و صاح اميرالمومنين بفضه: يا فضه! مولاتك فاقبلى منها ما تقبله النساء فقد جاءها المخاض من الرفسه ورد الباب فاسقطت محسنا. 

Then Ameerul Momeneen (as) called upon fizza after the assailants left from his house “ Rush towards your Mistress, then you admit her as the women are admitted , for she is certainly experiencing the pangs, due to her being kicked and the door being pushed on her. Then she has miscarried Mohsin (as) at the door being killed.” 

 
(يا فضه لقد عرفه رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله و سلم و عرفنى و عرف فاطمه و عرف الحسن و عرف الحسين اليوم بهذا الفعل و نحن فى نور الاظله، انوار عين يمين العرش، فواريه بقعر البيت خ)

 فقال اميرالمومنين عليه السلام: فانه لاحق بجده رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله و سلم فيكشو اليه.
[الهدايه الكبرى: ص 408.] 

“Oh fizza, certainly he (Mohsin) recognized the Holy Prophet (sawa) and recgnised me and recognized Fatemh (sa) and recognized Hasan (as) and recognized Hussain (as), (Mohsin knew about )  what happened today ( the Assault on Fatemah sa) while we were in the sate of light (noor) of the shadows ( azilla) , to the right of the throne (Arsh).. Then hide him in the soil of the house for certainly he (Mohsin ) shall join his grandfather Holy Prophet (sawa)”

Abu Bakr’s claim of consensus (ijmaa) on Fadak is pointless

The topic of Fadak and the bigger debate on the inheritance of divine Prophets (a.s.) is among the key and earliest distinguishing points between the Shias and others.

The majority claims that Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) – the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) daughter – had no right to Fadak because Allah’s Prophets (a.s.) do not leave behind inheritance.

To bolster their claim, they resort to the age-old formula of consensus (ijmaa) – meaning that the so-called Muslim majority and companions supported Abu Bakr in his claim that divine Prophets (a.s.) do not leave behind inheritance. This supposed consensus against Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) proves that Abu Bakr was right and Hazrat Fatima (s.a.) had no claim over Fadak.

Reply

There are many aspects to this debate and there are several ways to prove that Abu Bakr was mistaken like on many other occasions in his life, a fact already been established by scholars of both sects; thereby establishing Hazrat Fatima’s (s.a.) indisputable claim to Fadak.

We adopt another approach to this debate as suggested by a well-known Muslim scholar to prove that the argument of consensus of Abu Bakr is nullified by a similar argument in Hazrat Fatima’s (s.a.) favour.

Al-Jaahiz’s stand on the dispute over Fadak

Abu Usman al-Jaahiz, a well-known teacher and thinker of the Ahle Tasannun quotes Sayyid al-Murtaza Alam al-Hoda (r.a.):

The people (companions) presume that the veracity of the so-called tradition of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) narrated by the two men, meaning Abu Bakr and Umar that – ‘We the Prophets do not leave anything as inheritance’, can be established on the basis that when this was attributed to the Prophet (s.a.w.a.), the Muslims did not refute it – rather they accepted it.

But I (Jaahiz) say to those men who think likewise that if the veracity of this ‘tradition’ is proved because the people accept it (thereby signifying consensus), then the people did not even object against the claim and the protest of Ali (a.s.) and Fatima (s.a.), and this should also be a proof of their (Ali a.s. and Fatima’s s.a.) truthfulness.

No one objected to them, nor said that they were lying, even though the dispute and discussion between Fatima (s.a.) and Abu Bakr was prolonged.

Their enmity reached to an extent that Fatima (s.a.) willed that Abu Bakr should not even participate in her funeral prayers.

When Fatima (s.a.) approached Abu Bakr to claim her right, she demanded – When you die, who will inherit you?

Abu Bakr replied – My family and my children.

Fatima (s.a.) responded – How is it that we should not inherit from the Prophet (s.a.w.a.), but your children inherit from you?

When Abu Bakr prevented Fatima (s.a.) from claiming her father’s inheritance and started making excuses and when Fatima (s.a.) witnessed his cruelty and saw her own helplessness and loneliness, she rebuked Abu Bakr: By Allah! I will invoke Allah’s curse on you.

Abu Bakr – By Allah! I will invoke Allah for your well-being.

Fatima (s.a.) – By Allah! I will never speak with you from now on

Abu Bakr – By Allah! I will never be away from you.

Therefore, if the ‘truthfulness’ of Abu Bakr deprived Hazrat Fatima (s.a.) from her father’s inheritance can be established on the grounds that the companions did not protest against him, then it can be said that Hazrat Fatima (s.a.) was also truthful in her claim (since no one protested against her either).

The least that was necessary for the Muslims was that if Hazrat Fatima (s.a) was unaware (of the rule of Islam), then they should have explained it to her, and if she had forgotten, then they should have reminded her. If her talks were baseless (we seek refuge in Allah!) or she was going astray or severing relations, then they should have rectified her by protesting.

Thus, it can be concluded that if no one protested against those two men, and no one even protested against Hazrat Fatima (s.a.) – then the two parties are at par in opposing each other and no one can argue on the basis of consensus in favour of Abu Bakr (because Fatima (s.a.) can likewise claim consensus for her stand!).

In this matter, we should refer to the original rules of inheritance and ordinances of Allah (in the Holy Quran) regarding the matter of inheritance, and this is the best mode to follow.

• Al-Shafi v. 1 p. 233 of Sayyid al-Murtaza (r.a.)
• Bait al-Ahzan pp. 165-167

Clearly, even the earliest scholars of the Ahle Tasannun were of the view that the consensus on Fadak was not a strong argument in Abu Bakr’s favour. Given that consensus can be claimed by both parties, the only way to break this deadlock is with the Holy Quran’s ordinance on inheritance. Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) herself has laid out plainly in the Sermon on Fadak that the Holy Quran has categorically stated that fathers leave inheritance for their children and even divine Prophets like Prophet Dawood (a.s.) and Prophet Zakariyya (a.s.) left inheritance for their progenies.

Take lesson, O people of intellect!

The Crying For Imam Hussain (as) Reaches Lady Fatima (s.a.) and Her Lamentation

It is written in the book Kamiluz Ziyarat ( chp 26 tdn no 7) :

Abu Basir says: I was speaking with Imam Sadiq (a.s.) when one of his sons entered. Imam (a.s.) said: ‘May Allah bless you’; and then embraced and kissed him.

Then he (as) said: ‘May Allah degrade those who dishonored you. May Allah avenge those who oppressed you. May Allah disappoint those who deserted you. May Allah curse those who slain you. May Allah be your guardian, protector and helper. Prophets, truthful ones, martyrs, angels of the heavens and our ladies have been weeping on you’.

Then Imam (a.s.) began to weep and said: ‘Abu Basir, when I look at the children of Imam Husain (a.s.), grief overcomes me when I remember what was meted out to them and to their father.’

‘Abu Basir, Fatima (s.a.) weeps and laments over Husain (a.s.) as a result of which Hell sighs so intensely, that if the keepers of Hell who also hear her voice did not prepare themselves to restrain it, it would burn all the inhabitants of the earth with its blazing fires and sparking fumes. So the keepers restrain it and hold its doors tightly closed as long as Fatima (s.a.) laments. Because they fear for the inhabitants of the earth. But Hell is not pacified until Fatima’s lamentation ends.’

‘Abu Basir, the seas almost split apart and collide with each other. There is a dedicated angel for every drop of water and they prevent every drop from boiling with their wings; keeping it together because of their fear for this world and everything in it. The angels remain in fear and cry for her crying. And they pray to Allah and beseech Him, after which the inhabitants of the Arsh and those around it beg Allah.’

‘Then their voices are raised in glorification of Allah, all because of their fear for the people of the earth. Even if one of their voices reached the earth, all the inhabitants would swoon, mountains would crumble and the earth would shake with its inhabitants.’

Abu Basir said, “May I be sacrificed on you! It is really a serious matter.”

Imam (a.s.) said, “That which you have not heard is greater. Abu Basir! Don’t you want to be of those who support Lady Fatima (s.a.)?”

When I heard this, I cried so much that I could not speak nor could the Imam (a.s.) do, because he was crying so intensely. Then he went to his prayer room and began to recite a supplication.

So I left the Imam in that state. I could not eat or sleep that night. The following morning, I was fasting and was in extreme fear when I went to Imam (a.s.). I heaved as sigh of relief when I saw that he had calmed down; and I praised and glorified Allah, because no chastisement or calamity had befallen me

ABUBAKR WAS NEVER POLITE WITH HAZRAT ZEHRA (SA)

Among the myths that have gained currency in the books of the Ahle Tasannun is that Abu Bakr was extremely courteous and polite in his interaction with Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) over the matter of Fadak. He is portrayed as calm and dignified even as Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) was vehemently staking her claim to Fadak.

Reply

We do not wish to discuss the merits of the argument over Fadak at this stage since it’s undeniably established in the Holy Quran that all Muslims inherit and that goes for divine Prophets (a.s.) too. Even Abu Bakr had no reply to the Quranic verses advanced by Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) to back her claim for Fadak.

The rather lame attempt by the rulers of advancing the so-called report – ‘We Prophets do no leave any inheritance nor do we inherit’ flies in the face of proofs and witnesses advanced by Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.). Although supporters of the two Shaikhs have devoted much time and effort in explaining Abu Bakr’s stand, it does not count at this stage. The arguments should have been advanced by Abu Bakr in front of Fatima Zahra (s.a.) in the mosque in the presence of the so-called Muslims.

Advancing one peculiar, rarely heard of tradition to counter several Quranic verses and reliable witnesses is itself evidence of the failure of the administration to defend its bogus claim on Fadak.

At this stage, we are particularly interested in evaluating the so-called courteousness and politeness of the first ruler.

View of the Ahle Tasannun on Abu Bakr’s politeness

Rather than give the Shiite viewpoint on Abu Bakr, we quote a renowned Ahle Tasannun scholar on the subject.

Abu Usman al-Jaahiz the celebrated Ahle Tasannun scholar himself first poses the question of Abu Bakr’s politeness and then goes on to answer this query.

ON THE SAD OCCASION OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE GRAVES OF JANNATUL BAQI BY THE WAHABIS

( 8TH SHAWWAL -1345 AH / April 21, 1925)

 ____________________________________________________

 HISTORY OF THE CEMETERY OF JANNAT AL-BAQI

WHERE IMAM HASAN B. ALI (2ND IMAM), IMAM ALI B. AL-HUSAYN (4TH IMAM), IMAM MUHAMMAD B. ALI (5TH IMAM), & IMAM JA'FAR B. MUHAMMAD (6TH IMAM), PEACE BE UPON THEM, ARE BURIED

---

On 8th Shawwal, Wednesday, in the year 1345 AH (April 21, 1925), mausoleums in Jannatul al-Baqi (Madina) were demolished by King Ibn Saud.

In the same year (1925), he also demolished the tombs of holy personages at Jannat al-Mualla (Makkah) where the Holy Prophet (s)'s mother, wife, grandfather and other ancestors are buried.

Destruction of sacred sites in Hijaz by the Saudi Wahhabis continues even today. According to some scholars what is happening in Hijaz is actually a conspiracy plotted by the Jews against Islam, under the guise of Tawheed. The idea is to eradicate the Islamic legacy and heritage and to systematically remove all its vestiges so that in the days to come, Muslims will have no affiliation with their religious history.

Why Abu Bakr discontinued Ummul Momineen Umm Salmah’s (r.a.) pension ?

The matter of Fatima Zahra’s (s.a.) inheritance usually stirs a raging debate between the Shias and their opponents, who maintain that Fatima Zahra (s.a.) did not have the right to inheritance. The Shias of Ahle Bait (a.s.) are of the view that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) did in fact leave behind as a gift or in the least as inheritance the property of Fadak for his only daughter whom he (s.a.w.a.) held in high regard.

Reply

This debate has many answers leading us to conclude categorically that Fadak was the property of Fatima Zahra (s.a.) in the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) very life time.

Over here we bring one such argument advanced by Ummul Momineen Umm Salmah (r.a.) in support of Fatima Zahra (s.a.).

It is documented in Al-Durr al-Nazeem by Jamaaluddeen Yusuf Ibn Haatim – the jurist of Syria – that when Ummul Momineen Umm Salmah (r.a.)  was informed about Abu Bakr’s dismissive response to Fatima (s.a.) regarding Fadak she remarked:

Is it right that a person like Fatima (s.a.) should be addressed with such words? By Allah! Fatima (s.a.) is a human fairy, the soul for the soul (of Prophet s.a.w.a.), raised in pious laps, fed with the hands of angels, grown in the laps of immaculate ones, with the best upbringing and with the nourishment of the best nourisher.
Can you imagine that the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.) would deprive her from her inheritance and would not even care to inform her about it?!
This is while Allah had instructed His Prophet (s.a.w.a.) – ‘And warn your nearest relations.’ (Surah Shoara (26): 214).
Would he (s.a.w.a.) not have warned her (s.a.) that she would not receive any inheritance? And would she (s.a.) oppose him (s.a.w.a.) and stake a claim to her inheritance?!
This is while she (s.a.) is the best of the women, the mother of the masters of the youth (of Paradise) and (more than) an equal to Maryam, the daughter of Imran? The message of Allah (s.a.w.a.) concluded with her father and I swear by Allah that the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.) shielded Fatima (s.a.) against heat and cold and would make his right hand her pillow and his left one her blanket, gently. (Know that) you are being observed by the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.). And towards Allah is your return. Woe betide you.
Very soon you will learn the truth.
It was in the same year that Umm Salmah’s (r.a.) pension was withdrawn by Abu Bakr.

Who is the bigger oppressor – killer of Hazrat Fatima (s.a.) or killer of Imam Husain (a.s.)?

The progeny of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) have always been victims of oppression and tyranny. This is despite their proximity to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the sheer number of clear instructions from Allah the High and the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) to the Muslims to love and respect them (a.s.).

Two personalities from the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) in particular who were made targets of untold suffering and afflictions by the oppressors were Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) and Imam Husain Ibn Ali (a.s.).

The oppressors left no stone unturned in harassing, torturing and finally killing these two infallible personalities (a.s.).

It is worth evaluating who was the bigger tyrant – killer of Fatima Zahra (s.a.) or killer of Imam Husain (a.s.).

We highlight one incident each to underscore who from the two was the bigger tyrant.

Shimr’s cowardice

Muhammad Ibn Jurair al-Tabari records in his history: Shimr Ibn Zil Jawshan advanced until he reached a particular tent of Imam Husain (a.s.), and striking it with his lance said: Bring me fire so that I may burn it along with its inmates!

Hearing this, the women-folk started shrieking and came out of the tents in panic.

Imam Husain (a.s.) called out loudly: O son of Zil Jawshan! Do you ask for fire to be brought so as to burn the tent along with my family? May Allah burn you in the fire (of hell)!

Hameed Ibn Muslim relates: I said to Shimr Ibn Zil Jawshan, ‘Glory be to Allah! This does not befit you. Do you desire to taste the wrath of Allah by killing the children and ladies? By Allah! The commander will be pleased with you by killing the men only.’

Then Shimr asked me as to who I was and I said: I shall not disclose who I am.

I said this, for by Allah, I feared that he would complain about me to the ruler.

Thereafter, Shabath Ibn Rib’ee – may Allah curse him – came to Shimr, whose orders he obeyed more (than any other person), and said: I have not heard a more evil speech from you before, nor have I seen a more degraded situation that you have placed yourself into! Have you now started frightening the women?

Upon hearing this, Shimr relented and retreated.

O Lord of Muhammad! Protect the occultation of Muhammad. 

O Lord of Muhammad! Hasten the revenge of daughter of Muhammad.”

Shaikhain’s apology did not meet the standards set by the Majestic Quran (a.s.)

Introduction

Some Muslims claim that the Shaikhain – the first and second pseudo-caliphs – expressed remorse after attacking Hazrat Zahra’s (s.a.) house and usurping Fadak.

They maintain that the apology should have been accepted by Fatima Zahra (a.s.). By not accepting the apology, Hazrat Zahra (a.s.) has been unreasonable (we seek refuge in Allah!) and some Muslims go as far as to allege that she was by nature short-tempered and took offense at the slightest provocation. To prove their point by hook or by crook, these so-called Muslims even fabricate incidents, which paid historians have recorded in their chronicles.

Reply

1. Apology exposes Shaikhain’s blunder
2. Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) is chief of all women of Paradise
3. Allah also rejects apology (a.s.)
3. Shaikhain’s apology did not meet the standards set by the Majestic Quran (a.s.)

1. Apology exposes Shaikhain’s blunder

By defending the Shaikhain for seeking forgiveness, these Muslims have admitted that the Shaikhain were at fault. For if they were not at fault, then why the apology?

This means that Hazrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.) was right on the matter of Fadak and the Shaikhain were wrong.

It also means that the Shaikhain were wrong on the matter of caliphate. The argument of consensus (ijmaa) on the matter of caliphate is nullified with the apology of the Shaikhain.

Shaikhain’s apology shows that there was no consensus at all, neither on caliphate nor Fadak.

Abu Bakr confesses to hurting Hazrat Fatima (s.a.)

It has been established in the preceding pages beyond a shadow of doubt that the caliph’s cohorts initially laid siege to Hazrat Faatemah’s (s.a.) house to intimidate the inmates and when that did not have the desired effect, they attacked the house by setting it aflame. In this way, the hooligans violated the sanctity of the house and that of its inmates about whom the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had made innumerable recommendations, some of which have been outlined in the initial chapters. The attack and ensuing violation are established facts and none can raise any doubts whatsoever.

Even Ibne Taiymiyyah did not find anything objectionable as far as the veracity of the chain of incidents is concerned.

If there are still some people who doubt the attacks then they are worse than Ibne Taymiyyah who at least accepts their occurrence. And if some of the deniers include Shiahs, then it is a matter of regret how they can consider themselves as lovers of Ahle Bait (s.a.w.a.) while denying the wrongdoing of the Ahle Bait’s oppressors, a fact accepted by the Shiahs of the oppressors (i.e. Sunnis and Wahhabis)!

The attack was considered with such alacrity and ferocity that it makes one wonder what they were expecting to find over there. Were they expecting to find some wealth or property of Allah that had been embezzled by the inmates through recovery of which they sought proximity of Allah and His Prophet (s.a.w.a.)?![1]

Indeed, it was clear very soon to the oppressors the extent of their wrongdoing. That is why it is narrated that when Abu Bakr’s death was imminent, he confessed:

‘I do not feel remorse over any worldly affair save three actions which I regret performing. Likewise, I feel remorse over three actions which I abandoned while it would have been better if I had performed them. I wish I had sought the answers from the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) for three questions…’

This narration is very important although we will only elaborate on the portion that is relevant in this discussion.

وددت انی لم اکشف بیت فاطمہ عن شئی و ان کانوا قد غلقوہ علی الحرب وددت انی کنت سالت رسول اللہ لمن ھٰذا الامر فلا ینازعہ احد

“I wish I had not forced Faatemah to open her house, even if it had been locked for battle.

I wish I had asked the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) about the identity of his successor so I would not oppose him on any matter.”

Cursing the killers of Fatima Zahra (s.a.) invites good wishes of Aale Muhammad (a.s.)

Introduction

When it comes to cursing the tormentors of Ahle Bait (a.s.) (called Tabarra in religious lingo), there is usually a lot of argument and debate on toning down the pitch, not using names, not cursing openly, in fact and not cursing at all to keep unity among the Muslims.

There is also loose talk on how the Aale Muhammad (a.s.) never encouraged cursing of the companions and wives and prohibited open and evident Tabarra due to dissimulation.

While there are many answers to such baseless objections, we bring an incident that completely smashes the objections against Tabarra from all aspects.

Bashshaar al-Mukaari relates: I had the honour to be in the presence of Imam Sadiq (a.s.) in Kufa. Imam (a.s.) was eating dates. When I entered, he (a.s.) said: Bashshaar sit with me and eat dates.

I said: May I be sacrificed for you! On the way I witnessed a sight that pained my heart severely and I am unable to eat due to the uneasiness.

Imam (a.s.): What did you see on the way?

I said: On the way I saw a government official beating a woman on the head and dragging her towards prison. She was wailing loudly for help through the medium of Allah and the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) from everyone, but none offered to help her.

Imam (a.s.): But what was the woman’s crime?

I said: The people were relating that the woman had stumbled on the road and in this condition cried out, ‘May Allah curse the ones who oppressed you, O Fatima!

Imam (a.s.), merely on hearing this, began weeping intensely so much so that his handkerchief and blessed beard and his holy chest were moistened with his tears.

Imam (a.s.) said: Bashshaar! Let us visit Masjid al-Sehlah and pray for the salvation of the woman. In the meantime, also send someone so that he brings news from the court about the woman’s condition.

Bashshaar said: We entered Masjid al-Sehlah and prayed two units of prayers. Imam (a.s.) prayed for the woman’s salvation and went in prostration. He (a.s.) lifted his head from prostration and said: Let us go! They have released her!

We stepped out of the mosque. By then the man who had been sent to inquire about her condition returned and informed Imam (a.s.): They have released her.

Imam (a.s.) asked: How was she freed?

The man said: I do not know but when I went to the court, I saw that the woman had been released from prison. They brought her in front of the ruler. He asked the woman: What have you done that they have arrested you?

The woman narrated the incident. The ruler offered 200 dirhams to that woman (as compensation), but she did not accept. The ruler insisted: Consider us lawful, take this dirham. The woman still did not accept the money. She was nonetheless set free.

Imam (a.s.) asked: She did not take the 200 dirhams?

I said: No, I swear by Allah!

Imam (a.s.) said: Bashshaar! Give these seven dinaar to her because she is in severe need of this money. Also convey my salaam to her.

When I gave the seven dinaar to the woman and conveyed salaam of Imam Sadiq (a.s.), she asked elated: Has Imam (a.s.) sent salaam for me?

I said: Yes

The woman fell unconscious due to sheer joy. When she regained consciousness she repeated: Has Imam (a.s.) sent salaam for me?

I said: Yes! And she asked me this thrice. She requested me to convey her greetings to Imam (a.s.) and to request him (a.s.) to consider her a slave, in need of his (a.s.) supplications.

Thereafter I returned and conveyed the matter to Imam Sadiq (s.a.). Imam (a.s.) on hearing this began weeping and prayed for her.

Grief for Fatima (s.a.) and hatred for her enemies is defining trait of Imamat

Doubt

The infallible Imams (a.s.) were consumed with grief over the untold difficulties and afflictions heaped on Fatima Zahra (s.a.), the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) beloved daughter, by the pseudo-caliphs.

Shaikh Abbas al-Qummi (r.a.) says: The sufferings of Fatima Zahra (s.a.) were more painful to her infallible sons (a.s.), the Imams (a.s.), than the wounds of swords and knives; and her pain was more scorching to them (a.s.) than fire. It was decreed for them (by Allah the High) to observe dissimulation (taqiyyah) and thus, they could not reveal the sufferings of Fatima Zahra (s.a.). Thus, when the name of Fatima (s.a.) was taken in their presence, their hearts would turn sorrowful and anyone with intellect could observe its effect on their noble visages. (Bait Al-Ahzaan, p. 136)

This grief was a defining feature of their Imamat and made itself evident in two ways – weeping over her (tawalla) and cursing her tormentors (tabarra).

Reply

1. Imam Muhammad b. Ali al-Jawad’s (a.s.) grief
2. Imam Muhammad b. Ali al-Baqir’s (a.s.) grief 
3. Imam Jafar al-Sadiq’s (a.s.) grief
 
The following incidents illustrate this point to some extent.

 Imam Muhammad b. Ali al-Jawad’s (a.s.) grief

Zakariyya Ibn Adam narrates:

One day, I was in the presence of Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) when his son, Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (a.s.), who was less than four years old, was brought to him. As he came in, he (a.s.) struck his palms on the ground, raised his head towards the heavens and remained engrossed in deep thought for a long time.

Seeing this, Imam Reza (a.s.) (asked him) – May I be your ransom! What are you thinking about?

Imam Jawad (a.s.) replied: I am engrossed in thought regarding the sufferings that befell my mother, Fatima (s.a.). By Allah! I will bring out those two men (Shaikhain) from their graves and burn them and then scatter their ashes into the seas.

Hearing this, Imam Reza (a.s.) asked his son to be brought closer to him, kissed him (a.s.) on his forehead and remarked, ‘May my parents be your ransom! You are worthy for this affair (Imamat).’
