According to reports, the door was forcibly pushed against her, causing injuries that led to the miscarriage of her unborn son [7] . The physical trauma, combined with the emotional distress of witnessing her family’s rights being violated, significantly weakened her health. A few days after the incident, another incident happened. The land of Fadak which had been given to Lady Fatima by the Prophet during his lifetime was snatched away from her and her husband was roughly handled by the Caliph.

Lady Fatima (PBUH) publicly contested this decision, arguing her case based on both Qur’anic principles and the Prophet’s explicit gift to her [8] . The loss of Fadak was not just a matter of property; it was symbolic of the broader struggle for justice and the preservation of the Prophet’s legacy. Her famous sermon in the mosque of Medina, where she eloquently defended her rights, stands as a testament to her courage and steadfastness in the face of political oppression.

However, her protestations were met with resistance, further escalating tensions between her family and the ruling powers. Her Reunion with her father Truly, the death of her most beloved father, the oppression of her husband, the loss of her rights, and above all, the changes that appeared within a very short period in the Muslim culture after the Messenger of Allah deeply hurt the soul as well as the body of Lady Fatima.

During the last days of her life, Lady Fatimah asked for Asma, the daughter of Umais, who was one of the emigrant women and one of his relatives, and said to her: I don’t like putting on a garment over a woman’s corpse but her body is still visible from under the garment. I saw something in Abyssinia, I will show its pattern to you now. Then she asked for some wet branches. He bent the branches. She put on a cloth over it. The Prophet’s daughter said: What a good thing.

It distinguishes a female corpse from that of a male. When I died, you wash me and do not allow anyone to come near my corpse [9] . In the last days of her life, she requested water. She washed her body well, put on new clothes, and went to her room. She told her maid to spread her bed in the middle of the pavilion and then she laid down facing the Qiblah, put her hands on her cheeks, and said, “I will die this very hour” [10] . According to Shia scholars, her husband Ali (PBUH) washed her.

And it seems that Asma had assisted him in the ritual washing of Lady Fatimah (PBUH).
