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.

volume | book | chapter | tradition number





يارب محمد عجل فرج آل محمد

 يارب محمد أحفظ غيبة أبنه محمد

 يارب محمـــد أنتقم لأبنه محمـــد

"O Lord of Muhammad! Hasten the reappearance of the progeny of Muhammad. 

O Lord of Muhammad! Protect the occultation of Muhammad. 

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

Is Fatima Zahra’s (s.a.) anger a small matter?

Some Muslims are in denial about the displeasure of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) and Fatima Zahra (s.a.) with the pseudo-caliphs and companions after the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) demise. They maintain that both of them (a.s.) were satisfied with these usurpers and relations between them were cordial.
However, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, some do concede that both (a.s.) were indeed upset with the usurpers and made their displeasure unknown in the most uncertain terms. In fact, the way they were treated by these usurpers and Muslims after the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) demise left no doubt about how Ameerul Momineen Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) and Fatima Zahra (s.a.) viewed the companions and caliphs.
But even after this, these Muslims shrug off the blame from the companions and caliphs by claiming that it was an error in jurisprudence (khata-e-ijtehaadi), a minor sin for which forgiveness is possible and nothing serious must be read into the situation.

Ibn Abi al-Hadid’s view on Fatima (s.a.) and caliphs

Let us first begin with what Abd al-Rahman Ibn Abi al-Hadid al-Motazeli has to say about Fatima Zahra’s (s.a.) stand vis-à-vis the usurpers. Ibn Abi al-Hadid al-Motazeli is a noted Ahle Tasannun scholar and although some allege that he was a Shia, it is clear from this statement that he was certainly not a Shia and very much part of the mainstream ‘Sunni’ ideology.
Ibn Abi al-Hadid writes, ‘In my view what is true is that when Fatima (s.a.) departed from this world, she was angry with Abu Bakr and Umar and had written in her will that they should not even participate in the prayers of her dead body. This act (the disrespect shown to Fatima (s.a.)) is considered a minor sin in the eyes of our scholars but an act which can be forgiven.’
However, it would have been better if Abu Bakr and Umar respected Fatima (s.a.) and considered her eminence (before acting as they did). But they feared discord and controversy and acted upon that which was best in their estimation as they held a prominent position in religion and powerful certitude. If a similitude of this episode is found anywhere, it is not a major sin but rather, a minor one and should not be made a criterion for friendship or enmity (towards them).’
• Sharho Nahj al-Balaaghaah vol pg 6 pg 49-50

Reply

Back to Top1. A ‘small matter’ for Muslims could be a grievous matter for Allah

Before writing off Fatima’s (s.a.) anger as a ‘small matter’, these so-called Muslims should consider the following verse of the Holy Quran:
‘…and you deemed it an easy matter while with Allah it was grievous.’
(Surah Nur (24): Verse 15)
Have these Muslims considered the possibility that what they consider a ‘small matter’ regarding Fatima’s (s.a.) anger is a grievous matter near Allah the High?
If Fatima’s (s.a.) anger can be dismissed as a ‘small matter’, then any number of crimes and misdeeds can be overlooked
under the same pretext like accusing the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) wife – Maariyah Qibtiyyah of adultery (we seek refuge in Allah!). But Allah the High says regarding the accusation – ‘you consider it an easy matter while with Allah it was grievous.’

Prediction of the Messenger of Allah (s) about martyrdom of Lady Fatima Zahra (s) in Ahle Sunnat sources

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]



[1] 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.
Tadkirah Huffaz, Vol. 4, Pg. 1, No, 1. Teachers of the author of Tadkirah, Abu Abdullah 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.
Tadkiratul Huffaz, Vol. 4, Pg. 1, No. 24, Abu Abdullah Shamsuddin Muhammad Dhahabi (d. 748 A.H.), Darul Kutub Ilmiya, Beirut, First edition.
[2] 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.

 يارب محمـــد أنتقم لأبنه محمـــد

OBJECTIONS AGAINST HAZRAT FATEMAH ZAHRA (SA) AND THEIR REPLIES - OBJECTION NO 6

Objection 6: If Fatima (s) was attacked, why Bani Hashim did not defend her 

Wahabis, in order to deny the attack on the house of revelation, have raised objections like the one mentioned above:

The Holy Prophet (s) was able to train thousands of loyal persons and those devoted to Islam; that they should be present on the path of Allah and defend it; and his Ahle Bayt (a) laid down their lives for its sake. In case we accept the attack on the house of Fatima (r), which the enemies of Islam consider to be true, the question arises that why Bani Hashim witnessed the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (s) being slapped, burning down of the door of the house, killing of the six month old Mohsin…but not once did they utter the least protest? All of them were sincere and loyal Muslims, who had ties of relationship with the Prophet and also had communal ties with him; what happened that they kept absolutely quiet and did not raise any objection?

With attention to many similarities, which exist between the previous doubt and the present one, many replies can also be common, but despite that we will mention some instances.
Firstly, the above statement is having more emotional and provoking words than reasoning and logical proofs, because reports have been recorded in Ahle Sunnat books with correct and proved chains of narrators and we mentioned them in the first part of this book, thus confirming attack on the house of Lady Fatima Zahra (s) and Amirul Momineen (a) and removing all kinds of doubts in this matter.
Moreover, with reference to authentic Ahle Sunnat and Wahabi texts, it can be easily concluded that even if the people of Medina had wanted to defend, they did not have any power to take any such steps due to the circumstances that arose there.

While Amirul Momineen (a) was busy with the last rites of the Messenger of Allah (s), Quraish and its leaders: Abu Bakr and Umar usurped his right and through the greed of characters like Abu Sufyan managed to win the loyalties of some people of Quraish. By this description it becomes clear that other tribes did not have the strength to confront Quraish.
Abu Bakr and Umar had gathered in Medina numerous nomad tribes who had embraced Islam at the point of the sword and attracted the attention of new Muslims to their personal gains, as Amirul Momineen (a) in all the battles was the pivot of victory of Islam and they harbored deep animosity with him and the hypocrites took advantage of this same malice.
Thus, taking advantage of the divisions in this group and also the nomadic desert tribes of the outskirts of Medina surrounded the house of Amirul Momineen (a) and wanted to reduce it to ashes.
Tabari in his Tarikh, Mawardi Shafei in Hawiul Kabir and Abdul Wahab Nuwairi in Nihayatul Arab say:
The Aslam tribe had crowded Medina in such a way that lanes and by-lanes were overflowing with them so that allegiance of Abu Bakr may take place. Later, Umar used to say: When I saw the Aslam tribe, I became sure of victory.[1]

OBJECTIONS AGAINST HAZRAT FATEMAH ZAHRA (SA) AND THEIR REPLIES - OBJECTION NO 5 PART 2

Objection 5: If Fatima (s) was attacked why Ali (a) did not defend her? 

CONTINUED FROM PART 1 ......


One who has raised the above doubt and said: Why Ali (a) did not stage an uprising? Or how his modesty permitted him to watch such a treatment being meted out to his wife; should reply to the same objection regarding Prophet Lut (a):
The wife of Prophet Lut (a) was a disbeliever, the community of Lut (a) was sinful; the disbelievers forced themselves into the house of Lut (a) and saw handsome youths there. They expressed their satantic desires with regard to those youths. Prophet Lut (a) said: Fear Allah; if you refrain from this vile deed, I will marry my daughters to you.
Now, a number of questions arise at this point, which the doubt raisers should reply:
Why Prophet Lut (a) was not ashamed of the evil behavior of his disbelieving community, why he did not take to arms and attack them? On the contrary, he suggested to them that he was ready to give his daughters in marriage to them. Can – God forbid – Prophet Lut (a) be blamed from shamelessness?
Pay attention to the translation of the verse of Quran in this regard:

وَلَمَّا جَاءتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِيءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَـذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيبٌ {77} وَجَاءهُ قَوْمُهُ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ هَـؤُلاء بَنَاتِي هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ
“And when Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved for them, and he lacked strength to protect them, and said: This is a hard day. And his people came to him, (as if) rushed on towards him, and already they did evil deeds. He said: O my people! these are my daughters- they are purer for you, so guard against (the punishment of) Allah…” (Surah Hud 77-78)

If not staging an uprising by Amirul Momineen (a) is an occasion for some questions, why with regard to not staging an uprising by the Holy Prophet (s) in Mecca for thirteen years is not having any objection?
Did the Messenger of Allah (s) not witness tortures and unlimited oppressions on Muslims in Mecca? Amirul Momineen (a), by this same argument did not show any reaction that the Messenger of Allah (s) at the time of killing of Sumayyah, mother of Ammar Yasir at the hands of the idolaters and his confrontation with them did not show any reaction.
Ibne Hajar Asqalani has written in Isabah:
Sumayyah binte Khabbat…mother of Ammar Yasir is the seventh to embrace Islam. Abu Jahl harassed her and stabbed her in the lower abdomen with a spear till she achieved martyrdom. She was the first female martyr in Islam and since she had embraced Islam and did not give it up, the family of Bani Mughira tortured and harassed her till she was martyred. The Messenger of Allah (s) witnessed the scene of torture of Ammar and his parents in Mecca and said: O family of Yasir, be patient, as Paradise is promised to you.[1]
Since the Messenger of Allah (s) was seeing that idolaters like Abu Jahl were harassing Muslim ladies, he did not display any reaction to it and also ordered them to be absolute patient in all this.
Was the Messenger of Allah (s) not the most modest and valiant person of the world? Thus, why he did not defend the Muslim ladies? Why he did not take up the sword to strike off the head of Abu Jahl?
Whatever replies the Wahabis give with regard to the absence of staging uprising by the Holy Prophet (s), we will give the same reply to the topic of Amirul Momineen (a) not staging an uprising.

OBJECTIONS AGAINST HAZRAT FATEMAH ZAHRA (SA) AND THEIR REPLIES - OBJECTION NO 5 PART 1

Objection 5: If Fatima (s) was attacked why Ali (a) did not defend her?


Among the most important doubts, which Wahabis propagate to instigate the feelings of people with an aim to deny attack on the house of revelation is that if such an attack ever took place, why Amirul Momineen (a) did not defend his wife? Was he not the victorious lion of Allah and the most valiant person of his time? Ali, who was the victorious lion of Allah and who possessed the enemy-routing sword and a hand with which he raised the gate of Fort Khyber, how even after having so much strength he saw his spouse being beaten up in his presence, but did not display any reaction? And…

Throughout history, Shia scholars have given various replies to this objection, which we shall briefly state in few points as follows:

Amirul Momineen (a), in the first stage and when his house took the shape of confrontation, displayed severe reaction and confronted the attackers, including Umar. He seized his collar, threw him down and fisted his neck and face; but since the Imam was commanded patience, he refrained from continuing the dispute and according to the command of the Messenger of Allah (s), he observed patience.
Amirul Momineen (a) in fact, wanted Umar and his other companions to understand that if he had not been ordered to observe patience and if the order of the Almighty Allah had been to the contrary, no one would have dared to attack the house of Fatima (s) and give way to their imagination; but the Imam, like always, was obedient to the command of the Almighty Allah.
Sulaym bin Qays Hilali, a sincere companion of Amirul Momineen (a), has written regarding this:
Umar asked for fire and ignited it at the door of the house and the door broke. He opened it and entered. Lady Zahra (s) came to him and screamed: O father, O Messenger of Allah (s)! Umar raised the sword while it was in its cover and hit at the side of Fatima. Fatima called out again: O father! Umar raised the whip and hit at the side of Fatima. She called out again: O Messenger of Allah (s)! See how Abu Bakr and Umar are behaving with your survivors! Ali (a) stood up all of a sudden and seized the collar of Umar and pulled him down so hard that he fell down. Then he fisted him at his nose and neck and wanted to eliminate him, but he remembered the statement of the Prophet and the bequest he had made to him and he stood up and said: O son of Sahhak, by the one who sent Muhammad as a Prophet, if divine will and covenant of the Prophet had not been there on my neck, you would have known that you would not have been able to enter my house.[1]
In the same way, Alusi, the well known Wahabi commentator, quoting Shia sources has narrated this report:
Umar became infuriated and burnt down the door of the house of Ali (a) and entered the house. Fatima (s) came to Umar and screamed: O my father, O Messenger of Allah (s)! Umar raised the sword while it was in its cover and hit at the side of Fatima. Then Umar raised the whip and hit at the side of Fatima. Fatima called out again: O father! Seeing this, Ali (a) suddenly arose and seized Umar’s collar, jerked it hard and threw him down and hit at his nose and neck.[2]

OBJECTIONS AGAINST HAZRAT FATEMAH ZAHRA (SA) AND THEIR REPLIES - OBJECTION NO 4 PART 2

CONTINUED FROM PART 1........ 
Objection 4: Report of ‘Fatima is a part of me’ was regarding proposal of Ali (a) to the daughter of Abu Jahl



D. Miswar bin Makhrama is the sole witness of this incident
It is interesting that among all those companions only this six year old child heard the Prophet and quoted him. It is not clear why the rest of the companions of the Prophet while being present in the Majid did not hear this story and did not narrate it?

In addition to the very difficult problems that are mentioned above, when this tradition is posed before the criterion of the Holy Quran, it is found wanting in that case also. It becomes clear that it is in no way compatible to the teachings of Quran; because Quran has clearly issued permission for men to practice polygamy and it has declared:

فَانكِحُواْ مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاء مَثْنَى وَثُلاَثَ وَرُبَاعَ
“…then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four.” (Surah Nisa 4:3)

And we see that the Messenger of Allah (s) has followed this practice; also in fact he was the practical demonstration of this divine command, whereas the topic of the report of Miswar bin Makhrama is that the Messenger of Allah (s) has considered it unlawful for Ali (a), his son-in-law to choose a second wife.
Can the Messenger of Allah (s) make something, which the Almighty Allah has allowed, to be unlawful?
Also, there are many other fundamental doubts, like:
1. Juwairiya had not accepted Islam till that time.
2. Juwairiya considered her father, a prophet.
3. Juwairiya was inimical to Amirul Momineen (a) as he had eliminated her father.
For the sake of brevity, we abstain from going into details.
Now, with reference to the deep malice of Juwairiya to the killer of her father and other points, which are mentioned about her, can it be imagined that she would have liked to become the wife of the killer of her father or that Amirul Momineen (a) would have liked to propose to a woman like Juwairiya?

OBJECTIONS AGAINST HAZRAT FATEMAH ZAHRA (SA) AND THEIR REPLIES - OBJECTION NO 4 PART 1

Objection 4: Report of ‘Fatima is a part of me’ was regarding proposal of Ali (a) to the daughter of Abu Jahl

In one of their objections, the Wahabis have mentioned:
We have numerous authentic traditional reports, which mention the proposal of Ali (r) to Juwairiya, Abu Jahl’s daughter, which say that when Fatima (r) was yet alive, Ali (r) sent a proposal to Abu Jahl’s daughter. When Fatima came to know about this, she was extremely distraught and the Holy Prophet (s) also, after coming to know about it, came to the Masjid and said: “Fatima is a part of me; one, who has hurt her, has in fact hurt me.”
In spite of these traditional reports, why do the Shia try to use this report as condemnation of Abu Bakr and Umar, whereas the Prophet was himself infuriated and displeased with his son-in-law – Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a) – may Allah honor his countenance – and he mentioned the captioned tradition?

The true source of the fiction of the marriage proposal of Amirul Momineen (a) to Abu Jahl’s daughter, Juwairiya, is the traditional report, which Muhammad bin Ismail Bukhari has mentioned in a number of places in his Sahih. First, we would quote the original version and then analyze it:

That when they (caravan of Ahle Bayt) reached Medina after returning from (captivity in Shaam with) Yazid bin Muawiyah after the martyrdom of Husain bin Ali (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him), Al-Miswar bin Makhrama met him and asked, “Do you have any need you may order me to satisfy?” Ali said, “No.” Al-Miswar asked, “Will you give me the sword of Allah’s Apostle for I am afraid that people may take it from you by force? By Allah, if you give it to me, they will never be able to take it till I die. [till Makhrama said in the due course] When Ali bin Abi Talib asked for the hand of Abi Jahl’s daughter to be his wife besides Fatima, I heard Allah’s Apostle on his pulpit delivering a sermon in this connection before the people, and I had then attained puberty. Allah’s Apostle said: Fatima is from me, and I am afraid she will be subjected to trials in her religion (because of jealousy). The Prophet then mentioned one of his sons-in-law from the tribe of Abu Shams, and praised him as a good son-in-law, saying: Whatever he said was the truth, and he promised me and fulfilled his promise. I do not make a legal thing illegal, nor do I make an illegal thing legal, but by Allah, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle and the daughter of the enemy of Allah, (i.e. Abu Jahl) can never get together (as the wives of one man).”[1]

Bukhari has written, on another occasion in his book:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: Ali asked for the hand of Abu Jahl’s daughter. Fatima heard of this and went to Allah’s Apostle saying, “Your people think that you do not become angry for the sake of your daughters as Ali is now going to marry Abu Jahl’s daughter. “On that Allah’s Apostle got up and after his recitation of Tashahud. I heard him saying, “Then after! I married one of my daughters to Abul Aas bin Rabi (the husband of Zainab, the daughter of Prophet) before Islam and he proved truthful in whatever he said to me. No doubt, Fatima is a part of me; I hate to see her being troubled. By Allah, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle and the daughter of Allah’s enemy cannot be wives of one man.” So Ali gave up that engagement.[2]
Although other traditional reports also exist in this regard in Ahle Sunnat books of traditions, but since Bukhari is considered to be the most important traditional book of Ahle Sunnat, we have analyzed the reports of this book. Without any doubt, if the suggestions of these reports are clarified the implication of the rest of them would also become clear.

Before the analysis of Bukhari, it is appropriate to state the viewpoint of Ahle Bayt (a) regarding this fiction.
Shaykh Saduq (r) has, in his Amali, narrated from Imam Sadiq (a) a detailed report concerning this:
Al-Qama says: I asked Imam Sadiq (a): O son of the Messenger of Allah (s), people (Ahle Sunnat) accuse us (Shia) of committing vile acts; in such a way that it has made us extremely distressed. Imam (a) said: O Al-Qama, man cannot invite the attention of people and bridle their tongues. How can you remain safe from that from which the prophets, messengers and successors had not remained safe? Did they not accuse Yusuf of having intention to commit fornication? Did they not say about Ayyub (a) that he was involved in those calamities due to his sins? Did they not say about Prophet Dawood (a) that he pursued the bird till he glanced at the wife of Uriya for a moment and became infatuated with her; and in order to achieve his aim, he sent the husband of that woman to the battlefront and placed him before the Ark of Covenant till he was killed and after that he married her?... Did they not accuse the Messenger of Allah (s) of being partial to his cousin, Ali (a) and that he spoke under the influence of his selfish desires…and they have said more than this regarding his successors…Did they not allege that the chief of successors, Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a) wanted to marry Abu Jahl’s daughter while having Fatima as a wife? And that the Prophet in the presence of Muslims ascended the pulpit and complained about him saying: O people, Ali wants to bring the daughter of the enemy of God upon the head of the daughter of the Messenger of Allah. Know that Fatima is a part of me; one, who has hurt her, has in fact hurt me and one who has pleased her has in fact pleased me and whoever has infuriated her has in fact made me furious….[3]

OBJECTIONS AGAINST HAZRAT FATEMAH ZAHRA (SA) AND THEIR REPLIES - OBJECTION NO 3 PART 2

Fatima (s) - PART 2  CONTINUED .....

One who, during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (s) and in his presence, had been so blatant to scold and harass the wives of the Prophet and had been so adamant that they should remain in veil, till the angel of revelation descended and brought divine revelation opposed to the view of Umar; now, after the passing away of Prophet, what attitude he would have against one who opposed his rule or the rule of Abu Bakr?
Muhammad bin Ismail Bukhari has mentioned three times in his book, on the authority of Ayesha, the story of the coming out of Sauda and that also in the darkness of the night and the angry attitude of Umar towards her and the revelation of the verse:
Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) went out to answer the call of nature after it was made obligatory (for all Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who knew her before could recognize her. So Umar bin Khattab saw her and said, “O Sauda! By Allah, you cannot hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be recognized on going out.” Sauda returned while Allah’s Apostle was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with meat was in his hand. She entered and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I went out to answer the call of nature and Umar said to me so-and-so.” Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet) and when the state of inspiration was over and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put in down, he said (to Sauda), “You (women) have been allowed to go out for your needs.”[1]
Who permitted Umar to raise objections against the ‘mothers of believers’ and behave in such an insulting manner? Except that they were also helpless like other human beings and compelled to leave the house to fulfill some needs and according to the text of tradition it was done on the permission of the Prophet of Islam (s).

It is remarkable that some Ahle Sunnat scholars have narrated this harassment of mother of believers, Sauda at the hands of Umar as one of his excellence.
Alusi, the famous Wahabi commentator of Quran, has written about this:
Shia condemn Umar with regard to that which occurred between him and mother of believers, Sauda; and they consider it to be a defect of Umar and they regard this to be disrespect to the family of the Prophet, insult of his wives and harassment to them: whereas Ahle Sunnat have replied: Supposing the report is true, Umar considered that act good and a cause of blessing.[2]

Umar bin Khattab, during the period of his Caliphate also, displayed so much enmity to ladies that if he summoned a Muslim lady, she used to be so terrified that she even suffered miscarriage.
Abdur Razzaq Sanani, teacher of Bukhari, has written in his book of Musannaf:
Umar summoned a lady, who was reported to be visited (by men). When that lady heard this, she denied it and wailed: Woe be on me, what do I have to do with Umar? On the way, she experienced labor pains and entered a house and delivered the fetus there. Two cries were heard from the child and then it died.[3]
So clear was this matter in the view of Ahle Sunnat scholars that they have confirmed this in their reliable jurisprudence books. Mohiuddin Nawawi has, in his book of jurisprudence, Al-Majmua, written:
Part: If a woman speaks ill in the presence of the ruler and she makes allegations against him, the ruler may send someone to her to summon her and if that woman suffers a miscarriage due the fear of the ruler; it is obligatory on the ruler to pay the blood money of the aborted child; because it is reported that Umar was informed: there is a woman whom men visit. Umar sent someone to summon that woman. When she heard this, she said: What do I have to do with Umar? On the way, she experienced labor pains due to fear and delivered her fetus. Two cries were heard from the child and then it died…[4]
Also, Ibne Qudama Muqaddasi, the famous jurisprudent of Hanbali sect has written:
If a ruler summons a woman and she has a miscarriage, the ruler is responsible for it. This command is there, because Umar ordered his men to summon a woman about whom it was reported that men visited her. When she came to know about this, she said: O woe, what do I have to do with Umar? On way to Umar she experienced labor pains due to apprehension and delivered her fetus. Two cries were heard from the child and then it died…[5]
The same matter is also mentioned in Kitabul Kafi under the jurisprudence of Ibne Hanbal.[6]
