Contents Lamentation to those Present Praising of Allah Testimony to the Unity of Allah and the Prophethood of Muhammad Focus Upon Memorizing the Quran, an Exalted Trust of Allah Sayyidah Zahra (a.s) had worn a long dress and her way of walking was similar to that of the Prophet. When she entered the Masjid, Abū Bakr was seated with a group of the Muhajirin, Anṣar and others and a curtain was put up for her and she sat behind it.
Lamentation to those Present Sayyidah Zahra (a.s) heaved a sorrowful sigh from her scorched and aggrieved heart such that all of those present were affected by it and began to weep. The gathering was converted into a mourning ceremony and everyone was deeply touched. Sayyidah Zahra (a.s) then remained silent for a moment until the weeping of those present calmed down, and then she began her speech.
Praising of Allah Sayyidah Zahra (a.s) started her speech (1) by praising and eulogizing Allah: “Praise be to Allah for His bounties (upon us) and thanks be to Him for all that He inspired; and commended is His name for all the bounties He created before our own creation, for all the common bounties that He bestowed (upon us) from His Ownself without even (our) asking for it, and abundant and complete bounties, such plenteous and unlimited bounties whose numbers cannot be computed, (2) and thanks cannot be offered for the duration and commencement (of the bounties), and whose perpetuity is beyond comprehension.
He invited (His servants) to offer praise, thus resulting in an increase and perpetuity (in their blessings), (3) and in lieu of this abundance (of bounties). Allah desired that His creatures praise Him. Again, He invited you (to perform good deeds) resulting in bounties of this world as well as for the hereafter.
