194. None of you have true faith until he wishes for his Muslim brother what he wishes for himself.

195. A believer is not a slanderer, a curser, an abuser, nor an impudent man.

196. Make easy to people things concerning religious matters and do not make them hard for humanity, give glad tidings and do not let them reject Islam.

197. Young man! Be mindful of Allah and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah Most High and if you seek help, seek of Allah, to whom belongs all might and majesty.

201. Whenever you go to bed, perform your ablution the way you do it for prayer, then lie down on your right side and say "O Allah! I have surrendered my fate to You, I have entrusted all my affairs to You and I have depended on You. There is no refuge and no asylum from You except with You. O Allah! I believe in Your Book which You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent."

202. Performing ablution perfectly constitutes one half of faith. "Praise be to Allah" fills the scale, Glorification (of Allah) and Takbir (saying Allah is most High) fill the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light, obligatory charity is proof (of faith), patience is brightness, and the Qur'an is an argument for or against you. And eve morning, each person goes selling his soul, selling it (to Allah or to Satan) so he will either set it free or will enslave it.

203. When one of you suffers a calamity, he should say, "To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. O Allah, I seek reward from you for my affliction, so compensate me for it and grant me something better than that as its substitute".

204. When any of you starts eating, let him mention the name of Allah Most High. If he forgot to do so at the beginning of the meal, when he remembers, he should say, "In the name of Allah at its beginning and at its end."

205. When any of you leads the people in prayer, he should shorten it, for among them are the young, the old, the weak, the sick, and the one preoccupied with his affairs. But when he prays alone, he may prolong his prayer as much as he wishes.

206. When a woman gives in charity from her husband's house, reasonably and without waste, she receives the reward of what she has spent and her husband receives his reward for having earned it and the storekeeper will have a similar reward. The reward of one does not decrease those of the others.

207. When one of you enters a mosque, let him pray two rak'ats before sitting.

208. When the trust is betrayed, wait for the Hour of Judgment. The questioner asked: "O Messenger of Allah, how is the trust betrayed? He said, "When authority is entrusted to those unworthy of it, then wait for the Hour."

209. Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless.

210. A Muslim who plants a tree or sows a field, from which man, birds and animals can eat, is committing an act of charity.

211. There is a polish for everything that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah.

213. The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self.

214. If you put your whole trust in Allah, as you ought, He most certainly will satisfy your needs, as He satisfies those of the birds. They come out hungry in the morning, but return full to their nests.

215. When Allah created his creatures He wrote above His throne: 'Verily, my Compassion overcomes my wrath.

216. Allah will not give mercy to anyone, except those who give mercy to other creatures.

217. Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people.

218. Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith.

219. When you see a person who has been given more than you in money and beauty, look to those, who have been given less.

220. If you do not feel ashamed of anything, then you can do whatever you like.

221. O Lord, grant me your love, grant me that I love those who love you; grant me, that I might do the deeds that win your love. Make your love dearer to me than the love of myself, my family and wealth.

222. It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is better still to sit with the good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words.

223. Verily, a man teaching his child manners is better than giving one bushel of grain in alms.

224. Whoever is kind, Allah will be kind to him; therefore be kind to man on the earth. He Who is in heaven will show mercy on you.

225. It is difficult for a man laden with riches to climb the steep path, that leads to bliss.

226. Who are the learned? Those who practice what they know.

234. Keep yourselves far from envy; because it eats up and takes away good actions, like a fire eats up and burns wood.

235. Much silence and a good disposition, there are no two things better than these.

236. Verily, Allah is mild and is fond of mildness, and He gives to the mild what He does not give to the harsh.

237. Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him.

238. When two persons are together, two of them must no whisper to each other, without letting the third hear; because it would hurt him.

239. Verily, it is one of the respects to Allah to honor an old man.

242. You will not enter paradise until you have faith; and you will not complete your faith till you love one another.

243. He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother.
      

244. The best of alms is that, which the right hand gives and the left hand knows not of.

245. The perfect Muslim is not a perfect Muslim, who eats till he is full and leaves his neighbors hungry.

246. He is not of us who is not affectionate to the little ones, and does not respect the old; and he is not of us, who does not order which is lawful, and prohibits that which is unlawful.

254. Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies.

255. A Muslim who plants a tree or sows a field, from which man, birds and animals can eat, is committing an act of charity.

256. What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of human beings, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the sufferings of the injured

257. It is reported that the sixth Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq(A.S.) said:
     "Fatimah(A.S.) has nine names with Allah. They are: Fatimah, as-Siddiqah (the Righteous), al-Mubarakah (the Blessed), at-Tahirah (the Pure), az-Zakiyyah (the Unblemished), arRadiyah (the one content with Allah's pleasure), al-Mardiyyah (the one pleasing to Allah), al-Muhaddathah (the one spoken to by angels) and az-Zahirah (the Luminous). In the Musnad (collection of transmitted hadiths) of the eighth

258.  Imam Reza(A.S.), it is reported that the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) declared: "I named my daughter Fatimah because Allah weaned her.

259. The Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) also called her al-Batul (pure virgin), and said to `A'ishah: "O Humayra' (a redish white, a well-known epithet of `A'ishah), Fatimah is not like the women of human kind, nor does she suffer the illness you (women) suffer! " This is explained in another prophetic tradition which asserts that she never menstruated. It is likewise reported by Sunni traditionists on the authority of Anas ibn Malik, who heard Umm Salim, the wife of Abu Talhah al-Ansari, say: "Fatimah never experienced the blood of menstruation or parturition, for she was created from the waters of Paradise." This is because when the Messenger of Allah was transported to heaven, he entered Paradise, where he ate of its fruits and drank its water.

260. Proofs Of Her `Ismah (Sinlessness), Some Of The Signs Proving Her Status With Allah, And Traditions Indicating Her Excellence And Exalted Status

261. One of the most incontrovertible proofs of Fatimah's sinlessness is Allah's saying: Surely Allah wishes to keep away all abomination from you, O People of the House, and purify you with a great purification [our. 33 : 33 ] . The argument in favour of this, is that the Muslim community has unanimously agreed that the `People of the House' (i.e., Ahlu'l-Bayt), intended in this verse are the People of the Household of the Messenger of Allah. Traditions (ahadith) of both the Shi`i and Sunni communities have asserted that this verse particularly refers to 'Ali(A.S.), Fatimah(A.S.), Hasan(A.S.) and Husayn(A.S.) The Holy Prophet(S.A.W.), moreover, spread over them all one day a Khaybarite mantle and prayed: "O Allah, these are the People of my Household, keep away all abomination from them and purify them with a great purification!" Umm Salamah said: "I too, O Apostle of Allah, am of the People of your House!" He answered: "Your lot shall be good!"

262. * The Divine Will expressed in this verse must by necessity be either an abstract will not implemented by an action, or a will accompanied by an action. The first option is untenable because it implies no particular applicability to the People of the Prophet's House; such a will is shared by all obligated (mukallafin) human beings. Nor is abstract will by itself cause for praise. The entire community has concurred on the view that this verse proclaims the excellence of the People of the Prophet's House over all others, and that the verse refers to them alone. Thus the second option (that the Divine Will referred to in the verse is a will accompanied by action) is true, and in it is clear proof of the sinlessness of those who were intended in the verse. It implies further that it is impossible for them to commit any evil action. Moreover, any others whom we have not named here are no doubt not held by general consensus as possessing `ismah (protection from error). Thus since the verse necessarily implies sinlessness it must apply to them (the People of the Prophet's House), because it pertains to no other individuals.

263. * Another proof of Fatimah's sinlessness is the Holy Prophet's saying concerning her: "Fatimah(A.S.) is part of me. Whatever causes her hurt, hurts me." He also said: "Whoever hurts Fatimah(A.S.), hurts me, and whoever hurts me, hurts Allah, exalted be His Majesty! " The Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) said further: "Allah becomes wrathful for Fatimah's anger, and is pleased at her pleasure.".

264. Among the signs indicating Fatimah's exalted status with Allah is an incident related by both Shi'i and Sunni traditionists on the authority of Maymunah (the Holy Prophet's wife), who reported that Fatimah(A.S.) was found asleep one day, the handmill beside her turning of its own accord. She informed the Apostle of Allah of this, and he said: "Allah knew the weak condition of His handmaid; He thus inspired the handmill to turn by itself, and so it did." Among the reports asserting her excellence and high distinction over all other women is the tradition reported on the authority of `A'ishah who said: "I never saw a man more beloved of the Apostle of Allah than `Ali(A.S.), or a woman more dear to him than Fatimah(A.S.)."

265. Sunni traditionists also reported on the authority of the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali(A.S.)who said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah, `Who is more beloved to you, Fatimah(A.S.) or I?' He answered, `Fatimah(A.S.) is more beloved to me, and you are dearer to me than she is.' " These traditionists also reported from Anas ibn Malik that: "Fatimah(A.S.) is the most excellent of all the women of the world." In another tradition it is reported that the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) said: "The most excellent among the women of the world are: Maryam daughter of `Imran (that is, the virgin Mary), Asiyah daughter of Muzahim (wife of Pharaoh), Khadijah daughter of Khuwaylid and Fatimah(A.S.) daughter of Muhammad(S.A.W.)" It is also related on the authority of Ibn `Abbas who said: "The most excellent of the women of Paradise are: Khadijah daughter of Khuwaylid, Fatimah(A.S.) daughter of Muhammad, Maryam daughter of `Imran and Asiyah daughter of Muzahim." Traditionists report that `Abdu 'r-Rahman ibn `Awf said: "I heard the Apostle of Allah say, `I am a tree, Fatimah(A.S.) is its trunk and 'Ali(A.S.) is its pollen. Hasan(A.S.) and Husayn(A.S.) are its fruits, and our followers (Shi'ah) are its leaves. The roots of the tree are in the Garden of Eden, and its trunk, fruits and leaves are in Paradise.' "

266. Traditionists further report on the authority of `A'ishah that: "Whenever Fatimah(A.S.) came to the Messenger of Allah, he would rise from his seat, kiss her on the forehead, and make her sit with him." Traditionists have also reported on the authority of 'Ali ibn Ibrahim al-Qummi in his commentary of the Holy Qur'an, as related on the authority of the sixth Imam as-Sadiq, Ja'far ibn Muhammad(A.S.), who said: "We were told that our forefathers said that the Messenger of Allah often indulged in kissing the mouth of Fatimah(A.S.) the mistress of the women of the world, so that `A'ishah finally protested saying, `O Messenger of Allah, I see you indulge so often in kissing the mouth of Fatimah(A.S.) and placing your tongue in her mouth.' He answered, `Yes, O `A'ishah, when I was taken up to heaven, Gabriel took me into Paradise and brought me near the tree of Tuba (beatitude). He gave me an apple of its fruits which I ate. Thus when I returned to earth, Khadijah, conceived Fatimah(A.S.). Whenever, therefore, I yearn for Paradise, I kiss her and place my tongue in her mouth, for I find in her the fragrance of Paradise. I also sense in her the fragrance of the tree of Tuba. Fatimah(A.S.) is thus a celestial human being.' "

267. The traditions which our Companions (that is, Shi'i hadith transmitters), may Allah be pleased with them, have reported in proof of Fatimah's special place - her honoured status and distinction over all the women of humankind - are beyond number. We shall, therefore, limit ourselves to the reports which we have already mentioned.

268. Among the things which Allah completed the great honour of the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (A.S.)in this world and the world to come was His special favour towards him in having him unite in marriage with the noble daughter of the Messenger of Allah, who was the most beloved of all creatures to him, the consolation of his eyes and leader of the women of the world. Among the many ahadith (traditions) concerning this event is the sound hadith reported on the authority of Anas ibn Malik, who said: "As the Apostle of Allah(S.A.W.) was sitting one day, 'Ali(A.S.) came to see him. He addressed him saying, `O 'Ali(A.S.), what brings you here?' `I came only to greet you with the salutation of peace', `Ali(A.S.) replied. The Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) declared: `Here comes Gabriel to tell me that Allah has willed to unite you in marriage with Fatimah(A.S.). He has, moreover, called as witnesses to her marriage a thousand angels. Allah has revealed to the tree of Tuba, "Scatter your pearls and rubies! " Black-eyed houris rushed to pick the precious stones up, which they shall exchange as presents among them till the Day of Resurrection.' "

269. It is related on the authority of Ibn `Abbas, who said: "On the night when Fatimah(A.S.) was married to 'Ali(A.S.), the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W.) stood before her. Gabriel stood at her right hand and Michael at her left. Seventy thousand angels stood behind her, praising and sanctifying Allah. The Commander of the Faithful prided himself on his marriage to her on numerous occasions." Abu Ishaq ath-Thaqafi reported on the authority of Hakim ibn Jubayr, who reported from al-Hajari who related from his uncle who said: "I heard `Ali(A.S.) say one day, `I shall utter words which no other man would utter but that he would be a liar. I am `Abdullah (Allah's servant), and the brother of the Apostle of Allah. I am the one whose guardian is the Prophet of mercy, for I have married the mistress of all the women of the community. I am the best of the vicegerents.' " Numerous reports expressing similar ideas have been transmitted.

270. Ath -Thaqafi reported on the authority of Buraydah, who said: "On the nuptial night of `Ali(A.S.) and Fatimah(A.S.), the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) said to 'Ali(A.S.), `Do not do anything until you see me.' He then brought water - or the traditionist reported that he called for water - which he used to perform his ablutions for prayers, pouring the rest over 'Ali(A.S.). The Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) then prayed, `O Allah, bless them! Shower your blessings over them, and bless for them their two young lions (that is, their two sons Hasan(A.S.) and Husayn(A.S.))."' ath-Thaqafi also related on the authority of Shurahil ibn Abi Sa'd, who said: "On the morning after Fatimah's wedding, the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) brought a skinful of milk, and said to Fatimah(A.S.), 'Drink! May your father be a ransom for you.' He likewise said to `Ali(A.S.), 'Drink! May your cousin be a ransom for you.' "

271. here have been many women who have made an everlasting mark on the history of civilization and humankind. They have been great in various aspects. Yet one woman contributed more than perhaps any other woman, while she was not more then a young girl. She had all the great and virtuous attributes of the women of respect and honor - and more. Her prayers and supplications were no less than the most inspiring words of poetry to the God she adored. Her eloquence of speech, her bravery and strength, her loving tenderness towards her noble father, husband and children are what philosophers still write and speak of in terms of a cure for the ills of today’s society. She was filled with spiritual devotion, as is becoming of any true saint. Her actions were her belief, without fault or mistake. She rose above the frail diversions of this life and was truly the best example for all women throughout all time.

272. The Holy Prophet, who spoke only that which had been revealed to him, addressed Fatima in these words: “Oh Fatima! Allah, the Mighty, the Exalted, is angered at the one who makes you angry and is satisfied with the one who pleases you”.

273. One day, we are told, Hasan and Husayn were lost, and their mother Fatima came to the Prophet greatly alarmed. The angel Gabriel, however, came down and told the Prophet that the two youths were asleep in an animal fold some distance away. God, the angel reassured the anxious family, had charged an angel to keep watch over them. The Prophet went to the spot and found the angel had spread his two wings: one under them and the other over them as cover. The Prophet stooped over the two children and began to kiss them until they awoke. He then carried them on his shoulders back to the city. A large crowd of Muslims followed the Prophet and his two grandsons to the mosque. The Prophet then addressed the assembled people and said: 'O Muslims, shall I inform you of those who have the best grandfather and grandmother of humankind?' 'Yes, O Apostle of God', they all replied. 'They are Hasan and Husayn', he said. 'Their grandfather is the Apostle of God, the seal of the Messengers, and their grandmother is Khadija, daughter of Khuwaylid, mistress of the women of Paradise.' The Prophet then declared Hasan and Husayn to have the best maternal uncle and aunt: Jafar and Umm Hani', son and daughter of Abu Talib. Their maternal uncle and aunt were likewise the best of all uncles and aunts: they were al-Qasim, son of the Messenger of God, and Zaynab, daughter of the Apostle of God. The Prophet concluded: 'O God, you know that Hasan and Husayn shall be in Paradise, their uncles and aunt shall be in Paradise, and those who love them shall be in Paradise, while those who hate them shall be in the Fire."

274. There is a unity between the Prophet and the ahl al-bayt, a unity not simply of blood, but also of the spirit. It is a unity symbolized by the kisa' event. It is, therefore, a unity of love, as the following statement of the Prophet clearly indicates. He said, as related on the authority of Salman the Persian: 'Whoever loves Hasan and Husayn, I love him, and whomsoever I love, God also loves, and whomsoever God loves, He shall cause him to enter into the gardens of bliss.' Likewise he who hates Hasan and Husayn shall be consigned to the Fire, because both God and his Messenger will hate him, 'and a terrible punishment awaits him'

275. One evening, after prayers, Abu Hurayra offered to take the two youths home, but the Prophet wished them to stay. Soon, however, a flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and they thus walked in its light until they entered their home.

276. Muslim hagiographical piety extended this unity and intimacy between the Prophet and his two grandchildren to include the angels of heaven. Thus Hudhayfa, a well known companion and traditionist, reported that the Prophet said: 'An angel is here who never came down to earth before this night. He sought permission from his Lord to come down and greet me, and to bring me the glad tidings that Fatima is the mistress of the women of Paradise, and that Hasan and Husayn are the masters of the youths of Paradise.'

277. There is no doubt that the special status of the Imam Husayn in Muslim piety and devotion has in large measure been due to the Imam's great sacrifice of family, wealth, and life itself in the way of God. Husayn's martyrdom - his courage, steadfastness, dignity, and true devotion in times of great crisis - have inspired Muslims of all walks of life. Husayn has inspired the best poetry in all Islamic languages; even non-Muslim poets celebrated his great virtue and valour. Above all, however, the Imam Husayn's martyrdom became a source of strength and endurance for Muslims in times of suffering, persecution and oppression. He has stood with every wronged man or woman before oppressive rulers, reproaching wrongdoers and encouraging the oppressed to persist in their struggle for freedom and dignity. The following encounter between Zayd b. Arqam, a venerable companion of the Prophet, and 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad is a living testimony to the struggle between illegitimate authority and the power of right. When the head of the Imam Husayn was brought before him, Ibn Ziyad began to poke its teeth and lips with a stick.
     Zayd protested: 'Take away your stick! For, by God, I saw the Apostle of God often kiss these lips.' Saying this, Zayd began to weep. Ibn Ziyad reprimanded him, saying: 'May God cause your eyes to weep! Had it not been that you are an old and senile man, I would have cut off your head.' Zayd then walked away, exclaiming: 'O men, you are slaves after this day. For you have slain the son of Fatima and set as amir over you the son of Marjana [i.e., Ibn Ziyad]. By God, he shall kill the best of you and enslave the most wicked among you. Perish those who accept humiliation and shame.' Zayd then said, 'O Ibn Ziyad, I shall tell you something that will enrage you even more. I saw the Apostle of God seating Hasan on his left leg and Husayn on his right, and say, "O God, I commend them and the most righteous of the people of faith to your trust." How have you dealt with the trust of the Prophet, O Ibn Ziyad?'

278. 'Husayn is of me and I am of Husayn. May God love those who love Husayn.'[26] When sura 108 (al-Kawthar) was revealed, the Prophet announced this great favour to his close companion Anas b. Malik, on whose authority this tradition is reported. Anas asked: 'What is al-Kawthar?' He answered: 'It is a river in Paradise, but neither those who violate my covenant (dhimma), nor those who shall kill the people of my House will be allowed to drink of it.'

279. The well-known scholar of 10th century A H. Allauddin Muttaqi Hindi in his book 'Kanzul Ummal' has quoted Ibn Abi Shaibah, who has related from Umme Salmah, the wife of Holy Prophet (S), that: "Once Imam Hussain (A) came to Holy Prophet (S) when I was sitting near the door. I saw that Holy Prophet (S) had something in his palm, which was moved by him and weeping profusely. By now Imam Hussain (A) had fallen asleep in his lap. I asked about the matter. He replied: 'Jibreel has brought the sand of the place where Hussain will be martyred and informed me that people of my Ummat will slay him.'" (Kanzul Ummal, vol 2)

280. The great traditionalist Hafiz Jalaluddin Suyuti has recorded from Tabrani that the Holy Prophet (S) said: "Maintain love of my Ahlul-Bayt. Meet Allah in such a way that you maintain love with us. He will enter into paradise by our intercession. I swear by the One who holds my life in His hands that no deed will be accepted unless we Ahlul-Bayt approve of it." (Ahyaul Mayyit, Tradition No 18)

281. Hazrat Imam Sadiq (A) said: "When Imam Husain (A) came to the Holy Prophet (S), he looked at him, hugged him and said: 'Martyrdom of Husain will generate such a fire in the hearts of believers which will never be extinguished.' Then he said' My parents be sacrificed for him who is the fountain-head of all mourning'. When the companions asked 'What does it mean?' He replied 'That no believer will remember him but mourning and weeping.'

282. This tradition has surprised our respected brethren Abdur Ghaffar but its authenticity was supported by Bukhari in 'Al Adab Al Mufrad', Ibn Majah in his 'Sunan' in the chapter of Merits of Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain (A). Hakim has written about it in his 'Mustadrak' pg 77 and Ahmad Bin Hambal in his 'Musnad' vol 4, pg 172. Apart from these stalwarts, other traditionalists have also narrated it in their books on the authority of Yali Bin Murrah and Jafar Bin Abdullah Ansari that 'Once the Holy Prophet (S) along with his companions was going to attend a feast. He saw Imam Husain (A) playing with his friends. The Holy Prophet (S) moved with agility and wanted to hug him. But when Imam Hussain (A) dodged him smilingly. This made the Holy Prophet (S) to laugh with him and be pleased. Finally he caught Imam Hussain (A) and took him in his arms, kissed him and said: "Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain, Allah likes him who loves Hussain. He is one of my grandsons."

283. Yahya related to me from Malik from Ata ibn Abdullah al-Khurasani that Said ibn al-Musayyab said, "A bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, beating his breast and tearing out his hair and saying, 'I am destroyed.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Why is that?', and he said, 'I had intercourse with my wife while fasting in Ramadan.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked him, 'Are you able to free a slave?', and the man said, 'No.' Then he asked him, 'Are you able to give away a camel?', and the man replied, 'No.' He said, 'Sit own,' and someone brought a large basket of dates to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said to the man, 'Take this and give it away as sadaqa.' The man said, 'There is no one more needy than me,' and (the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace), said, 'Eat them, and fast one day for the day when you had intercourse.' "

284. "The Holy Prophet (P) returned to Madina and found the whole city gone into mourning. Whenever he went, he heard wailing and lamentation in every house. He was grieved to find that all who fell in the battle had their mourners doing their duty to the memory of their dear ones; but their was none to mourn the death of Humza (ra). Overwhelmed with grief the words that there was none to mourn the loss of Hamza escaped his lips. The Ansaris were touched to the core when the remark came to their ears. They asked their women to go to the house of the Prophet (S) and lament over the death of Humza. The Prophet (p) thanked them for their sympathy, prayed for their well being, but added that it was not permissible to cry lamentations in memory of the dead. (Women in Arabia were used to wailing and lamenting aloud, they would tear off their garments, dig their nails into their cheeks, slap themselves on the face and put up loud screams. This undesirable practice was from that day stopped for future".

285. As narrated by al Tabari in History Volume 9 page 183 (English translation by Ismail Poonawalla) Abbas narrates: "I heard Aisha saying "The Messenger of God died on my bosom during my turn, I did not wrong anyone in regard to him.

Later Hosayn came, he was a child, and Omm Salamah could not stop him from going to the Prophet. So she followed Hosayn and saw him on his chest, while the Rasoolollaah was crying and examining something in his hand. Then the Prophet said: O Omm Salamah! This is Jabra’eel telling me that Hosayn will be killed and this is the soil on which he will be killed; so keep it with you, and when it turns into blood, then surely my beloved has been killed[254].

319. Omm Salamah said: O Rasoolollaah! Ask Allaah to ward off this thing from him. Rasoolollaah: I have done so; and Allaah the Great, the Almighty revealed to me that he shall have a level that no one of His creatures will have; and that he shall have followers who will intercede and their intercession shall be accepted; and that Mahdi (the Savior) is of his lineage. So blessed is him who is a friend of Hosayn. And his followers are, by Allaah, the winners in the Hereafter[255].)).

320. And although Aboo Bakr and ^cOmar both admitted that she and Aboo Bakr’s wife, Asmaa’ bint ^cOmays, were promised Heaven by Rasoolollaah, they refused their testimony and shamelessly said:  ((Two women from Heaven testify to a lie[251].)). ((When Faatimah died, Omm Ayman swore not to stay in Madinah, as she could not bear to look at the places where Faatimah had used to be; so she left for Makkah.On the way she became badly thirsty, so she extended her arms towards the sky and said: O Lord! I am Faatimah’s housemaid, do you kill me by thirst?!Suddenly a bucket came down to her from the sky, and she drank from it. After that she did not need food or water for seven years. So she would go out [to the desert] in a very hot day, and she would not become thirsty[253].)).

321. Moslems narrate: ((One day ^cAa’eshah went to Faatimah’s home while she was cooking a kind of pap for Hasan and Hosayn, with flour, milk and fat in a pot. However, while the pot was boiling on the fire, Faatimah was stirring its contents with her finger. So ^cAa’eshah left horrified and went to her father and told him: O Father! Indeed, I have seen of Faatimah Zahraa’ a very surprising act. I saw her cooking and stirring the contents of a pot that was boiling on the fire with her hand. So he told her: O Daughter! Keep this a secret, as this is very significant. Later, Rasoolollaah ascended the menbar[5], praised Allaah and extolled Him, then he said: The people hold as significant, and regard as too much, what they have seen of the pot and the fire. By Him Who sent me with the Mission, and selected me for the Prophethood! Verily, Allaah, the Most High, has prohibited the fire from burning Faatimah’s meat, and blood, and hair, and nerve, and bone, and has kept away her descendants and followers from Hell.Verily, of the descendants of Faatimah is whom the fire, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains obey; and the Jinn fight for; and the prophets called their peoples to believe in him; and the earth shall surrender to him its treasures; and the sky shall bring down on him its blessings.Woe unto him who doubts the superiority of Faatimah. May Allaah keep away from His Blessing he who hates her. May Allaah keep away from His Blessing he who hates her husband, and does not accept the imaamah[6] of her children.Indeed, Faatimah will be asked [on the Day of Judgment by sinners to intervene], and she will accept, and she will intervene, and her intervention will be accepted by Allaah, despite those who do not like it[7].)).

323. * ((One day ^cAli asked a Jew to loan him some barely, and the Jew demanded to hold something as security. So he gave him Faatimah’s wrapper, which was made of wool, and the Jew took it to his house and put it in a room.At night, when his wife entered that room, she saw a dazzling light illuminating the room; she went to her husband and told him what she had seen. The Jew was surprised. He quickly jumped up and went to the room, and saw the light emitting rays as if it were coming from a shining full moon glowing at a close distance, so he was greatly amazed. When he looked closely at the source of the light, he saw it coming from Faatimah’s wrapper.Thus he ran to his relatives, and his wife ran to her relatives; and before long more than eighty Jews had gathered, and after seeing the light of Faatimah’s wrapper they all converted to Islam[8].)).

324. * ((The Prophet called ^cAli, Faatimah, Hasan and Hosayn, and said to those who where in the room: Leave me. And said to Omm Salamah: Stay at the door, and do not let anyone near it. Then he said to ^cAli: Come near me. So he went nearer to him. And he took Faatimah’s hand and put it on his chest and took ^cAli’s hand with his other hand. Then when Rasoolollaah wanted to speak, he was overcome with tears, so he could not talk. So Faatimah, ^cAli, Hasan and Hosayn wept intensely, for Rasoolollaah’s crying. Then Faatimah said: O Rasoolollaah! You have surely cut my heart, and set my liver on fire with your crying O Master of the Prophets! and O Trusty of his God! and O His friend and His Prophet! Who is left for my children after you?! And for the degradation that will descend upon me after you?! Who is left for ^cAli, your Brother and the Defender of the Religion?! Who is left for Allaah’s revelation?! Then she wept and fell on his face and kissed it, and ^cAli and Hasan and Hosayn fell on him.

     He raised his head to them, and while Faatimah’s hand was still in his hand, he placed it in ^cAli’s hand telling him: O Abaa al-Hasan! Allaah’s deposit, and His messenger’s deposit is with you, so keep it safe; and I know that you will indeed do your duty.

     O ^cAli! She is, by Allaah, the Chief of the Women of the Heaven. She is, by Allaah, the Great Maryam. Verily, I have asked Allaah for her and for you all, and He has granted me what I have asked of Him.

     O ^cAli! Carry out what Faatimah tells you to do, for I have indeed told her what Jebra’il has told me. And know O ^cAli! that I am satisfied from whom my daughter Faatimah is satisfied from, and also are my God and His angels.

     O ^cAli! Woe unto him who does her injustice; woe unto him who extorts her rights from her; woe unto him who dishonors her sacredness[3].)). [3] Faatimah al-Zahraa’ min al-Mahd elaa al-Lahd / al-Qazweeni = page 298.

325.  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 Faatimah! What makes you cry? So she said: I fear the loss after you. So he said: O my beloved! Do you not know that Allaah, 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 Faatimah! We are a family to which, Allaah, 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 Allaah. And my Wasi[4] is the best of the awseyaa’[5], and the most beloved to Allaah, the Great and the Almighty; and he is your husband. And our Martyr is the best of the martyrs, and the most beloved to Allaah; 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 Faatimah! 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 Allaah 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 Faatimah! 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, Allaah 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 Faatimah died seventy-five days after Rasoolollaah’s death[6].)). [5] Plural of wasi.

Pointing with his hand to his beard and head. Ali said: Wasn't I tested when I was tested, so this is not from among the things of patience, but it is from those of good tidings and dignity." So the prophet (s) is pleased with such beautiful expressions, which describes the greatness of Ali's self and his love in the way of Allah, Almighty. Sunni Ref: al-Mu'jam al-Kabeer, al-Tabarani.

327. When people thanked our Beloved Prophet (PBUH), he said, “I ask for no reward from you, just love and be kind to my Ahlul Bayt”(Q 42-23).

He said: Gabriel just left me telling me that Hussain will be killed by the river Euphrates. He (prophet) said: So he (Gabriel) said: Do you want me to let you smell his dirt (from his burial pot)? I said: yes! He reached with his hand and grabbed and handful of dirt and gave it to me. So I could not help it and my eyes were flooded."

Then he pointed with his hand to his (Ali's) head and beard and cried till he was loudly crying. We said: What makes you cry? He said: Hatred in the hearts of a people, they do not display till they loose me."  Sunni Ref, where all three narrations are recorded: Musnad al-Bazzaz; al-Mu'jam al-Kabeer, al-Tabarani ,Musnad abu-Ya'la ,Tareekh al-Sham, Ibn 'Asakir ,Majma' al-Haithami

332. It is stated in divine books that man is entrusted with children who are God's blessing and kindness. To safeguard this "trust" we must attend to their moral and religious education and choose a pure and good spouse for them to marry. The woman who gets married and goes to her husband's home will be influenced by her husband, his family and his home. In that environment she will be asked to do things by her husband. The house she goes to must be a divine home with a believing family. Her husband must be reasonably well-mannered and good-tempered, too. It is for this reason that the divine religion has strictly forbidden marrying your daughters to those who do not fulfill Islamic conditions. The Prophet (Pbuh) has been narrated as saying: Marriage is a form of obedience, that is once you marry your daughters off to someone, you in fact make her obedient to him. Therefore you must all be very careful as to whom you entrust your daughters to. [Bihar al-Anwar, v.103, p.371]

333. The Prophet (Pbuh) said: Avoid marrying stupid women since living with them will ruin your life and their children will be oppressors. [Bihar al-Anwar, v.103, pp.232-237]

334. He also said: Avoid a trashy beauty. He was asked: What do you mean by a trash beauty? He replied: I mean a beautiful woman who is raised in a bad family. [Ibid]

335.
