Fatima (a.s): the Most Paramount Lady of Islam

Ali (peace be upon him) at the Time of Fatima’s Demise:

Ali (peace be upon him) sat beside Fatima (peace be upon her) on the last day of Fatima’s life at dusk. Although he was as a dam in front of the difficulties, and a mountain of resistance, he blew out crying when seeing Fatima’s status. Fatima (peace be upon her) came to her senses, and a dialogue took place between them:

-O, my cousin, are you?

-Yes, dear Fatima, it’s me.

-This is the ninth year of our marriage.

  • Yes, O my dear Fatima.

-I did my best to be a fidle and sincere wife, didn’t I?

-Yes, dear Fatima; your esteem, your knowledge, and your fidelity were praiseworthy. You were more honorable than everyone

“ والله انت ابرّ و اتقي واكرم”.

(At this time, both Ali (peace be upon him) and Fatima (peace be upon her) cried. Fatima (peace be upon her) got unconscious, and when came to her senses again and found Ali crying above her head. She went on:

-My cousin, is that you?

-Yes, dear Fatima. How are you?

-Dear Ali, I want to make a will.

-Tell me Fatima.

-My will is about my children. After my death, marry Amame, my niece, because my children are more accustomed with her. Bury me at night, and do not let the enemy attend my funeral ceremony or say prayer on me.

Then, Ali started reciting Yasin Sura (from the holy Quran). Fatima then closed eyes forever.
