Birth
Holy Prophet (PBUH) said:

!

104 22

When I entered heaven on the night of ascension (Meraaj), I ate from a tree of heaven and in
particular from the apples of heaven. This fruit of the heaven became the sperm-drop and when I
returned to Earth, with this sperm-drop, Khadija (PBUH) became pregnant with Fatima (PBUH).
Whenever I aspire for the scent of heaven, I sense the scent of Fatima (PBUH). O Aisha! Fatima is not
ordinary like all other women and she has not been ascribed by the usual womanly issues.

conclude from this saying of Holy Prophet (PBUH) that Whosoever displeases her has displeased me
is that our attitude and interaction with the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is different from other circumstances
because if someone commits something (legal) which way hurt others, he is not stopped from doing so
but if the same hurts the Holy Prophet (PBUH) then the state of being legal or allowed is not
considered and that act rather becomes forbidden.

When I saw Fatima (PBUH), I remembered the scene that will take place for her after me. As if she is
being humiliated, her respect disregarded, her right snatched, denied of her share in inheritance, her
ribs broken and her child murdered in her womb while she is consistently crying and chanting: Ah
Muhammad! but nobody answers her. She asks for help but nobody answers her outcry. She is the first
one from among my family to meet me after my death. And she will enter before me in a state that she
is grieving, distressed and sad and that she has been martyred. And I say here: O God! Curse the one
who has oppressed her, punish the one who has usurped her right, disgrace the one who disgraced her
and keep in hell forever the one who struck her ribs so that her child was killed and the angels of God
shall say 'Amen'.

Abu Bakr(RA) didn't ask him (Jabir) for witness since Jabir in the light of Quran and Sunnah was
Adil (Just) person. Quranic reason for this is You are best Ummah (3:110) and We have made you
the best Ummah (2:143) So if Jabir is not a part of best Ummah, then who else is? The reason from
Sunnah for the justification of Jabir is that Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: Whoever lies... We cannot
imagine that a Muslim may lie, the position of a companion like Jabir is even more out of question.

Kheibar was conquered, the people residing in Faddak at the time sent some emissaries to The
Messenger in order to reach a peaceful solution. They offered to give half of their crops and wealth.
Rasul-al-Allah accepted, so Faddak surrendered without bloodshed. This fertile land with many date
farms belonged to Rasul-al-Allah and this is the same Faddak Fatemeh said about: Rasul-al-Allah
gave it to me. Then Abu-Bakr asked Fatemeh for witnesses which is its own story.

Fadaks sermon, more than anyone else, has been given by Prophet Mohammads Ahl-al-Baiyt;
Although, it has been told, in more details, through other means as well. Ibn-Ghotayb says: I wrote
this sermon down knowing of its authenticity.

Every time they would start the fires of war, Allah would extinguish that. Or, every time a signs of
sedition would appear, or every time a pagans mouth would start speaking, Allahs Prophet would send
his brother to their challenge, and Ali (pbuH) would not return until he has brought them down to their
feet (in their defeat) and extinguish their flames of war with his Sword.
Ali (pbuH) was in hardship and pressure in Allahs path and endeavored to fulfill Allahs Will. He was
always ready and kind and endeavored purposefully while you were holding your tongues and quietly
went after pleasure; eating and drinking cool water, waiting to hear of the news while distancing
yourselves from the brinks of danger and ran away.

Ever since Allah has chosen for his Prophet, his Seat of the Chosen ones, and the house to all his
prophets, the Heaven (referring to Prophet Muhammads passing); thorns of disunion and faction have
grown amongst you. Religions outfit has grown threadbare on you and his promises are torn. The
silence heterodox are given voice, those inferior were given honor, those raised in the bosom of the
invalid spoke and entered your homes, Satan crept out of his hideout and called upon you and you
called him back. Be aware that you have fallen into insurrection and let it be known that Hell is filled
with deniers of Truth.

And now you suppose we inherit none? Seeks thou the rules of the Ignorance Era? What rule is better
than Allahs rule for those who seek certainty?
.




[ ]

O Muslism! Son of Abu-Ghahaf, were we defeated in our own right (inheritance)? Does it say in
Allahs book that you are entitled to inherit from your father and I am not to inherit from mine? Truly,
you have lied on Allah and his Prophets behalf.

These deeds encouraged you to cut ties with mercy and break your promises. Are you turning your
back on Allah and Quran knowingly and on purpose?

Then she turned to the gathering of Ansar and said: Noblemen! You, the arms of this nation! You the
protectors of Islam! Why weakness and ignorance towards what is rightfully mine? Why endeavor you
not for the justice I seek? Did not my father (PBUH) say: honor each man by honoring their children?
How fast you set out to do so and how hurried did a yeanlings snot run down. (Arabic proverb)
Thou, sons of Ghalay! Is it so that injustice is done to me about my fathers inheritance while you are
seeing me and hearing me? (are present?)
Says in another raway:
: :

Fatemeh (PBUH) fell ill before she passed away. Women of Ansar and Mohadjerin (Immigrants) came
to visit her and asked: how did you pass the night with your illness?

To which she replied: passed the night, disinterested in your world and sad and angry at your men.
After contemplating on their affairs, I spit them out and throw them away. How ugly is the dullness of
swords and deviating votes of corruption. What a bad token they sent ahead which brought upon them
wrath of Allah.

.

What moved them to exact revenge on Ali? Swear to Allah they did not for he would capture and
execute the enemies and leave to be a lesson for the rest. His sword was sharp and his anger was
aligned with Allahs Will.
