| Imam Ali (A) quoted Fatima as saying: "The Messenger of Allah (S) said: 'Fatima, he who praises you, will be forgiven by Allah; Who will make him my companion where ever in Paradise I may be." 4. Da'awat Ar Rawandi: Swaid Ibn Ghafla said: "Once, Ali (A) was inflicted with hardship; so Fatima (A) knocked on the Messenger of Allah's door, who said: `I hear the movement of my beloved one near the door, Umme Ayman get up and see!' Umme Ayman opened the door and Fatima entered the house. The Prophet then said: 'You have come to us at a time that you have not previously come!' Fatima said: `Messenger of Allah, what is the angels food near our Lord?' The Messenger of Allah said: `By Him Who holds my soul in His hand, fire has not been lit (in our house) for a whole month; yet, I will teach you five statements which Gabriel taught me.' She (A) said: `Messenger of Allah, what are these five statements?' The Prophet (S) said: `O Lord of the First and Last; O You Possessor of Might, and Strength; O You Who is Merciful with the poor; O You most Beneficent, most Merciful. "' (Note: It appears as if the fifth statement has been mistakenly erased.) Thereafter Fatima returned and Ali (A) saw her and exclaimed: "May my father and mother be your sacrifice, Fatima; what have you to tell me?" She said: "I went seeking worldly things, but have returned (with the goodness of) the hereafter." Ali (A) then said: "Expect goodness, expect goodness!" 5. Bihar v.10: It is reported in Al-Kafi that Imam Sadiq (A) said: 'Once, Fatima approached Allah's Messenger with a problem. The Prophet listened to her problem and gave her a wrapped piece of material and said: `Learn that which is written in it.' (When she opened it) she found written in it: "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day, shall not harm his neighbor. He who believes in Allah and the Last Day, shall honor his guest. He who believes in Allah and the Last Day shall say that which is useful or keep silent.'" |
