11. al-Kafi (d.329H)
- “Muhammad in
Yahya has narrated from al-‘Amrakiy ibn Ali from Ali ibn Ja‘far from his
brother from Abu al-Hassan (a.s.) who has said the following. “Fatima
is truthful and a martyr. The daughter of the prophet does not
experience menses.” (Sahih)[1]
- “... To
Allah I raise my complaints and your own daughter will explain to you how
your ’Umma (followers) succeeded in committing injustice against her.
You may ask her questions and find information about the case from her.
How great was the sorrow that she will find a place and an ear to express
to. She would say Allah will judge because he is the best judge. I offer
my prayer to Allah to grant you blessings as a note of farewell but not
because of disappointment and despair. If I return it is not that I have
become tired and if I will stand up it will not be because of pessimism in
the promise of Allah to those who exercise patience. Indeed, to exercise
patience is more safe and fruitful. Had it not been for the mischief of
the enemies I would have turned the place a place of worship andd would
have kept my worship continuous and would have cried like the mothers for
the death of their son for the great loss. In the sight of Allah your
daughter is buried secretly, her rights are taken away unjustly, her
inheritance is withheld for no valid reason. It all happened just
after you left and your memories are still fresh. To Allah O the Messenger
of Allah we complain and from you O the Messenger of Allah we seek
condolences. May Allah grant blessings to you and to her. May the peace
and happiness of Allah be with you.”[2]
- “Muhammad
ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn
’Isma‘il from Salih ibn ‘Aqaba from ‘Abdallah ibn Muhammad al-Ju‘fi from
abu Ja‘far (a.s.) and abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following.
“During the time of their doing (setting the door on fire) what they did
Fatima held ‘Umar by his collar and pulled (down) saying, “By Allah, O son
of al-Khattab, had I not disliked to inflicting calamity up on the
innocent people, you would have learned how quickly my swearing up on
Allah would have brought the swift response (with the wrath of Allah up on
you).”[3]
- “Humeyd Bin
Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan
Al-Maysami, from Aban Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Al-Mufazzal who said:
‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘Fatima (asws) went to a pillar in
the Masjid, and she (asws) was addressing the Holy Prophet (saww): ‘Events
have occurred after you (saww), and differences. Had you (as) witnessed
them, they would not have increased so much. We (asws) have missed you
(as) like the missing of the earth of its downpour of rain. And your
(saww) people are in disturbance, so witness them and do not be absent’.”[4]
- Al-Husayn
ibn Muhammad al-Ash‘ari has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Ahmad
ibn Muhammad from al-Harith ibn Ja’far from Ali ibn Isma‘il ibn Yaqtin
from ‘Isa ibn al-Mustafad, abu Musa al-Darir who has said that Musa ibn
Ja‘far (a.s.) narrated to me the following… The Messenger of Allah made
them to bear testimony. Of the matters that the Messenger of Allah set as
condition up on Ali (a.s.) on orders from Jibril of the commands of Allah,
the Most Holy, the Most High, were the following. He said, “O Ali, you
must follow the instruction in the will about loving those who love Allah
and His Messenger and to disdain and maintain unfriendly attitude towards
those who are enemies of Allah and His Messenger. It requires patience
on your part and control over your anger for the usurpation of my right
and the usurpation of one fifth that belongs to you and for the disregard
of your respect and honor.” Ali (a.s.) then said, “Yes, O the
Messenger of Allah, I accept it (this condition). Ali (a.s.) has said, “I
swear by the One Who helps the seed to burst open and shapes the fetuses
that I heard Jibril say to the Prophet (s.a) this. “O Muhammad, explain to
him that people will disregard his respect and honor which is the respect
and honor of Allah and His Messenger and that his beard will be tainted
with fresh blood (from his head).” Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) has said,
“A loud sigh came out of my mouth when I understood the very words of
Jibril, the trustworthy one. I fell up on my face to the ground and I
said, “Yes, I accept and agree even if it will end up to the disregard of
respect and honor. (I agree) even if (people) will disregard the noble
traditions, insult the Book, destroy the Kaaba and taint my beard with
fresh blood from my head. (I accept it) with patience and leave to Allah
for judgment for all times until I will arrive to meet you.”[5]
- “When they
came out with Ali (asws), Fatima (asws) also came out having placed the
shirt of the Rasool Allah (saww) upon her (asws) head, taking her (asws)
two sons (asws) by the hand. So she (asws) said: ‘What is it between me
(asws) and you, O Abu Bakr that you want to orphan my (asws) two sons
(asws) and widow me (asws) from my (asws) husband (asws)? By Allah (azwj)!
Had it not been a sin, I (asws) would have released my (asws) hair and
cried out to my (asws) Lord (azwj)!’ So a man from the people said, ‘What
do you want (from all) this?’ Then she (asws) took him (asws) (Ali (asws))
by his (asws) hand and left with him (asws)’.”[6]
12. Muruj al-dhahab (d.346H)
- “Yes, I am
not upset for anything in this world, except three things I have done and
I wish I had not done them and three things I have not done and I wish I
had done them and three things I wish I had asked the Prophet (s). But
what I wish I had not done, first is that I wish I had not invaded the
house of Fatima (a) (And he - Abu Bakr - mentioned a lot of details
regarding this matter), second is that I wish I had not burned Fuja’a
Sullami and instead I either had killed or released him. The third is that
I wish on the Day of Saqifa, I had left the caliphate on either of these
two men ‘Umar or Abu ‘Ubayda, that one of them would become the caliph and
I would become his minister … “[7]
13. Ithbat al-wasiyya (d.346H)
- "So he
left from them, and Prince of the believer (a.s) and whoever was with him
from his Shi'ee were in his house, from what was promised by the Messenger
of Allah (saw), so they directly went to his house and attacked it and
burnt his door and took him out forcefully and pressed the Lady of Women
(Faatima (s.a)) by the door until Mohsin (a.s) fell from a miscarriage,
and they took him by the 'Ba'yah' (allegiance) and he rejected and said:
"I will not."[8]
- It has been
narrated that he(i.e. Imam Al-Jawaad used to talk while he was still in a
minor age, and it has been narrated from Zakariyya Ibn Adam who said: I
was in the presence of Imam Al-Ridhathat Abi Ja'far came and he was about
four years old, he hit his hand on the ground and raised his head towards
the sky, thinking for quite a while, then Al-Ridha said to him: "May
I be your ransom, why you thought for so long?" He replied: "I
was thinking about what was done to my mother Fatimah . By Allah! I will
take both of them out (i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar) and I will burn them and
then I will disperse them and will leave their ashes to the wind."
Imam Al-Ridha called him to himself and kissed his forehead and said:
"May my father and mother be your ransom" and then said:
"You are the one for it" i.e. deserves Imamate.[9]
14. al-Khisal (d.381H)
Sheikh al-Saduq reports in along narration
from as-Sadiq the following line: “It is obligatory to cherish the friends of
the Sublime God and to hate and disavow their enemies who oppressed the
members of the Household of Muhammad , tore their curtain of respect; took the
tract of land called Fadak away from Fatimah; withheld her inheritance from
her; usurped her right and her husband’s right by force; tried to put her
house on fire; established oppression; and changed the traditions of the
Prophet of God”[10]
15. Amali al-Saduq (d.381H)
- “ … When I
saw her, I remembered what would happen to her after me. It is as if I am
with her, as disgrace enters her home, and her sanctity is violated, and
her right is taken away, and she is prevented from her inheritance, and
her side (rib) is broken, and her fetus is miscarried as she calls, “O
Muhammada!” and she is not answered. She will call for help, but not be
helped. After me, she will always be grieving, distressed, and weeping …”[11]
- “Muhammad b.
al-Hasan b. Ahmad b. al-Walid (ra) narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Idris
and Muhammad b. Yahya al-`Attar together narrated to us from Muhammad b.
Ahmad b. Yahya b. `Imran al Ash`ari. He said: Abu `Abdillah al-Razi
narrated to us from al-Hasan b. `Ali b. Abi Hamza from Sayf b. `Amira from
Muhammad b. `Utba from Muhammad b. `Abd al-Rahman from his father from
`Ali b. Abi Talib (as). He said: I and Fatima and al-Hasan and al-Husayn
were with the Messenger of Allah when he turned his face towards us and
started weeping. I said: Why do you weep, O Messenger of Allah? He said: I
weep because of what shall be done to you after me. I said: And what is
that, O Messenger of Allah? He said: I weep over the strike on you on the
side of your head and the slapping of Fatima on her cheek and the
stabbing of al-Hasan in the thigh and the poison which he will be given to
drink and the killing of al-Husayn. He said: So, the Ahl al-Bayt all wept
together. Then, I said: O Messenger of Allah! Our Lord did not create us
save for trial. He said: ``Rejoice, O `Ali, for Allah has confided in me
that none shall love you save a believer and none shall hold malice for
you save a hypocrite.”[12]
- Jabir b.
`Abdullah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say to `Ali b. Abi
Talib (as) three days prior to his death: The salutation of Allah be upon
you, the father of my two sweet-smelling basils of Allah. I entrust
my two descendants of this world to you, for soon shall your two pillars
be attacked. And Allah is my replacement over you. When the
Messenger of Allah (s) was seized, `Ali (as) said: This is one of my
pillars which the Messenger of Allah (s) had told me about. When Fatima
(as) died, `Ali (as) said: This is my second pillar whom the Messenger of
Allah (s) had mentioned.[13]
