The Last Words of Sayyida Fatima
[a.s]
As narrated from the Nahjul
Balagha:
“Ali! You know also that this is the
last day of my life.
I am happy and also, I am sad…
Happy that my troubles will shortly
be over and I shall meet my father,
And I am sorry to part with you…
Please Ali! Make a note of what I
say and do as I wish you to do.
After me you may marry anybody
you like, but you must marry my
cousin Yamama. She loves my
children and Hussein is very much
attached to her.
Let Fizza remain with you even
after her marriage if she so desires,
she was more than a mere servant to
me. I loved her like my daughter.
Ali! Bury me in the night and do not
let those who have been so cruel to
me attend my burial.
Let my death not dishearten you,
you have to serve Islam and
humanity for a long time to come.
Let not my sufferings embitter your
life, promise me Ali…”
Imam Ali said, “Yes Fatima, I
promise.”
Lady Fatima continued, “Ali, I
know you love my children
