Narration of Shaikh Zayn ad-Din al-Bayadi- Allama and Faqih and the alert Orator,

The `allama and Faqih and the alert orator, Shaikh Zayn ad-Din al-Bayadi, has said,

“Among them is narrated by al-Balathiri. It is well known by the Shi`as that he (`Omer) squeezed Fatima (A.S.) behind the door till she miscarried Muhassan although everybody knew what her father (A.S.) had said, that is, `Fatima is part of me; whoever hurts her hurts me.’”[1]

They have said that `a’isha was not the daughter of Muhammed (A.S.). When her camel was hamstrung, the Muslims’ zeal to safeguard her was prompted out of respect for her husband (A.S.), so heads and hands flew and flung around her. But what happened to Fatima (A.S.) of the greatest abomination is much greater than a hamstrung camel. So, why did the Muslims not demonstrate the same zeal for her?”[2]

He also said, “He (Abu Bakr) and `Omer sought to burn the house of the Commander of the Faithful (A.S.) when he and a group of others refused to swear the oath of allegiance to him. Al-Waqidi has mentioned this incident and so has al-Tabari in his Tarikh as well as Ibn `Abd Rabbih.”[3]
