1- Faatimah’s Satisfaction and Anger
3- At war with your enemies and in peace with your friends
4- Sayyedat Nesaa’ al-cAAlameen
It has been narrated from Imaam Saadiq, who said:
((Indeed, she was named Faatimah, because the creatures were kept away from knowing her[1].)).
And this is because she was not like any other person, her creation was not the same, her qualities and characters were not similar, her powers were not comparable… And it is clear that a weaker mind cannot understand a stronger mind, and a small drop of water cannot carry within it a large ocean.
Therefore to know her as much as we can, we need to look at the Holy Qor’aan and the Holy Hadeeth and try to understand what they say about her, and how they present her to our limited minds.
And Faatimah’s struggle against the Bakri party and her stance against its leaders could not block all of the ahaadeeth about her from finding their way into Bakri references. Yes, it is true that Bakri scholars did not record the important ahaadeeth, the ones that shed more light on her and her qualities and powers, and that they deliberately cut out important parts of such ahaadeeth and distorted and changed other vital sections; but what eventually found its way on Bakri paper is still of great significance and immense value.
So we can say that this unique jewel was so priceless that the malicious hands of vandals could not render her worthless, and that the tireless efforts of knockout artists could not produce exact copies.
And how could the Bakris do all that, when it was not just Rasoolollaah[2] who praised her, but her most spiteful enemies such as cAa’eshah?!
Faatimah’s advancement in the path of the infinite completeness and perfection, and her ascension in the levels of closeness to God, was such that it brought her amongst other things, the cEsmah—the state of immunity from committing sins, making mistakes, or any act of forgetfulness, etc. whilst the choice to commit sin remains open to the individual… And it brought her amongst other things cElm al-Ghayb—Knowledge-of-the-Unseen. An all-encompassing knowledge granted by Allaah to a person without the usual methods of learning; a knowledge that covers everything and everyone, and is not limited by time or space, neither is it crippled by what plagues the knowledge gained through education, such as inaccuracy, forgetfulness, etc. cElm al-Ghayb includes the Unseen-World just as it includes the Seen-World.
And Rasoolollaah(SAA)[3] as God’s Messenger, had to inform people of Faatimah’s great abilities, so that they may use them to the best of their capabilities in their journeys through the various levels of completeness and perfection. Therefore, one of the things he emphasized was Faatimah’s ability to know, beyond any doubt, what makes God satisfied and what makes Him angry.
And because Allaah had granted her cElm al-Ghayb and the cEsmah, her satisfaction and anger reflected that of Allaah. Therefore, the Prophet tied Allaah’s satisfaction and anger to that of Faatimah(AaS)[4], so people may know Allaah’s satisfaction and anger.
He used every opportunity and used different words and various methods to transmit this to the people in such a way that even her Bakri enemies narrated them, despite the fact that they were terribly damaging to their leaders, especially Aboo Bakr and cOmar.
For instance, Bakri scholars narrate from Rasoolollaah, who said:
((Verily, Allaah, the Great, the Almighty surely becomes angry for Faatimah’s anger, and becomes satisfied for Faatimah’s satisfaction[5]/[6].)).
Bakri scholars also narrate from Rasoolollaah, who said:
((So whomsoever my daughter Faatimah is satisfied from, I am satisfied from; and whomsoever I am satisfied from, Allaah is satisfied from. And whomsoever she is angry with, I am angry with; and whomsoever I am angry with, Allaah is angry with[7].)).
They also narrate from Rasoolollaah, who said:
((Allaah becomes satisfied for Faatimah’s satisfaction[8].)).
They also narrate that Rasoolollaah told his daughter Faatimah:
((Verily, Allaah becomes angry for your anger, and becomes satisfied for your satisfaction[9]/[10].)).
As God’s Messenger and the link between Him and His creatures, Rasoolollaah’s words and deeds reflected God’s satisfaction and anger. He did not say anything unless Allaah wanted that thing to be said, and he did not do anything unless Allaah wanted that thing to be done.
And because Rasoolollaah had cElm al-Ghayb, he knew a person’s thoughts, intentions, motives, relationship with God, ending, etc. And as he was a macsoom, he acted and spoke according to his knowledge, regardless of other people’s desires.
And when we look at the history books, we see that Sayyedat Nesaa’ al-cAAlameen[11] was the closest person to Rasoolollaah among women, just as Ameer al-Mo’meneen was the closest person to him among men, as cAa’eshah(LAa)[12], their hateful enemy, testifies:
((Jomay’ ibn Omayr al-Taymi narrates: I went to cAa’eshah, along with my paternal aunt, and she asked her: Which person was more beloved to Rasoolollaah?
cAa’eshah said: Faatimah.
Someone else asked her: And among men?
cAa’eshah said: Her husband. He was surely, in as much as I knew him, a person who fasted very often, and worshipped very often[13].)).
Bakri scholars also narrate from cAa’eshah, who said:
((I have never seen anyone more similar to Rasoolollaah in speaking than Faatimah. Whenever she went to him, he welcomed her and kissed both her hands and sat her in his place; and whenever he went to her, she welcomed him and kissed both his hands[14].)).
The following are some more examples of what Bakri scholars narrate from Rasoolollaah about Sayyedat Nesaa’ al-cAAlameen, spoken on different occasions and in different places:
((Your father be your sacrifice[15].)).
((Faatimah is the mother of her father[16].)).
((I won’t agree until she agrees[17].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, makes me happy what makes her happy[18].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, hurts her what hurts me, and makes me happy what makes her happy[19].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, relieves me what relieves her[20].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, tires me what tires her[21].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, saddens me what saddens her[22].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, annoys me what annoys her, and tires me what tires her[23].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, makes me suspicious what makes her suspicious, and annoys me what annoys her[24].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, saddens me what saddens her, and delights me what delights her[25].)).
((Faatimah is a branch of me, saddens me what saddens her, and delights me what delights her[26].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, annoys me what annoys her[27].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, whoever annoys her, he has surely annoyed me[28].)).
((…And she is a part of me, and she is my heart, and my soul that is between my sides. So whoever annoys her, he has surely annoyed me, and whoever annoys me, he has surely annoyed Allaah[29].)).
((Faatimah is the soul that is between my sides; whoever annoys her, he has surely annoyed me, and whoever annoys me, he has surely annoyed Allaah[30].)).
((Verily, Faatimah is a part of me, annoys me what annoys her, and makes me angry what makes her angry[31].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, angers me what angers her, and delights me what delights her[32].)).
((Faatimah is a part of me, so whoever makes her angry, he has surely made me angry[33].)).
((Verily, Faatimah is a part of me, enrages me what enrages her and annoys me what annoys her[34].)).
And such closeness to Rasoolollaah would not have been possible unless she was just as close to Allaah.
The above statements from Rasoolollaah about Faatimah, which were all narrated and recorded by the Bakris show how close to him she was and how much he loved and respected her. And because the reason for this much love and respect was Allaah and her closeness to Him, Rasoolollaah went further to give yet stronger declarations.
Bakri scholars narrate that Rasoolollaah said to cAli, Faatimah, Hasan and Hosayn:
((I am at war with whoever you are at war, and I am in peace with whoever you are in peace[35].)).
They also narrate:
((I am at war with whoever fights you, and I am in peace with whoever is in peace with you[36].)).
They also narrate that Rasoolollaah said about cAli, Faatimah, Hasan and Hosayn:
((I am at war with whoever fights them, and I am in peace with whoever is in peace with them[37].)).
As the third most complete person ever to be created after Rasoolollaah and Ameer al-Mo’meneen, Faatimah was the most important woman of her time, before her time and after her time.
And this is not what her friends say; it is what Allaah says, and her enemies narrate.
Bakri scholars narrate from Hothayfah, one of the most respected companions of Rasoolollaah, who said:
((When Rasoolollaah finished his salaat, he left and I followed him. While he was walking, someone came and spoke with him and then left. I continued following the Prophet, and as he heard me, he asked: Who is this?
I said: Hothayfah.
He said: What do you want?
So I told him what had happened between my mother and me.
And he said: May Allaah forgive you and your mother. Did you not see the person who just came to see me?
I said: Yes.
He said: He was an angel who had not descended to the earth before this night; he asked for permission from his God to come greet me and inform me that Hasan and Hosayn are the “Masters of the Youths of Heaven” and that Faatimah is the “Chief of the Women of the World”[38].)).
Bakri scholars also narrate from Rasoolollaah, who said:
((Verily, an angel from the sky who had never visited me before, asked for Allaah’s permission to visit me; and he told me that Faatimah is the Chief of the Women of my nation[39].)).
Bakri scholars also narrate that Rasoolollaah gave Faatimah the following titles:
((Sayyedat Nesaa’ al-cAAlameen. Chief of the Women of the World[40].)).
((Sayyedat Nesaa‘ Haadheh al-Ommah. Chief of the Women of this Nation[41].)).
((Sayyedat Nesaa’ al-Mo’meneen. Chief of the Faithful Women[42].)).
((Sayyedat Nesaa’ al-Moslemeen. Chief of the Moslem Women[43].)).
((Sayyedat Nesaa’ Yawm al-Qeyaamah. Chief of the Women on the Day of Resurrection[44].)).
((Sayyedat Nesaa’ Ahl al-Jannah. Chief of the Women of the Heaven[45].)).
Bakri scholars also narrate from Rasoolollaah, who said:
((Allaah chose Faatimah over the women of the world[46].)).
They also narrate:
((Faatimah is the most favored woman in Heaven[47].)).
Bakri scholars also narrate from cAa’eshah, who said:
((I have never seen anyone more superior than Faatimah, except her father[48].)).
Besides Moslems, Bakris also believe that Faatimah was a human houri who was created from the produce of Heaven; and they narrate various ahaadeeth[49] in this regard from Rasoolollaah, one of which is what cAa’eshah narrates:
((I frequently saw Rasoolollaah kiss Faatimah; so one day I said: O Rasoolollaah! I see you do something I had not seen you do before.
So he told me: O Homayraa’![50] Indeed, on the night during which I was taken to the sky, I entered Heaven and I stood by its most beautiful tree, with the whitest leaves, and the most delicious fruit. So I took from its fruit and ate…
And when I descended to the earth, I approached Khadeejah; and she became pregnant with Faatimah from that produce.
So whenever I yearn for the scent of Heaven, I smell the scent of Faatimah. O Homayraa’! Verily, Faatimah is not like the human women[51].)).
Bakri scholars also narrate from cAa’eshah, who said:
((Whenever the Prophet returned from a journey, he kissed Faatimah’s throat and said: From her I smell the scent of Heaven[52].)).
Bakri scholars also narrate the following from Rasoolollaah:
((My daughter Faatimah is a Human Houri[53].)).
((Faatimah was created as a houri in the shape of a human[54].)).
((I smell the scent of Heaven from the throat of Faatimah[55].)).
((Whenever I yearn for the scent of Heaven, I smell Faatimah’s neck[56].)).
((Whenever I yearn for the produce of Heaven, I kiss Faatimah[57].)).
