Sayyidat Nisa' al-'Alamin: Difference between revisions

'''Syyidat Nisa' al-'Alamin''' (سیدة نساء العالمین)-meaning Mistress of all the women in all the worlds- is one of the titles of the [[Lady Fatima al-Zahra' (a)]]. The title was given to her by [[the Prophet (s)]]. [[Imam Ali (a)]], also, called her by this title.

According to [[Sunni]] sources, the Prophet (s) told Fatima (a), " O, Fatima! are not you happy to be the mistress of all the women in this world and the mistress of all the women in this nation and the mistress of all the faithful women?"

[[Imam Ali (a)]], also, called her by this title when he had sit next to her grave.

This title has been mentioned frequently in various scriptures of [[Ziyarat]]s (pilgrimage), such as: [[Ziyart al-Warith]], [[Ziyarat al-'Ashura']], [[Ziyarat Fatimat al-Zahra' (a)]], [[Ziyarat al-Imam al-Rida (a)]], [[Ziyarat Fatima al-Ma'suma (a)]] and …

According to the reports from famous Sunni scholars such as: [[al-Subki]], [[al-Suyuti]], [[al-Nasa'i]], [[Abu Dawud]], [[al-Qadi Qutb al-Din]] and others, the Lady Fatima al-Zahra' (a) was the greatest woman in the world based on these arguments:

* the [[hadith]] quoted from [[the Prophet (s)]]: "Fatima is a part of my body"

*  the Prophet's saying to Fatima (a): "Are not you happy to be the mistress of all faithful women?"

* in-authenticity, unreliability and weakness of the [[hadith]] says, "The Prophet's wives were the best [[companion]] of him."

Moreover, [[al-Miqrizi]] said that if we believe that [[Mary (a)]] was a prophet, she will be more superior; but if we reject her prophethood, the Lady Fatima (a) will be the greatest woman in all the worlds.
