1. عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه: أن رسول الله ﷺ كان يمر بباب فاطمة ستة أشهر إذا خرج إلى صلاة الفجر، يقول: الصلاة! يا أهل البيت: (إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا).

Ans bin Malik (RA) narrates that when the Holy Prophet (SAW) used to come out for Fajr (dawn) prayer, as he passed the door of Fatimah (سلام اللہ علیھا), he used to say, “O ‘people of the house’, perform your prayer” and then he used to recite the following verse from the Holy Quran: “Allah only desires to keep away (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house’! (the Prophet’s family) and to totally purify you,” [al-Ahzab 33:33] (he did this) for six months.

2. عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه في قوله: (إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ) قال: نزلت في خمسة: في رسول الله ﷺ و علي و فاطمة و الحسن و الحسين رضى الله عنهم.

Safiyyah the daughter of Shaybah narrates that Ayeshah (رضي الله عنها) said, “The Holy Prophet (SAW) came out one morning wearing a cloak which had camel saddles woven on to it with black wool. Then Hasan bin Ali (RA) came and the Holy Prophet (SAW) took him under the cloak, then Husain (RA) came and entered beneath it with the Holy Prophet (SAW). Then Fatimah (سلام اللہ علیھا) came and the Holy Prophet (SAW) took her under the cloak. Next Ali

(كرم الله وجهه) came and the Holy Prophet (SAW) also included him beneath it. Then the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) recited the verse, ‘Allah only desires to keep away (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house!’ (the Prophet’s family) and to totally purify you,’ (al-Ahzab 33:33).”

4. عن عمر بن أبي سلمة ربيب النبي ﷺ قال: لما نزلت هذه الآية على النبي ﷺ: (إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا) في بيت أم سلمة، فدعا فاطمة و حسنا و حسينا رضي الله عنهم فجللهم بكساء وعلي خلف ظهره فجلله بكساء، ثم قال: اللهم! هؤلاء أهل بيتي فأذهب عنهم الرجس وطهرهم تطهيرا.

Ali

(كرم الله وجهه) was behind him (SAW), the Holy Prophet (SAW) also covered him under the same cloak and then said, “Oh Allah! These are my ahl-ul-bait (‘people of the house’) so keep impurity away from them and totally purify them.”

6. عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: أقبلت فاطمة تمشي كأن مشيتها مشي النبي ﷺ فقال النبي ﷺ: مرحبا بابنتي. ثم أجلسها عن يمينه أو عن شماله، ثم أسر إليها حديثا فبكت فقلت لها: لم تبكين؟ ثم أسر إليها حديثا فضحكت، فقلت: ما رأيت كاليوم فرحا أقرب من حزن، فسألتها عما قال، فقالت: ما كنت لأفشي سر رسول الله ﷺ حتى قبض النبي ﷺ فسألتها، فقالت: أسر إلي: إن جبريل كان يعارضني القرآن كل سنة مرة، وإنه عارضني العام مرتين، ولا أراه إلا حضر أجلي، وإنك أول أهل بيتي لحاقا بي. فبكيت، فقال: أما ترضين، أن تكوني سيدة نساء أهل الجنة، أو نساء المؤمنين! فضحكت لذلك.

Ayeshah (رضي الله عنها) narrates, “Fatimah (سلام اللہ علیھا) came and her way of walking was just like that of the Holy Prophet (SAW). The Holy Prophet (SAW) welcomed his beloved daughter and seated her on his right hand side or on the left hand side*. Then he whispered something to her which made her cry. So I asked her why she was crying. Then the Holy Prophet (SAW) whispered something to her and she laughed. So I said, ‘I have never seen happiness so close to sadness as I have seen today.’ I asked (Fatimah [سلام الله عليها]), ‘What did the Holy Prophet (SAW) say?’ She replied, ‘I cannot disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah (SAW).’ When the Holy Prophet (SAW) passed away I asked her again (about this incident) and she replied, ‘The Holy Prophet (SAW) whispered to me, ‘Every year Jibraeel recites the whole of the Quran with me once but this year he has recited it twice. I am sure that the end of my time in this world has come and indeed you are the first from my family who will come to me.’ This made me cry. Then the Holy Prophet (SAW) whispered, ‘Are you not happy with the fact that you are the leader of the women of Paradise or the leader of all Muslim women*.’ To this I laughed.’”

(سلام اللہ علیھا) was alive today, she would be happy at the way I treated her son.” Then the people asked, “What is the meaning of your squeezing the boy’s stomach and what did you mean by the word that you said?” To this Umar bin Abd-ul-Aziz replied, “There is not a single person from the clan of Bani Hashim who has not been given the power to intercede.

91. عن بريدة رضي الله عنه، قال معاذ بن جبل رضي الله عنه: يا رسول الله صلى الله عليك وسلم! وأنت على العضباء؟ [قال: أنا] على البراق يخصنى الله به من بين الأنبياء، و فاطمة ابنتى على العضباء.

Buraidah (RA) narrates that Muadh bin Jabal said, “Oh Messenger of Allah! Will you ride your she-camel Uzbah (on the Day of Judgement)?” The Holy Prophet (SAW) replied, “I will be on Burraq which from among the Prophets will be specifically given to me. My daughter Fatimah (سلام اللہ علیھا) will be on my she-camel Uzbah.”

92. عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما، قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: أنا ميزان العلم، وعلي كفتاه، و الحسن و الحسين خيوطه، و فاطمة علاقته، و الأئمة من بعدى عموده يوزن به أعمال المحبين لنا و المبغضين لنا.

Abdullah bin Abbas (RA) narrates that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “I am the scale of knowledge, Ali is its pans, Hasan and Husain are its ropes, Fatimah is its handle and the leaders (of the ahl-ul-bait) after me are its rods. The deeds of those who love us or have hatred against us will be weighed on this scale.”

36. Fatimah (سلام اللہ علیھا) and her family will be the first to enter Paradise with the Holy Prophet (SAW)

93. عن علي رضي الله عنه، قال: أخبرني رسول الله ﷺ: أن أول من يدخل الجنة أنا و فاطمة و الحسن و الحسين. قلت: يا رسول الله صلى الله عليك وسلم! فمحبونا؟ قال: من ورائكم.

Ali (كرم الله وجهه) narrates, “The Holy Prophet (SAW) told me, ‘The first people entering Paradise will be myself, Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husain.’ I asked, ‘Oh Messenger of Allah (SAW)! What about our lovers?’ The Messenger of Allah replied, ‘They will be behind you.’”

37. On the Day of Judgement Fatimah’s residence will be a white dome under the Throne of Allah (SWT)

96. عن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله: إن فاطمة و عليا و الحسن و الحسين فى حظيرة القدس في قبة بيضاء سقفها عرش الرحمن.

Umar bin Khattab (RA) narrates that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “Indeed, Fatima, Ali, Hasan and Husain will live in a white dome in Paradise. The Throne of Rahman will be its roof.”

Abu Musa Ashari (RA) narrates that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “On the Day of Judgement Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husain will live in a dome under the Throne.”

38. The ‘Holy Five’ and their lovers will be together on the Day of Judgement

98. عن علي رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ لفاطمة: إنى و إياك وهذين و هذا الراقد في مكان واحد يوم القيامة.

Ali (كرم الله وجهه) narrates that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said to Fatimah (سلام اللہ علیھا), “Myself, you and these two (Hasan and Husain) and this sleeping one (Ali [كرم الله وجهه] as he just woke up at that time) will be in one place on the Day of Judgement.”

99. عن علي رضي الله عنه، عن النبي ﷺ، قال: أنا و علي و فاطمة و حسن و حسين مجتمعون و من أحبنا، يوم القيامة نأكل و نشرب حتى يفرق بين العباد.

Ali (كرم الله وجهه) narrates that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “Myself, Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husain and all those who hold love for us will be together at one place on the Day of Judgement. We will eat and drink together until people will be separated from each.”

39. Ayeshah (رضي الله عنها): Fatimah (سلام اللہ علیھا) is the most superior personality after the Prophet (SAW)

Umar bin Khattab (RA) says that he went to the house of Fatimah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah and said, “Oh Fatimah! I swear by Allah that I have not seen anyone who is dearer to the Messenger of Allah (SWT) than you. I swear by Allah that nobody is dearer to me than you after your father (SAW).”


Note: ‘Ahl-ul-bait’ literally means the ‘people of the house’. In the context of the book it means the family of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Explanatory Note

Traditions in this chapter are no contrast to those in chapter three and four. The excellence of Asiyah, Maryam and Khadijah was in relation to their own periods. The greatness of the Leader of all women, Fatimah, is beyond time and space. The poet of East, Allama Iqbal, also pays her homage as the world’s most perfect woman. The gist of his poem runs as follows:
Maryam’s relation with prophet Isa alone brought her the crown of excellence while the daughter of the Master of the Universe, Muhammad, had three honours to her credit. First, she was the light of the Prophet’s1 eye who was the leader of all the prophets and the whole universe. Secondly, she was the wife of the Lion of Allah2, who was the Master of all the Believers. Her husband was such a content person as his whole home consisted of no more than a sword and a shield. And thirdly, she was the mother of the one3 who was the leader of the caravan of love and passion.
