Narrations from Imam Kazim (as) about persecutions upon Hazrat Zahra (sa)

The Holy Prophet (sawa) said, “The door of Fatima (A.S.) is my door, her house is mine; so, whoever violates its sanctity violates the sanctity of Allah’s barrier.”

`Allama al-Majlisi, may Allah Almighty have mercy on him, has transmitted from Kitab al-Taraf by the great `allama Sayyid Ibn Tawas, from Kitab al-Wasiyya by Shaikh `asa ibn al-Mustafad al-Darar from Masa ibn Ja`fer from his father saying that when the Messenger of Allah (A.S.) was about to leave this world for the next, he said, “O men of the Ansar! Parting is opportune… The door of Fatima (A.S.) is my door, her house is mine; so, whoever violates its sanctity violates the sanctity of Allah’s barrier.” `asa goes on to say that the father of al-Hasan (A.S.) wept for a long time. He discontinued his narrative then said, “By Allah! Allah’s barrier was violated! By Allah! Allah’s barrier was violated! By Allah! Allah’s barrier was violated! O nation blessed by Allah!”[1]

Invitation towards helping the truth

Janabe’ Salman reports that during the night, Hazrat Ali (a.s.), accompanied by Janabe’ Zahra (s.a.) and his sons, Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Hussain (a.s.) visited the houses of the companions of the Holy Prophet. He asked them by the right of Allah (s.w.t.) to help and support him. But besides us four, nobody even gave him a reply. We shaved our heads and prepared ourselves for his help. When Hazrat Ali (a.s.) saw that people were not ready to support him and that instead, all of them were in support of Abu Bakr, he confined himself to his house.[1]

what was the conduct of the ummat towards Ahle’ Bayt (a.s.)?

When Hazrat Ali (a.s.) completed the burial of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.), he busied himself in those works, which the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) had entrusted him with. He remained within the confines of his house.[1] Few members of Bani Hashim, some Ansar[2] and some Mohajirs presented themselves before him. Amongst these were Abbas[3], Zubayr[4], Miqdad[5], Talha[6], Sa’ad ibn Abi Waqqas[7] and No’man.

These people were displeased with the bay’at (allegiance) to Abu Bakr and wished to free themselves from it.[8] They desired to express their disapproval of the same[9] and wanted to pledge their support to Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.).[10]
