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

 

Later in this period, Muslims immigrated to [[Yathrib]] ([[Medina]]). Afterward, the [[immigration]] of the Prophet (s) to Medina was designated the first year of Islamic calendar. After that the Prophet (s) moved to Medina, his family relocated as well. Baladhuri writes, “Zayd b. Haritha and Abu Rafi' were responsible for accompanying Fatima and [[Umm Kulthum]] on the way toward Medina.” However, [[Ibn Hisham]] says that it was [[Ibn 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Mutallib]] who accompanied them. In another report, al-Ya'qubi, who lived in the 1st century, writes, “'Ali took her (Fatima) to Medina.” Hadiths narrated by Shi'a support al-Ya'qubi's report. For instance, [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] has quoted in his book ''[[al-Amali]]'' that the Prophet (s) had not entered Medina and had stayed in [[Quba]], and said that he would not enter the city until his cousin ('Ali) and his daughter come. According to this report, in addition to Fatima (a), [[Fatima bt. Asad]] -Imam Ali's mother- and [[Fatima bt. Zubayr b. 'Abd al-Mutallib]] immigrated with Imam 'Ali (a). Anyway, when Fatima (a) and Umm Kulthum mounted the camel and the caravan was ready to depart, Huwayrith b. Nuqayd -one of the Prophet's enemies who insulted him frequently- frightened their camel so it bolted and threw them.
