As Fatima felt the labor pains for her child [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], she testified her faith to [[Allah]] beside the [[Ka'ba]] and prayed for an easy delivery. Suddenly, the walls of the Ka'ba split open in front of her and she entered its premises. Once she entered, the Ka'aba miraculously closed again. She stayed inside for three days and on the fourth day (13 Rajab, thirty years after the [[Year of the Elephant]]), the walls opened for her once again and she came out carrying her infant 'Ali (a) in her arms.

If faithful women come to you to take the oath of allegiance to you, pledging that they shall not ascribe any partners to Allah, that they shall not steal, nor commit adultery, nor kill their children, nor utter any slander that they may have intentionally fabricated, nor disobey you in what is right, then accept their allegiance, and plead for them to Allah for forgiveness. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful".
