Discussion about the attack on the house of revelation and
martyrdom of the Lady of the two worlds, Her Eminence, Fatima Zahra (s) has
started again after sometime. It can be concluded from reliable traditional
reports that this matter, for the first time, was mentioned by the Holy Prophet
(s). For example, it is possible to reason through the following report about
which we shall discuss in detail at a later stage:
Juwaini[1]
(d. 730 A.H.) – Ahle Sunnat scholars call him Imam of the Two sanctuaries (Imamul
Harmain) and Imam Juwaini and is having a position of a person like Dhahabi[2];
he has narrated from the Messenger of Allah (s) as follows:
When I see Fatima (s), I am
reminded of the tragedies that are to befall her after my passing away. As if I
can see with my own eyes, that disrespect has entered her house, her sanctity
is destroyed, her right has been usurped; she is deprived of her inheritance,
her side is broken and her unborn son is killed in the womb; she wails: O
Muhammada, but no one comes for her rescue…Fatima would be my first family
member to join me after being aggrieved and oppressed and after being martyred.[3]

Juwaini’s position according to Ahle Sunnat:
Dhahabi has mentioned his
teacher, Juwaini as follows:
“Juwaini is Imam, leader,
extraordinary and perfect traditionist, pride of Islam and an honest and
righteous person.

Shamsuddin Muhammad Dhahabi (d. 748 A.H.), Darul Kutub Ilmiya, Beirut , First edition.
In the same way, he says in
another place:
He is the Imam of
traditional reports and traditions, uniquely perfect, source of pride for
Islam, chief of religion, Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin Mobad bin Hamya Khorasani
Juwaini…according to traditional reports and available books of traditions, he
is having much importance. He had a nice voice, elegant face, he is awesome and
religious.

Dhahabi’s position according to Ahle Sunnat:
Dhahabi is an incomparable
personality among scholars of Ahle Sunnat, a very lofty position and high rank
of a rare kind. He was born in 673 A.H. in the Kufr Batna province in the area
of Damascus (d.
748 A.H.), he was able to learn traditions by heart and he dedicated his whole
life to it. Views of Dhahabi are considered very reliable in most tradition and
history books and he is called as the historian of Islam and Imam of
traditionists. Sobki has written about him:
Dhahabi is the traditionist
of the time, leader of the memorizers of traditions, he was aware of the
various aspects of the science of traditions; he was the standard bearer of
Ahle Sunnat wal Jamat, leader of his time in the science of memorization and
criticism of traditions; he was a unique personality of his times; and all have
admitted to his capabilities.
