Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) Reveals Fatima's Future to Her
It was natural for the Predictor of the future (S) who knew and predicted the future events, toshow/tell to his family, especially his loved daughter Fatima (SA), the events which they would face in the future. He (S) definitely informed Fatima (SA) that she was going to suffer from the harsh treatment of some so called Muslims after his death and that she would be the first to follow him to the blessings of Paradise after his departure.
There are many traditions reported to this effect; the following are just a few samples:
1. Bihar v.10: Sheikh Mufeed is quoted as writing in his book Al-Amali that Abdullah Ibn Abbas said:
"When Allah's Messenger was on his deathbed, he cried until tears overtook his beard.
So was asked:
`What makes you cry, Messenger of Allah?'
The Predictor of the future answered: `I am crying for my child/outcome, for the crimes that will be committed against them by the people (who do terrible, cruel things) of my nation after my death. It is as if I (can see) my daughter, Fatima, being badly mistreated and crying: "O Father!" But no one will come to help her among my Ummah.'
Fatima (A) began crying when she heard this, so the Predictor of the future said to her:
'Do not cry my daughter'
She said: 'I am not crying because of that which will be done to me after you; rather, I am crying because I will be separated from you, Messenger of Allah'
He then said: `Rejoice, O daughter of Muhammad, at the close succession to me, for you will be the first one to follow me from among my Ahlul?Bayt.' 2. Bihar v.10, quoting the previous source wrote:
"The Predictor of the future said: `When I saw her (Fatima), I remembered what would happen to her after my death. It is as if I (could see) embarrassment entering her house, her holinessviolated, her right grabbed and took control of, her inheritance forcefully took/taken, her side broken, and her unborn child being caused to be stopped/killed, all while she is crying:
"Mohammad!"
'But she will not be answered, she asks for help but she will not be helped. Surely she will remainsickened, sad and crying after me, remembering the ending (of fighting) of (something that is suddenly shown or understood) from her father's house at one time, and remembering being separated from me another time. She will become (separated, with no communication) at night, when she used to spend listening to me saying the Quran. She then will see herself embarrassed (in front of many people) after she was honored during the days of her father...'"
3. Bihar v.6:
According to The Interpretation of The Quran written by Furat Ibn Ibrahim, Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari reported that Allah's Messenger (S) said to Fatima (A) during the illness, which caused him to pass away:
"May my father and mother be your sacrifice! Call your husband for me."
Fatima then told Al?Hassan and Al?Hussain:
"Go tell your father to come, and that your grandfather (ticket/order to appear in court) him."
So, Al?Hussain went and called him to come. When Ali Ibn Abu Talib (A) entered the house, he found Fatima sitting near Allah's Messenger (S) and saying:
'How upset (in bad shape) I am for your extreme pain, Father!!'
The Predictor of the future said:
'There is no extreme pain for your father after this day, Fatima. Yet, do as your father did when (his son) Ibrahim passed away:
Then I said:
`Eyes spill tears, and the heart may be affected, but we will not say that which angers the Lord. Yet, surely we are saddened by (your death) Ibrahim!!'"
4. Bihar v.6:
'Once, the Predictor of the future (S) called for Ali, Fatima, Al?Hassan and Al?Hussain (A) and ordered everyone present in the house to leave. He then ordered Umme Salama to stand at the door so no one could come near it.
The Predictor of the future (S) then said to Ali:
"Come near me."
Ali came near as the Predictor of the future asked; he then held Fatima's hand and put it on his chest for a long time, and held Ali's hand in his other hand. When the Predictor of the future tried to speak, he was overtaken by tears and was unable to do so. Therefore, Ali, Fatima, Al?Hassan and Al?Hussain cried when they saw him (S) crying.
Fatima then said:
"Messenger of Allah! You have broken my heart and brought sadness to me with your crying. You are the Master of all Predictors of the future and the trusted Predictor of the future of your Lord; you are the loved Predictor of the future of Allah! Who do I have for my children after you? Who do I have to protect me from the embarrassment, which will cause me after you? Who does Ali, your brother and the helper of your religion, have after you? Who is to (attend to) Allah's(something that is suddenly shown or understood) and affair?"
Fatima then broke down crying and hugged him together with Ali, Hassan and Hussain (A). ThePredictor of the future raised his head, and while holding Fatima's hand, he placed it in Ali's hand and said:
'Abu Al?Hassan, she is Allah's and His Messenger's, Muhammad, trust to you. Therefore, keep Allah's and His Messenger's trust by protecting her. Surely I know you will.'
'Ali, this (Fatima) by Allah, is the Mistress of all women of Paradise; this, by Allah, is (like) Maryam Al?Kubra.'
'By Allah, before I reached this state, I asked Allah (certain things) for you and I, and He surely has given me what I asked.'
'Ali, Execute that which Fatima commands you to do, for I have commanded her to (perform certain affairs) which Gabriel ordered me to do. Be informed, Ali that I am satisfied with him who my daughter is satisfied with, so is my Lord and the angels.
'Ali, Cursed is he who badly mistreats her;
Cursed is he who forcefully takes her right;
Cursed is he who violates her holiness..."
The Predictor of the future then hugged/supported Fatima (A), kissed her hand and said:
"May your father be your sacrifice, Fatima."
At that moment, the Messenger of Allah was putting his head on Ali's chest; but his love for Fatima kept driving him to support and kiss her over and over again. He cried until his tears made his beard and shirt wet.
Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain (A) began crying and kissing his feet; when Imam Ali (A) tried to separate them, the Predictor of the future said:
"Let them smell me and let me smell them;
Let them be near me, surely they will be sickened with sadness and hard problems after me. May Allah curse him who abuses them.'
O Allah!! I compliment them to your protection and to the protection of the morally rightbelievers."
Meanwhile, Fatima (A) was speaking to her father with a crying voice and saying:
"May my soul be your sacrifice!
May my face prevent harm from your face!
Father, can you not speak a word to me?!
Surely I see the knights of death attacking you extremely strongly!!"
Allah's Messenger then said:
"Daughter, I am leaving you;
this way, peace be upon you from me"
AFTER THE HOLY PROPHET'S DEATH
After the Predictor of the future's death, events continued to happen. When studying the time in history following the Predictor of the future's death, history speaks of the wonders, whichhappened.
In fact, history tells us about "Apostasy" which included most of Muslims who objected to Abu Bakr's grab and take control of of power from its morally right candidate, Ali Ibn Abu Talib (A).
It also tells us how Fatima's rights were forcefully taken? especially in Fadak?and how Ali was dragged to the Mosque to pay loyalty to Abu Bakr!!
History tells us how Fatima's house was set on fire by him who yesterday pretended not to believe in her father's death.
Yes, history tells us how the Predictor of the future (S) died and with him died his repeated warnings to those who would badly mistreat his family members and that they will be met with the anger of Allah. It also tells us of Lady Fatima's sadness and extreme unhappiness/extreme pain which she suffered after the death of her dear father.
Fidhdha, Fatima's helper, spoke of Fatima's sadness; she said:
"It was on the eighth day after the Predictor of the future's death that Fatima showed/told aboutthe extent of her sadness and inability to bear life without her father. She (A) came to the Mosque and while crying said:
`Oh! Father
Oh! My honest friend
Oh! Abu Al?Qasim
Oh! The helper of the widowed and the people (with no parents)
Who do we have for Kaaba and the Mosque?
Who does your saddened and upset (from a loss) daughter have?"
Fidhdha added:
"Fatima (A) then proceeded towards the grave of the Predictor of the future; it was hard for her to walk because her tears covered her eyes. When she saw the Mizaneh, she passed out; so the women rushed to rescue her; after putting water of her face, she regainedawakeness/awareness; Fatima then said:
`My strength has been destroyed/permanently removed
My (ability to last through/tolerate bad times) has betrayed me
My enemies have joyfully celebrated at my bad luck
And my sadness (about death) will kill me
Father! I remain confused and lonely
Confused and lonesome
My voice is controlled/calmed
My back is broken
My life is disturbed
I find no one, Father, after you to pay attention to/take care of my loneliness
Neither to stop my tears
Nor to support me in times of weakness
Surely exact (things that are suddenly shown or understood), the place of Gabriel's descendence and Michael's location have disappeared after you
Father,
Reasons for doing things (of others) have changed
And gates have been shut in my face
So, I hate this world after you
And my tears will be shed for you as long as breath continues to exist in me
My badly wanting you will not stop
My sadness for (being separated from) you will not disappear
Fatima then cried out loudly:
Father!!
With you went the light of the world
Its flowers shrink and die away after blossoming in your presence
Father!!
I will forever be sad for you until we are reunited
Father!!
Sleeping has left me since we have been separated
Father!!
Who is there for the widows and the people (with no parents)
Who will we have for the Ummah until
The Day of Rising?!
Father!
We became?after you?among the badly mistreated
Father!!
People avoid us after you
After we were honored and praised by your presence among men
So, what tear will not spill on your departure?
What sadness (after you) will not continue to exist?
Which eyelid will be smeared with sleep?
You are the spring of faith and the light of Predictors of the future
So how can mountains not sway?
And seas not dry out?
How can the Earth not shake (with fear or emotion)?
Father! I have been sickened with the greatest sadness, and my disaster is not minor!
Father!!
I have been caused with the greatest bad luck and the biggest terrible event
Angels cry for you, and stars stop to move because of you
Your minbar (after you) is sad/dark, Your minbar is empty
Of your secret conversation (with your Lord)
Your grave is joyful for holding you
And Paradise is delighted with your presence
Prayer and prayers
Father!!
How sad/dark are your meeting places (without your presence)!!
How pained I am for you, until I soon join you!!
How sad and depressed (because of death) is Abu Al?Hussan, The trusted one!!
The Father of your two sons, Al?Hassan and Al?Hussain; your loved one
He whom you brought up as a youth, and made your brother as a man (Abu Al?Hassan)
The most loved of your companions to you
Abu Al?Hassan, who was the first to enter a country and help you
Sadness has overtaken us; Crying will kill us
And worry and depression will always go with us.'
Lady Fatima (A) then returned to her house and lived in extreme unhappiness/extreme pain and sadness until she joined her loved father not long after he passed away."
