Bukhari, v. 3, Kitab Al-Fadha’il, Chapter on the Virtues of Fatima, p. 1374; Khasa’is Al-Imam Ali of AlNisa’i, p. 122; Al-Jami^ Al-Sagheer, v. 2, p. 653, n. 5858; Kenz Al-Omal, v. 3, pp. 93-97; Muntakhab in the margin of Al-Musnad, v. 5, p. 96; Masabih Al-Sunnah, v. 4, p. 185; Is^af Al-Raghibeen, p. 188; Dakha’ir Al-Uqubi, p. 37; Yanabi^ AlMawadda, v. 2, pp. 52-79. -The Prophet (s.a.w) said, “Fatima is the joy of my heart, and her sons are the fruit of my soul.” Yanabi^ Al-Mawadda, v. 1, ch. 15, p. 243. The Blessed Personality was at such a degree of nearness to Allah (swt) that she suffices as a role-model for all the females who attempt to be Muslim. The observing of Hijab, the kindness and taking care of her father, the tender submission to her husband, the motherly instruction to her children and the guarding against evil that is found in Sayyida Fatima (a.s) has never been seen in any other lady to the same magnitude. Sayyida Fatima (a.s) teaches women piety and chastity by her merciful sayings and the sayings regarding her: The Prophet (s.a.w) said, “On the Day of Judgment, a caller will call out, ‘lower your gaze until Fatima has passed.” Kenz Al-Omal, v. 13, p. 91 & 93, Muntakhab Kenz Al-Omal quoted in the margin of Al-Musnad, v. 5, p. 96; Al-Sawaiq Al-Muhariqa, p. 190; Asad Al-Ghaba, v. 5, p. 523; Tadhkirat Al-Khawas, p. 279; Dhaka’ir Al-Uqubi, p. 48; Manaqib Al-Imam Ali of Ibn Al-Maghazali, p. 356; Nur Al-Absar, p. 51-52, Yanabi^ Al-Muwadda, v. 2, ch. 56, p. 136. The martyrdom of Sayyida Fatima (a.s) is extremely tragic and painful, may Allah (swt) have Mercy on the soul who cries over the Shahadat of the daughter of Muhammad (s.a.w), Sayyida Fatima (a.s). Sayyida Fatima (s.a), after her father, the Prophet (s.a.w) was Shaheed, had her right snatched from her of inheritance. This was done by a group of disloyal companions and is mentioned in Hadith of the Shia and Sunni. She claimed her right, but as a result disloyal companions came to her house and knocked the door down. The nail of the door caused an injury, while Sayyida Fatima (a.s) was expecting a son who had been named “Mohsin”. This injury caused Sayyida Fatima (a.s) great pain and caused Mohsin (a.s) to be martyred while still in the womb. This injury caused the martyrdom of Sayyida Fatima (a.s), while Imam Ali (a.s), to prevent Fitna, grasped the reigns of patience and submission and did not avenge his dear wife, and we await the Rise of the Qa’em (a.s), for vengeance to occur. 60
