Hadith 1: The House of Fatema Zahra (sa) .... The Hijaab of Allah (swt)

كتاب الطرف للسيد علي بن طاووس نقلا من كتاب الوصية للشيخ عيسى بن المستفاد الضرير، عن موسى بن جعفر، عن أبيه (عليهما السلام) قال: لما حضرت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) الوفاة دعا الانصار وقال … ألا إن فاطمة بابها بابي وبيتها بيتي، فمن هتكه فقد هتك حجاب الله "، قال عيسى: فبكى أبو الحسن (عليه السلام) طويلا، وقطع بقية كلامه وقال: هتك والله حجاب الله، هتك والله حجاب الله، هتك والله حجاب الله يا امه صلوات الله عليها

From" Kitab al-Turf" of Sayed ibn Taoos quoting from Kitab al-Wassiyah of Shaikh Isa bin al-Mustafaad al-Zareer from Imam Musa bin Jafar al-Kazim (as) from his Father (as):

"When Prophet Mohammad (saww) was about to die, He called the Ansaar's and said, ... "Indeed the door of Fatema (sa) is My door, and Her house is My house. So whoever disgraces it has disgraced the Hijaab (veil/covering) of Allah (swt)."

The narrator Isa then says, "Abu al-Hasan Imam Kazim (as) then cried for long and cut of rest of his speech and said, "By Allah (swt) the Hijaab of Allah (swt) was disgraced, By Allah (swt) the Hijaab of Allah (swt) was disgraced, By Allah (swt) the Hijaab of Allah (swt) was disgraced, O My Mother (sa)..."

Hadith 3: Fatema Zehra (sa) created from Noor (Light)

حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل – رضي الله عنه – قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، قال: حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن عبد الرحمن بن الحجاج، عن سدير الصيرفي، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن جده عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه واله: خلق نور فاطمة عليها السلام قبل أن تخلق الارض والسماء. فقال بعض الناس: يا نبي الله فليست هي إنسية ؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وآله: فاطمة حوراء إنسية قال: يا نبي الله وكيف هي حوراء إنسية ؟ قال: خلقها الله عزوجل من نوره قبل أن يخلق آدم إذ كانت الارواح فلما خلق الله عزوجل آدم عرضت على آدم. قيل: يا نبي الله وأين كانت فاطمة ؟ قال: كانت في حقة تحت ساق العرش، قالوا: يا نبي الله فما كان طعامها ؟ قال: التسبيح، والتهليل، والتحميد. فلما خلق الله عزوجل آدم و أخرجني من صلبه أحب الله عزوجل أن يخرجها من صلبي جعلها تفاحة في الجنة و أتاني بها جبرئيل عليه السلام فقال لي: السلام عليك ورحمة الله وبركاته يا محمد، قلت: وعليك السلام ورحمة الله حبيبي جبرئيل. فقال: يا محمد إن ربك يقرئك السلام. قلت: منه السلام وإليه يعود السلام. قال: يا محمد إن هذه تفاحة أهداها الله عزوجل إليك من الجنة فأخذتها وضممتها إلى صدري. قال: يا محمد يقول الله جل جلاله: كلها. ففلقتها فرأيت نورا ساطعا ففزعت منه فقال: يا محمد مالك لا تأكل ؟ كلها ولا تخف، فإن ذلك النور المنصورة في السماء وهي في الارض فاطمة، قلت: حبيبي جبرئيل، ولم سميت في السماء ” المنصورة ” وفي الارض ” فاطمة ” ؟ قال: سميت في الارض ” فاطمة ” لانها فطمت شيعتها من النار وفطم أعداءها عن حبها، وهي في السماء ” المنصورة ” وذلك قول الله عزوجل: ” يومئذ يفرح المؤمنون * بنصر الله ينصر من يشاء ” يعني نصر فاطمة لمحبيها

Sudayr al-Sarfi from Imam Sadiq, Jafar ibn Muhammad, from his father, from his grandfather (as) that The Messenger of Allah (saww) said:

"The light (noor) of Fatima (sa) was created before the creation of the earth and the heaven.

Some of the people said: ”Prophet of God, does that mean she’s not a human?”

He [sawa] said: "She is human Hawra"

They said: ”O Messenger of God how is it possible that she is a human Hawra’?”

He said: ”Allah created her from His light before he created Adam when there were only spirits, so when he created Adam she was revealed to Adam”

They said: ”O Prophet of God and where was Fatima?”.

He said: ”She was in a place below the Throne”.

They said: ”O Prophet of God what was her food?”.

He said: ”Glorifying, hailing and praising (Allah). So when Allah swt created Adam and brought me from his offspring, Allah wanted to make her from my offspring so he made her an apple in heaven and Jibraeel [as] presented her to me saying ”Asalamu alayum warahmatullah wa barakatahu O Muhammad”, I said ”Wa alaykum asalaam warahmatullah my beloved Jibraeel”.

He said: ”O Muhammad your Lord sends you his blessings”.

I said: ”From him all blessings come and to him do they all return”.

He said: ”This apple is a gift to you from Allah from heaven”, so I took it and held it to my chest.

He said: ”O Muhammad Allah glorified be He says eat it”.

So I split it and saw a shining light and was tacken aback.

He said: ”O Muhammad why don’t you eat? Eat it and don’t be afraid, for that light is ”AlMansurah” (the aided) in the Heavens and ”Fatima” on earth”.

I said: ”My beloved Jibraeel why is she called AlMansurah in the Heavens and ”Fatima” on earth?”.

He said: ”She is called Fatima on earth because she saved (fatamat) her Shia from the fire, and because her enemies have not (fatama) loved her. In the heavens she is ”AlMansura” because of the words of Allah swt ‘On that day will the believers rejoice , with the aid of Allah, He aids whom he wishes’, meaning the aid of Fatima to her lovers."

Hadith 4: Fatema Zehra (sa) does not experience Menses

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ ع صِدِّيقَةٌ شَهِيدَةٌ وَ إِنَّ بَنَاتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَا يَطْمَثْن

Muhammad in Yahya has narrated from al-‘Amrakiy ibn Ali from Ali ibn Ja‘far from his brother from abu al-Hassan (as) who has said the following:

"Fatima is truthful and a martyr. The daughter of the prophets does not experience menses."

Hadith 5: No Shifa'at for those who oppressed Fatema Zahra (sa)

كنز الكراجكى: عن محمد بن أحمد بن شاذان القمي، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن الحسن بن الوليد، عن الصفار، عن محمد بن زياد، عن مفضل بن عمر، عن يونس بن يعقوب رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت الصادق جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام يقول

يا يونس قال جدي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله ملعون ملعون من يظلم بعدي فاطمة ابنتي ويغصبها حقها ويقتلها، ثم قال: يا فاطمة البشرى فلك عند الله مقام محمود تشفعين فيه لمحبيك وشيعتك، فتشفعين، يا فاطمة لو أن كل نبي بعثه الله وكل ملك قربه، شفعوا في كل مبغض لك غاصب لك ما أخرجه الله من النار أبدا

Kanz al-Karajki: From Mohammad bin Ahmad bin Shazaan al-Qummi, from his father, from Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin waleed, from al-Saffar, from Mohammad bin Ziyaad, from Mufazzal bin Amr, from Yunus bin Yaqoob who hear Imam Sadiq bin Mohammad (as) say:

That Prophet Mohammad (saww) said,

"Cursed Cursed is the one who oppresses my daughter Fatima (sa) after me and usurps (snatches) her rights and kills her. Then He said, "O Fatima (sa) Glad tidings! For you is grand station near Allah (swt) of Shifa’at for those who love you and for your Shias, hence you will do Shifa'at. O Fatima (sa)! Even if all the Prophets (sa) that Allah (swt) has send and all the angels close to Allah (swt) do Shifa’at for those who angered (hated) you and those who usurped (snatches) you (rights), Allah (swt) will never remove them from the Fire."

Hadith 6: Those Who prayed upon Fatima Zahra (sa)

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ الْحَافِظُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَتَّابٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْن‏ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعُمَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ‏ خُلِقَتِ الْأَرْضُ لِسَبْعَةٍ بِهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ وَ بِهِمْ يُمْطَرُونَ وَ بِهِمْ يُنْصَرُونَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ سَلْمَانُ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ عَمَّارٌ وَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ أَنَا إِمَامُهُمْ وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ ع.

قال مصنف هذا الكتاب رضي الله عنه معنى قوله خلقت الأرض لسبعة نفر ليس يعني من ابتدائها إلى انتهائها و إنما يعني بذلك أن الفائدة في الأرض قدرت في ذلك الوقت لمن شهد الصلاة على فاطمة ع و هذا خلق تقدير لا خلق تكوين‏

Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said, "The earth was created for seven (persons). Due to them you are given sustenance (rizq), and due to them you are given rainfall, and due to them you are helped. (They are) Abu Zar, Salman, Miqdad, Ammar, Huzaifah, Abdullah bin Masood and I their leader (Imam). And they are the ones who were present to pray over Fatima (sa)."

Sheikh Sadooq then says, "The meaning of creation of the earth for the seven does not mean that it is from the first day of the earth to the last day of the earth. But it means that the benefit from the earth was for those who were present to pray over Fatima (sa) and this is the Taqdeeri creation and not Taqweeni creation."

From the book "Fazail of Shahr-Ramadhan of Shaikh Sadooq"

Imam Raza (as) said (part of a lengthy narration):

Hadith 8: After burial of Fatema Zahra (sa)

Imam Ali (ع) after burying Fatima Zahra (ع) turned towards the grave of the Prophet (ص) and said:

فَقَالَ السَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ الله عَنِّي وَالسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ عَنِ ابْنَتِكَ وَزَائِرَتِكَ وَالْبَائِتَةِ فِي الثَّرَى بِبُقْعَتِكَ وَالْمُخْتَارِ الله لَهَا سُرْعَةَ اللِّحَاقِ بِكَ قَلَّ يَا رَسُولَ الله عَنْ صَفِيَّتِكَ صَبْرِي وَعَفَا عَنْ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ تَجَلُّدِي

"Peace be upon you, O Rasul-Allah (ص) from Me and peace be upon You on behalf of your Daughter, and your visitor, and who is now staying in the earth of your place (of burial) and one whom Allah has chosen to quickly join You. O Rasul-Allah (ص), my patience has decreased due to (separation) from Your chosen one and my self-control/endurance/tolerance has faded due to (departure of) the leader of the ladies of the worlds."

قَدِ اسْتُرْجِعَتِ الْوَدِيعَةُ وَأُخِذَتِ الرَّهِينَةُ وَأُخْلِسَتِ الزَّهْرَاءُ

"Indeed, the trust is returned, and the responsibility is taken back and al-Zahra (ع) is taken away."

أَمَّا حُزْنِي فَسَرْمَدٌ وَأَمَّا لَيْلِي فَمُسَهَّدٌ وَهَمٌّ لا يَبْرَحُ مِنْ قَلْبِي أَوْ يَخْتَارَ الله لِي دَارَكَ الَّتِي أَنْتَ فِيهَا مُقِيمٌ كَمَدٌ مُقَيِّحٌ وَهَمٌّ مُهَيِّجٌ

"My sadness has become everlasting and My nights have become sleepless. A grief that will never go away from My heart until Allah will choose for Me the dwelling where You are. Heart bleeding sorrow and restless anxiety."

وَسَتُنْبِئُكَ ابْنَتُكَ بِتَظَافُرِ أُمَّتِكَ عَلَى هَضْمِهَا فَأَحْفِهَا السُّؤَالَ وَاسْتَخْبِرْهَا الْحَالَ فَكَمْ مِنْ غَلِيلٍ مُعْتَلِجٍ بِصَدْرِهَا لَمْ تَجِدْ إِلَى بَثِّهِ سَبِيلاً

"Your daughter will inform You regarding Your ummah coming together against her, so press Her with questions and inquire about Her condition, For how much intense (emotions, thoughts) paining Her chest, which She did not find a way to express"
