Shia and Sunni scholars concur that the love for Lady Fatima (a) is a Quranic command of God. Based upon the 23rd verse of [[ | Shia and Sunni scholars concur that the love for Lady Fatima (a) is a Quranic command of God. Based upon the 23rd verse of [[Qur'an 42]], which is known as the [[Al-Mawadda Verse]] (Verse of Love), the necessity of loving Fatima (a) is established. In this verse the recompense for the prophetic mission has been explained as the love and affection towards his Ahl al-Bayt (a). According to traditions, those who are considered as the Ahl al-Bayt in this verse are [[ali (a)|Ali]], Fatima, al-Hasan and al-Husayn (a).<ref>Abū l-Futūḥ al-Rāzī, ''Rawḍ al-jinān'', vol. 17, p. 122; Baḥrānī, ''al-Burhān'', vol. 4, p. 815. Ṣuyūṭī, ''al-Durr al-manthūr'', vol. 6, p. 30.</ref> In addition to this verse, traditions have been narrated from the Holy Prophet (a) that equates the pleasure and anger of Allah (swt) with the pleasure and anger of Fatima (a).<ref>Ḥākim al-Nīyshābūrī, ''al-Mustadrak ʿalā l-ṣaḥīḥayn'', vol. 3, p. 154.</ref> In some traditions, the creation of Fatima (a) is known as the cause for the creation of all other creation. As an example, in a divine narration ([[al-hadith al-qudsi]]) known as the [[Lawlak Hadith]], it has been narrated from the Holy Prophet (s) that the creation of the heavens and the earth were dependent on his creation; whereas his creation connected to the creation of Ali (a) and their creation was connected to the creation of Lady Fatima (a).<ref>Mīrjahānī, ''Jannat al-ʿāṣima'', p. 148.</ref> Even though some may find fault with the chain of narration of this tradition; its contents can be defended. | ||
The Holy Prophet (s) greatly loved Fatima (a) and showed her more affection and respect than to others. In a tradition commonly known as the tradition of [[Bid'a hadith|Bid'a]],” the Holy Prophet introduced Fatima (a) as a part of his very existence and that whoever annoys her, annoys me. This tradition has been recorded by great traditionalists like [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] (Shi'i scholar) and [[Ahmad b. Hanbal]] (Sunni scholar), however with variations in the text of the tradition.<ref>Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, ''Musnad'', vol. 4, p. 5; Mufīd, ''al-Amālī'', p. 260; Ṭūsī, ''al-Amālī'', p. 24.</ref> | The Holy Prophet (s) greatly loved Fatima (a) and showed her more affection and respect than to others.
