Fatima (peace be upon her) was lonely...
Fatima (peace be upon her) was lonely, but not due to the fact that she was fleeing from the society and her social duties, but resorting to a private place, she wanted to be far from the social uproar and dive into the depth of her great soul, searching for the undiscovered aspects of her soul. She was lonely from the beginning. She was born at the time when unbelief and idolatry had filled everywhere, and indecency was raging everywhere.
She believed in monoism and seemed strange in her own area and time; thus, she did not find any confidant and was lonely in her own society. Even today, despite her grandeur, among women society, she is strange and lonely, as she was in her own time. Who is her own confidant and fellow, and who is her follower? Fatima’s Stout Heart: She is a woman full of affection and in search of the end that is Allah’s pleasure. She is resistant in the Divine way and energetic to achieve her end.
When Ohod battle was terminated, the people turned back to Medina. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his descendants) also turned back home but with an injured and bloody face. He gave his bloody sword to Fatima (peace be upon her) to wash, and afterward, Fatima (peace be upon her), personally, washed her father’s injured face. Ali (peace be upon him) poured water, and Fatima (peace be upon her) washed the blood from the Prophet’s face away.
This stout heart existed in Fatima (peace be upon her) since childhood. When her mother, Khadijeh, was laying dying, said to Fatima (peace be upon her), “My daughter! After me, you will face so many problems. Your sisters will live in their houses comfortably, but you?!” Although being a child, Fatima (peace be upon her) answered encouragingly, “Mother, do not worry, and be sure that Fatima (peace be upon her) will do her utmost to surmount the problems.
The Speed of Fatima’s Understanding: Fatima (peace be upon her) has got a supernatural talent as if she understands everything with a gesture. Her sensitivity and soul is so that she understands everything with a glance of her father. Once, her father went to see Fatima (peace be upon her) and saw her silver bracelet. He turned back without saying a word. Immediately, she gave it to Salman to take it to the mosque to be dedicated to the poor for Allah’s sake.
