Lady Fatimah al-Zahra' (a): Difference between revisions

'''Fāṭīma bt. Muḥammad (a)''' (Arabic: فاطمة بنت محمد) was the daughter of the [[Prophet (s)]] and [[Khadija (a)]]. She was [[Imam Ali (a)|Imam Ali's (a)]] wife, and [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]] and [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] were her sons. Fatima is one of  the Five [[Ashab al-Kisa']]. She is one of the [[14 Infallibles]] based on [[Twelver Shi'a]] beliefs. She was the only woman who accompanied the Prophet (s) in the event of [[Mubahala]] with the [[Christians of Najran]].

 

She did not pledged allegiance to [[Abu Bakr]] and opposed him firmly. After the confiscation of [[Fadak]] and usurpation of Imam Ali's right in  being the [[Caliph]], she delivered a sermon in [[Masjid al-Nabi]], which is known as [[al-Khutbat al-Fadakiyya]]. Soon after the Prophet's (s) demise, she passed away in [[Jumada al-Thania 3]], 11 ([[August 29]], 632) in [[Medina]]. She was buried secretly at night. Fatima (a) was one of the eloquent Arab women. Ibn Tafur (d. 280) has compiled her sermons in a book titled as [[Balaghat al-Nisa']]. The clan of [[Abu Talib]] taught their children her sermon on Fadak.
