* '''[[Lady Fatima (a)]]''': It is said she was the youngest daughter of Prophet Muhammad (s). According to [[Shi'a]] sources, she was born five years after [[Bi'that]]/615 and [[Sunni]] sources believe she was born five years before Bi'that. [[Lady Fatima (a)]] married [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]] and she was one of the five members of [[Ashab al-Kisa']] (Companions of the Cloak). According to [[Twelver]] Shi'a, she is one of the [[Fourteen Infallibles]]. The [[Imam al-Hasan (a)|second]] and the [[Imam Al-Husayn (a)|third]] Twelver Imams (a) were children of Fatima (a) as well. A large number of Shi'a scholars believe the term [[al-Kawthar]] stated in [[Sura al-Kawthar]] in [[Holy Qur'an]] refers to Lady Fatima (a), as the Prophet's (s) lineage continued by Lady Fatima (a) and her children were chosen as Imams<ref>Makarim Shirazi, ''Tafsir-i nimuna'', vol. 27, p. 375; see: Tabatabai'i, ''al-Mizan'', vol. 20, p. 370.</ref>.
