IMAM HUSSAIN (AS) AND JANABE FATEMA ZAHRA (SA)

Imam Mohammad Baqir (a.s.) or Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s.) informed Zoraarah,

قَالَ: يَا زُرَارَةُ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُؤْمِنَةٌ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ تُسْعِدَ فَاطِمَةَ  

فِي زِيَارَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع‏

‘O Zoraarah! It is necessary for every Shia on this earth to seek the pleasure and good wishes of Janabe Zahra (s.a.) through the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.).’

(Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 101 pg. 75)

Peace be upon you O’ Aba ‘Abdillah and upon the souls which were annihilated with you.  Upon you, from me, is the peace of Allah for eternity, as long as the night and the day remain and please do not make this (Ziyarat) as my last contact with you.  Greetings be upon Husayn, and upon ‘Ali the son of Husayn and upon the children of Husayn and upon the companions of Husayn.

Report of Hasan bin Farhan Maliki (modern scholar) about the attack on the house of revelation and martyrdom of Lady Zahra (sa)

Dr. Hasan bin Farhan Maliki, teacher and researcher of education, training, development and practice, has written in this regard:

Supporters of Ali (a), during allegiance to Umar were less than those who supported him (Ali) during allegiance of Abu Bakr; as in the beginning of Abu Bakr’s Caliphate they had besieged the house of Fatima as some companions were against paying allegiance to Abu Bakr. This claim is proved through correct authorities.[1]

Then he writes in its margin:

In the beginning I was of the view that the story of attack was false and incorrect, but after referring and research I found confirmed referential authorities of the same and one of those references is the statement of Ibne Abi Shaybah in Al-Musannaf; after that this tragic incident is proved through correct references.[2]
