Abu Bakr Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Ibn Uthman Abasi Kufi, famous as Ibn Abi Shaybah (exp. 235 A.H.) in his book ‘AlMusannaf’, vol. 7, p. 432, Tr. No. 37045, first edition, Beirut (circa1409 A.H.), narrates a tradition on the, authority of Aslam Certainly, after the demise of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w).

When they were extracting allegiance for Abu Bakr, Ali (a.s) and Zubair were with Fatemah (a.s), the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.w), consulting her and taking her view on the issue. The moment Umar heard of this, immediately he left for the house of Fatemah (s.a) and said:

“O daughter of Allah (s.w.t)’s Messenger (s.a.w.w)! By Allah (s.w.t)! None is dearer to me than your father and none after him is more important for me than you. But by Allah (s.w.t)! This love and affection will not stop me from ordering to set ablaze your house due to these persons who have gathered in it.”

As soon as Umar left, Fatemah (s.a) came to Ali (a.s) and Zubair and said,

“Do you know what Umar said to me? He swore by Allah (s.w.t) that if you don’t come out of the house, he will set my house on fire and by Allah (s.w.t), he will certainly do it.”

The Attack on the house of Janabe Zahra (sa) Part 2

The burning of the door and the death of Janabe’ Mohsin 

Umar ordered the group to gather the wood and he, himself came forward with the fire.[1] He was screaming, “Burn the house! Burn the house along with its people!”[2]

Janabe’ Zahra (s.a.) raised her voice and wailed, “O father! O Prophet of Allah! After your departure, Ibne Khattab (Umar) and Ibne Quhafah (Abu Bakr) troubled us a lot and caused us distress to no end.”

When the people heard the wailing of Janabe’ Zahra (s.a.), they too began weeping and, in that condition, left that place. Now just Umar and a few people remained there.[3] Umar asked for the fire and set the door alight.[4] The wood gathered at the door caught fire.[5] The entire house was filled with smoke.[6] Qunfuz put his hand inside to open the door.[7]

Preparation of the attack on the house of J. Zahra (sa) - Part 3

Umar was incensed by the reply of Janabe Zahra (s.a.) and said, “Why should these women interfere in our work?” He ordered the people present there to collect firewood.[1]

As per another report, on hearing the reply of Janabe’ Zahra (a.s.), Umar became extremely restless. He said to Khalid ibne Waleed and Qunfuz, “Gather wood and fire.”[2] Abu Bakr told Umar to call the most hardhearted and insensitive person that he could find.[3] Go to their house and draw them out. If they do not agree, then wage war with them.[4]
