Wiladat Bibi Fatima (SA) Issue #4

2009

Bibi Fatima (SA) Bibi Fatima (sa.) was born on the 20th of Jamad al Awal. She was born to the Prophet of Islam and to Bibi Khadija (sa.). She has many titles including Zahra (Lady of Light) and Syedatun Nisa al Alamin (Leader of the women of the worlds). She looked after her father devoutly when Bibi Khadija (sa) and Abu Talib (a.s.) died in the same year and after that she continued to look after him. When bibi Khadija passed away, Prophet Muhammad married Umme Salama to look after the household chores.

That here are the assets of Prophethood Fatima her husband, and her two sons. With my prophet her father; these are the ones. These are the five within the cloak.*

When the migration took place, Fatima was left in Makka with the rest of the family which included her step mother Umme Salama, Ali’s(AS) mother Fatima binte Asad and many others. Imam Ali (AS) was in charge of the family. He stayed in Makka for another 3 days to give back the deposits to the Makkans who entrusted these to the Prophet for safe keeping. After fulfilling this duty Ali(AS) brought the family to Madina. After a year in Madina, Bibi Fatima (sa) was about 9 years old when marriage proposals were received by Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He would tell people that it was up to Allah to decide who was the best person for Bibi Fatima (sa). Fatima (SA)was the model of Prophet’s teaching among women just as Imam Ali(AS) was for the men. They were the most suitable couple to be married. Imam Ali (as) though was very shy to ask the Prophet's daughter's hand in marriage. After being convinced by family and friends, Imam Ali (as) went to see the Prophet in the mosque and asked him for his daughter's hand in marriage. The Prophet went to ask Fatima (sa) and she agreed. After receiving her consent the marriage of

Fatima(SA) and Ali(AS) took place in the simplest possible manner. Ali(AS)sold his shield of armor for 200 Dirhams,brought the money to the Holy Prophet who added a similar amount and asked his companions to buy household goods to set up home for the Holy Family. Marriage was solemnized by the Prophet himself and after marriage the couple went to live in a separate house next to the House of the Prophet around the Mosque. Bibi Fatima (sa) had four children. Imam Hasan (as) was born in the 3rd year of Hijra, Imam Hussain (as) was born in the 4th year of Hijra, Zainab was born in the 6th year of Hijra, Umme Kulsoom was born in the 7th year of Hijra. It was in the same house that the famous Verse of Purification (Sura 33.Verse 33) was revealed on the Holy Prophet and its narration by Fatima has become so famous that it is read in every muslim house as Hadith-e-Kisa. The Reading of this Hadith brings blessings to the household.(Tafseere- Kabir by Al-Razi). On 3rd of the month of Jamad al Thani Hazrat Fatima(SA) died. This was about 90 days after the death of her Holy father. Imam Hasan and Husain (as) arrived and Usma brought some food for them.

reason and he said he could not bear to see the wound by her side when the door of the house fell on her due to commotion by some of the companions of the Prophet when they all wanted Ali(AS) to come out of the house for the oath of Allegiance to Abubakr (may the curse of Allah be upon him). After performing the last rites she was taken to the cemetery of Baqii in the darkness of the night for burial. Very few family members were present at the burial of the daughter of the Prophet. Some historians say that she was buried in her own house which became part of the Masjid-eNabavi during the reign of Umavi Caliph Umar Ibne Abdul Aziz.

Excerpts from the Hadith E Kisa Then said Almighty Allah, the Lord: “Listen O Angels, to My Word! And inmates of heaven listen wellTo what I am about to tell: This solid firmament, and well-stretched earth, Well-lighted moon, and sun’s blazing girth, Rotating planets, and

Hearing this, again Gabriel spoke: “O Lord! Your permission I wish to take to join these five, the sixth to make.” Then said the Lord: “My permission is given.”

So Archangel Gabriel came down from the heaven,

the Gracious Lord

And said: “Peace on you, O Prophet of Allah!

For you I have brought: this is His Word:

And greetings from Almighty Allah!

“By my Grace and Grandeur!

His Grace and Mercy He does bestow

I am the Creator!

On you, His Prophet, here below. A message is sent by

This solid firmament, and well-stretched earth, Well-lighted moon, and sun’s blazing girth,

Rotating planets, and rippling seas On which ships float and sail with ease: For your sake I created all this- and more, And for those who ardently follow and adore. ”Source www.mksileicester.org

"I sat at the door, and the Prophet (S) uncovered the plate, in privacy, to find a cluster of dates and a bunch of grapes; he ate until satisfied and drank his need of water. He then extended his hands to be washed, so Gabriel poured the water, Michael washed his hands, and Israfil dried them. Thereafter, the remaining food with the plate ascended to heaven. Then he (S) started to prepare himself for prayers when Gabriel said to him:

When Sahm had delivered the message, the Prophet (S) said: `Take the necklace to Fatima and I give you to her also.' When the slave had told Fatima the message, she (A) took the necklace and told the slave that he was free. Upon hearing Fatima, Sahm laughed, so Fatima asked him about the reason that made him laugh. He answered: `I smiled when I thought of the abundance of goodness put in this necklace; it fed a hungry man, clothed a naked man, satisfied a poor man, freed a slave and came back to its original owner." "On the Day of Rising, a caller shall call from the sole of the Throne: "O people of Resurrection, cast your eyes down, so that Fatima Bint Muhammad may pass-while holding AlHussain's shirt, which will (still) be saturated with blood.' She will then embrace the leg of the Throne and say: "O Allah! grant me intercedence for everyone who cried for his disaster; Allah will then grant her intercedence for them."

Imam Ali Naqi (AS) Solution

Riyadul Jannah It is narrated from Prophet Muhammad (p) that a piece of Jannat is between his Mimber (pulpit) and his Zaree (the burial place). Some historians say that Bibi Fatema (a) is buried there.
