Introduction
The Shi’a scholars have all spoken on this incident, and the Ijma’ of Shi’a on a matter reveals that it is from the Ahlul Bayt, just as in the case of reciting BIsmallah loudly or Hayy ‘Ala Khayr al ‘Amal in the call to prayer. Even if one doesn’t grant that the ijma of the Shia scholars is enough to prove that Ahlul Bayt (AS) believed in Fatimiyya, what this ijma would at the very least prove is that the belief in Fatimiyya is early
The words of Imami Scholars themselves:
1. al-Sayyid al-Himyari (d.173H)
al-Sayyid al-Himyari has a poem in which he states:
"She was beaten and her right was usurped. And then they let her taste the pain of injuries and wounds.
May that hand be cut who hit her And the hand of those who are content with that and follow him.
May Allah not forgive him and or make him safe of the fear of the Day of Resurrection"
Siraat Al Mustaqeem V3 Page 13
2. al-Barqi (d.245 H)
al-Barqi within the same page is narrated to say
"They collected firewood to burn the house And lit it
even though there were children in it
And in the house there was not except the purified ones
Of women and the truthful one and the grandsons (of the Prophet (saw))
I do not say that they did treachery, they rather disbelieved And disbelief is
less than burning the children (of the Prophet (saw))
And whatever of their tyranny and wrongdoing they did Will be two chains around their necks in Hellfire"
Siraat Al Mustaqeem V3 Page 13
3. Muhammad b. Abi Zaynab al-Nu’mani (d.360H)
“They did wrong to Fatima, the infallible Prophet’s daughter, to a degree that she (as) recommended in her will to be buried secretly at night and that none of her father’s umma was to offer the prayer (prayer for the dead) for her except those few ones she had mentioned. If there was no calamity in the history of Islam bringing shame and disgrace other than the calamity of Fatima (as) until she left to the better world angry with her father’s umma leaving her bitter will that no one was to attend her burial except very few loyal companions, it would be sufficient evidence for the ignorant and for those, whose hearts were sealed, to see what a great sin they had committed when they wronged Fatima, her husband and her sons (peace be upon them) and when they preferred the oppressors to the Prophet’s family, who were the elite of Allah”
4. Sheikh al-Saduq (d.381H)
Sheikh al-Saduq narrates: “We were told by Abu Abdillah, Hussain bin Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Ahmad al-Ishnani al-Darimi, the Jurist, the Just, in Balkh, that he said: I was told by my father, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Ammar, that he said: We were told by Musa bin Isma’il, that he said: We were told by Hammad bin Salama, from Muhammed bin Ishaq, from Muhammed bin Ibrahim al-Taimi, from Salama, from Abu’l-Tufail, from Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him, that the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: O Ali, indeed, for you is a treasure in Paradise, and you are its Man with Two Horns. Do not follow one look by another look in prayer, for indeed, the first is (permitted) for you, whereas the other is not (permitted) for you.”
Sheikh al-Saduq then comments the following:”Moreover, I have heard some teachers mention that this treasure is his son, Mohsin, peace be upon him, and he was the miscarried fetus who was dropped by Fatima, peace be upon her, when she was squeezed between the two doors.”
5. Ibn al-Junayd al-Iskafi (4th century Hijri)
Of the compiled works of Abu ʿAlī, Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-Iskāfī- famously known as Ibn al-Junayd (d. 4th Century) is a book that is entitled “al-Ẓulāmah li-Fāṭima ʿalayhā al-salām” (The Oppression towards Fāṭima, upon her be peace.)
Translation by The Purified Truth/Originally from Ahmed al-Toufaili. Mu'jam al Rijal.
6. Sheikh al-Mufid (d.413H)
“Among the Shī ̔a, there are those who mention that Fāṭima, the blessing of Allāh be on her, after the Prophet had a miscarriage with a son, whom the Prophet, may Allāh bless Him and His Family, had (already) named during her pregnancy as Muḥsin. According to this group there were twenty-eight children of the Commander of the Faithful, the blessing and peace of Allāh be on him. Allāh knows and judges best.”
7. Al-Sharif al-Murtadha (d.436H)
“And this narration where Sayyida Fatima AS says: “O’ ibn al-Khattab would you burn my door on me? And he says yes” is a narration that the Shi’a have transmitted with many chains”
8. Abu al-Salah al-Halabi (d.447H)
"And among the issues that slanders the righteousness of the first three (usurpers) i.e Aboo Bakr, Umar and Uthman, are: Their aim over the house of Ahlulbayt (a.s) of their Prophet (saw) by disrespecting and persecution and hurting their status and refraining from respecting it as it is expected. Among the slanders is also them leaving all those who did not pay allegiance, but they intended to persecute Alee (a.s) due to him abstaining from giving allegiance, by speaking evil to him and exaggeration in threatening him, and bringing of firewood to burn his house, and attacking him with their men without his permission (to enter his house) and dragging him by holding his garment and terrifying his wife and his daughters and his women and his supporters of Bani Hashim and others, forcing them out of their houses and holding swords upon them and threatening him to killing if he does not pay allegiance. But they didn't do things like this with Sa'd ibn Ubada and Khabbab ibn Al-Munzir and others who refrained and delayed their allegiance, until they died or after a long time they paid allegiance.”
9. Muhamamd b. Ali al-Karajiki (d.449H)
“And he (Umar) claimed that the best creation of Allah (swt) was delusional in his words, and he (Umar) struck Fatima (as) the daughter of the Prophet (sawa), and brought wood to burn her house with those who are in it”
Al Ta'ajub min 'aghlaat Al 'Amma fi Mas'alat Al Imama
10. Sheikh al-Tusi (d.460H)
“And what he was criticised for is their beating Fatima (sa) who is reported as having been beaten with whips. What is famous and what is the consensus among the Shi’as is that ‘’Umar (ibn al-Khattab) hit her on her stomach till she miscarried, and the child whom she miscarried was named Muhsin. Such a narrative is quite famous among them. Add to this their desire to set her house on fire when people sought refuge with her and refused to swear the oath of allegiance to him (to Abu Bakr). Nobody denies this narrative because we have explained the narrative as reported by the Sunnis through al-Balathiri and others. Shi’as provide more details, and they do not differ in this regard” (Translation from al-Islam)
