UMME ABIHA, FATIMA ZAHRA(s.a) - Nice Article by Nahla Garavi-Na’ini,Professor of Tarbiyat Modares university (PART II )

Continued from Part I....

Her Merits:

            Many scholars have written books about the attributes and virtues of Hadrat Fatima (s.a.w.a.). The truth is that her attributes are so numerous that it is not possible to describe them all. It is suffecient that Fatima (s.a.w.a.) is the mother of 11 Imams who have been chosen by Allah.

The Messenger of Allah(s.a.w.a.) and Fatima(s.a.):

            Ibn Athir and Tabarani have quoted from Imam Ali(a.s.) that the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said to Fatima(s.a.): “Allah becomes angry when you become angry, and Allah is satisfied when you are satisfied.”[1]

Shaikh Saduq(a.r.) and Allama Majlisi(a.r.) have recorded several versions of this tradition.[2]

            Zayd ibn Arqam said: The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said to Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husain: “Whoever is your enemy, I am his enemy! And whoever is your friend, I am also his friend.” [3]

Ibn Abbas said:”Whenever the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was leaving for a trip, the last one he goes to for saying goodbye was Fatima (s.a.w.a.) and whenever he returned, she was the first who received his greetings. If Fatima’s position before Allah had been not so high, he would not have acted like that.”[4]

            Ibn Abbas and others have related that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) drew  four lines on the ground and said:”Do you know what these lines are?” the people said:”Allah and his Prophet (s.a.w.a.) know better.” he then said: “the best  women in heaven are Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Maryam bint  Imraan and Asiyah bint Muzahim.”

            The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) has also praised Fatima and her dear mother Khadija (s.a.), in other speeches, such as the ones in which he said: “The best women in the heaven are four: Fatima, Khadija, Maryam, and Asiyah.” [5]

            Imam Sadiq (s.a.w.a.) has quoted from his forefathers that the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:”On the Judgment Day, a caller from inside the throne will announce:”O people close your eyes, for the daughter of the dearest to Allah (i.e., the Prophet) is going to her castle...”[6]

            The Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) many times said, in similar way: “Fatima (s.a.) is a part of me, the light of my eyes, and the fruit of my heart. Whoever harms her, harms me, and whoever makes her happy, makes me happy. She will be the first of my family to join me.”

            Regarding Fatima (s.a.), her husband and children, he(s.a.w.a.) said: “O Lord, you know that these are my household, and the dearest people to me. Thus, love whoever loves them; and be enemy to whoever is their enemy...”[7]

            Umar ibn Khattab quotes the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) as saying: “Fatima, Ali, Hasan and Husain will be in the highest in heaven, in a white dome with the Throne of the Beneficent as its ceiling.”[8]

UMME ABIHA, FATIMA ZAHRA(s.a)

Her Birth:     

Fatima (s.a.) is the daughter of the Holy messenger of Allah, Muhammad ibn Abdullah (s.a.w.a.) and Khadija bint al-Khuwaylid (s.a.). She was born on the 20th of Jamadiul Akhar, 5 AH (the fifth year of hijrah)[i].

Her names:

            Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “In the presence of Allah, she is known by 9 names, which are Fatima, Siddiqah, Mubaraka, Tahera ,Zakiya, Radiya, Mohaddatha and Zahra.”[ii]

            Abu Jafar Qomi (Muhammad bin Husain, known as Abu Ja’far, writer and poet residing in Nishabor) has stated other names for her: “Batool, Hisna, Harah, Sayyidah, Azra, Haura, Maryam, Kubra, Sadiqah, Nuriya, Samiwiya wal Haniya.” Her epithets are as: “Umm al-Hasan (Hasan’s mother), Umma al-A’emma (mother of Imams) and Umme Abiha[iii] (father’s Mother). 

Her Childhood:

            It would take books to fully describe the life of the Holy Fatima(s.a.). Here, we will note some of the significant characteristics of her life. When she was 5 yrs old, her mother passed away. Fatima bint Asad(s.a.) (the wife of Prophet’s uncle and mother of Imam Ali(a.s.)) undertook to care for her. They migrated with Imam Ali(a.s.) and other Muslims from Mecca to Medina. After the death of Fatima bint Asad(s.a.), the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) entrusted Umme Salamah (his second wife) with her care.

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكِ يَا سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكِ يَا وَالِدَةَ الْحُجَجِ عَلَى النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ‏

ZIYARAT OF HAZRAT ZAHRA SA

SHAHADATE HAZRAT FATIMA ZAHRA (SA) - 14TH JAMADI UL AWWAL

Let us offer our condolences to Our Master Hazrat Mahdi Sahebuz Zaman (atfs)on the martydom of Hazrat Zahra (sa):

As Ameerul Momeneen Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as) says on  her martydom

"O Messenger of Allah! Your daughter will narrate to you the oppressions committed by the nation and how they snatched and destroyed her rights. You ask her everything in detail about the circumstances. Her life was filled with grief and anguish. She did not get a chance (in the world) to express her sorrow. She will narrate them to you.”

 يَحْكُمَ اللهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ

“Allah will judge and He is the best of judges”(Surah Yunus verse 109)

Ziyarat of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (sa)

“O Messenger of Allah! My farewell salutations to you. Neither am I tired of sending salutations upon you nor have I completed all that I want to say. If I am going back it is not to attend any business and if I am standing over here then it is not because I doubt Allah’s promise that he has made to those who are patient. Certainly patience is better. If the oppressors who forcibly snatched the reigns of the government had not overcome society, I would have sat next to your grave and stayed here and would have cried like a mother who cries on the death of her young son. Your daughter has been secretly buried right before the eyes of Allah and rights were forcibly snatched away from her. She was openly deprived of her inheritance while the covenants made to you were still fresh among the people and your memories were still vivid among the people.”

“O Messenger of Allah! I complain to you about all that has happened. Your character and personality is the best form of condolence and sympathy. May Allah send His blessings upon Zahra (s.a.) and upon you (s.a.w.a).”
