Hazrat Fatima a.s

Fatimah's (A.S.) illness and visiting her 

Finally, Fatimah (A.S.) became sick as she was injured terribly in the attack to her home. Sometimes she got up with pains and did the housework, or sometimes went to Predictor of the future's (S.A.W.)shrine or to Hamzah's (A.S.) and shrines of other (people who die or suffer a lot rather than give up what they believe in) of the fight of Uhud with her children and told out hercomplaints there. On one of these days the people (who leave their own countries)' (Muhajir) and helpers' (Ansar) wives, who were informed of her illness, visited Fatimah (A.S.). In this visit Fatimah (A.S.) expressed her dissatisfaction with forcefully taking important Muslim religious leaderate and described (as something was happening) the people who kept quiet about ignoring their wonderful/God-related orders and Predictor of the future's (S.A.W.)command about Imam Ali (A.S.) and cautioned them of the result of this happenings and Islam's moving away from its right path and talked about the blessing which could have been given to them as a result of(something that was completed) of their religious orders and obeying Predictor of the future's (S.A.W.)real (person or thing that comes after something else). 

It was in these days that Umar and Abubakr went to visit Fatimah (A.S.). Although Fatimah (A.S.) rejected them and didn't let them in at first, they finally came to her bed. Then, Fatimah (A.S.) reminded them Predictor of the future's (S.A.W.)statement:" Anyone who makes Fatimah angry has made me angry and one who pleases her has pleased me." They confirmed that Predictor of the future (S.A.W.)had said such a thing. Then, she called Allah (SWT) and angels to see that:"You (Abubakr and Umar) had made me angry and never pleased me and I would certainly complain to the Predictor of the future of you." 

Her will 

One day, when she still sick, she called Imam Ali (A.S.) and wanted him to be the executer of her will. She commanded by will to wash her body at night, cover/hide her at night, bury her at night and nobody of the people who had badly mistreated her shouldn't be present at the burying and saying prayer. 

(dying or suffering a lot rather than giving up what you believe in) 

It was third of Jamadi al-Thani, year eleven after Hijrah. Fatimah (A.S.) asked some water and washed her body and performed washing/cleaning with it. Then she wore a new cloth and lied in bed and put her hand under her cheek and said: "I will pass away now." And then she was(someone who dies or suffers a lot rather than gives up what he or she believes in)ed as a result of hard blows and injuries. At that time, she was only 18 (according to common words) and she had been alive only 95 days after Predictor of the future's (A.S.) death (according to common words). 

She passed away being angry with Abubakr and Umar as most of the Sunni reliable books and Shiite greatest books talk about. She did not talk to them at the end of her life and naturally Abubakr's regret about attacking Fatimah's (A.S.) home when he was dying was useless. 

Performing her washings/cleanings and burying her 

When people of Medina realized Fatimah's (A.S.) (dying or suffering a lot rather than giving up what you believe in), they gathered in front of her house and waited for the burying ceremony. But it was announced that the ceremony was delayed. At night, when all people were asleep, Imam Ali (A.S.) started to wash Fatimah's (A.S.) body and cover/hide her, in absence of the people, who had badly mistreated her greatly, according to her will. When washings/cleaningswas finished, he told Imam Hassan (A.S.) and Imam Hussain (A.S.) - who were only two little children at that time - to call some of Predictor of the future's (S.A.W.)real companions whom Fatimah (A.S.) was satisfied with, to participate in the burying ceremony. (They were not more than 7 as it has been narrated). After they arrived; he said prayers and then buried her while his children were sad and were secretly crying for losing their mother. When the burying ceremony ended, he turned to Predictor of the future's (S.A.W.)shrine and said: 

"Regards to you, O the messenger of Allah! From me and your daughter, who has rested besides you, and has joined you within a little time. O Predictor of the future ! I have lost my patience in separation from your loved and I have lost my self-control. We are from Allah and will return to him. Your daughter will inform you how she was badly mistreated by your community. Ask her what has happened, because it hasn't passed a lot and you haven't been forgotten yet." 

Today, after passing many years, still her shrine is hidden and nobody knows where it is located. Muslims, and specially Shiites, wait for Imam Mahdi's (A.S.) reappearance. He is the Rescuer and is the eleventh child of Fatimah's (A.S.) child/outcome. She will show us his mother's shrine and will destroy/permanently remove bad mistreatment in the world. 

Her sayings 

Fatimah (A.S.) has left many sayings. Some of them are narrated directly from her which point to/show her great knowledge and high position. Some others are narrated by the Predictor of the future (S.A.W.)which points to/shows their close relationship and her high understanding and intelligence. We talk about two of directly narrated sayings here briefly: 

1-If someone sends his pure prayer up to Allah, Allah will send down best welfare to him. 

2-Allah has obligated faith to make you clean of (worshipping more than one god), saying prayers to make you clean of snobbiness, money for the poor to make your spirits clear and increase your food, (not eating food) to maintain your honesty, Hajj to stand your religion, justice to strengthen your hearts, obeying us for your community's order and comfort, our governing to prevent separation, Jihad for Islam's beauty, patience to help you get eligible for reward, calling people to goodness for everybody's welfare, being generous to parents to avoid his anger, union of close family to increase the population, (revenge for something bad that was done) to save bloods, very seriously promising to be exposed to Allah's forgiveness, Allah has made bankruptcy the result of using short weights, and has forbidden drinking wine to keep you away from uncleanness, Qadhf (false statement (that someone has done something bad) of intercourse) to avoid curse and curse and stealing for remaining (not involved with sex or sex-related things). Allah has forbidden (worshipping more than one god) so that people be honest in their obedience to Allah .So "Fear Allah as much as He deserves. Be religious and don't die other than you are Muslim." Obey Allah in his obligations and prohibited things, because" Only aware people fear Allah". Little end notes: 

1- Although these stories are different in words, they have the same meaning. 
2- "And give to the near family their right ..." 
3- God willing some of these verses will be discussed in other articles separately. 
4- The Holy Quran, (3:92) 
5- Against the pre-Islamic traditions that (government officials/church leaders) had high property (a woman brings to a marriage). 
6- Just like Jesus (A.S.) who is related to Abraham (A.S.) by his mother. This fact is talked about in the Holy Quran.
