Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Shi'ite Encyclopedia (chpater 4) The Opinion of the Prophet About He Who Hurts Fatimah The Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) had frequently said: "Fatimah is a part of me.

Whoever makes her angry, makes me angry." Sunni references: Sahih al-Bukhari, Arabic-English, v5, Traditions #61 and #111 Sahih Muslim, section of virtues of Fatimah, v4, pp 1904-5 According to al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Messenger of Allah has testified that Fatimah is the best of the ladies of the worlds: Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith: 4.819 Narrated 'Aisha: The Messenger of Allah said to Fatimah (who was crying at her father's deathbed): "Are you not satisfied that you are the chief of all the ladies of Paradise or the chief of all the believing women?" Furthermore, Ibn Abbas (RA) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) said: Four women are the mistress of the worlds: Mary, Asiya (the wife of Pharaoh), Khadija, and Fatimah.

And the most excellent one among them in the world is Fatimah." Sunni references: Ibn Asakir, as quoted in Tafsir al-Durr al-Manthoor Allah, Exalted He is, said in Quran:"(O Prophet) tell (people) I don't ask you any wage except to love my family." (Quran 42:23). He also said:"(O Prophet) tell (people) whatever I asked as wage (in return for my prophethood) is in the benefit of you (people)."(Quran 34:47).

The above two verses of Holy Quran explicitly indicate that the Prophet, with the order of Allah, has asked people to love his family as a command. Moreover loving them is in our benefit since "true love" requires to follow and obey the purified members of his family who carry his true Sunnah. It is unfortunate that those who claimed to be his sicere compnions inflicted such horrible pains to his family while a week had not been passed since the death of the Prophet (PBUH&HF).

Is this the love, Allah ordered for the family of prophet?! Where his her grave? The Muslims have been deeply pained. Their beloved prophet has passed away. And especially for his kith and kin, it is one of their lives saddest day. A lady who happens to be his daughter, above all is the most afflicted one. She was the nearest to her father. Alas her troubles have just begun. What in the Prophet's eyes was her status, unfortunately the people shall forget. She should be respected by all of us.

But a harsh treatment, she'll be met. Everyone had heard her father say, "My daughter is a part of me".
