Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Tragedy of al-Zahra’: Doubts and Responses Incident In The Wording Of Traditionists And Historians Ziyarat of al-Zahra’ (sa), the Truthful Lady Shaikh al-Mufid has recorded one ziyara for Fatima (sa) saying, “Peace with you, O Messenger of Allah S! Peace with your daughter, the truthful, the purified one! Peace with you, O Fatima daughter of the Messenger of Allah S! O Head of the Women of the World!

O batul البتول, martyr, purified one..., etc.”[^1] Another text reads: “Peace with you, O martyred batul , daughter of the Prophet of Mercy!”[^2] There is another text that says, “Peace with you, O truthful martyr!”[^3] Another text says: “Peace with you, O martyred truthful one whose inheritance was confiscated, whose rib was broken, whose husband was oppressed and whose son was killed!”[^4] Shaikh al-Saduq, may Allah have mercy on him, has said, “I have not found any specific ziyara for the Truthful Lady, so I have commended what I have stated in this book to my reader what I commend for my own self.”[^5] He said so commenting on the afore-mentioned ziyara which contains this statement: “Peace with you, O Truthful Lady, O Martyr!”[^6] Citing her ziyara , Shaikh al-Tusi, may Allah have mercy on him, addresses her thus: “O one who was tried, tried by Allah...” I found this narrative about Fatima (sa).

As regarding what I found our own folks saying when reciting her ziyara , you must stand at one of the two locations which we mentioned[^7] and say: “Peace with you, O daughter of the Messenger of Allah S... Peace with you, O truthful lady, martyr..., etc.”[^8] Another text reads: “O Lord!

Bless the bereaved lady, the honorable and the praised one, the lofty martyr.”[^9] Al-Kaf’ami has said that Fatima’s children were five and that the cause of her death was beating and miscarriage.” As regarding the details of the oppression to which she was exposed, some such details have been cited above as well as what the historians and authors have written in their books.

We started by what Sulaym ibn Qays has narrated in his valuable book which is one of the reliable references which contain details of what actually took place.
