Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life Story and Martyrdom of Hazrate Fâtemeh the Hadis of Kessa ====================== Jâbber Ibn Abdollâh Ansâri [ God rest his soul ] recounted that :” One day, I heard this story from the daughter of our Prophet. She said:” One day, I was at home when my beloved father came to see me and said:” Greetings to you, O Fâtemeh!

I replied to him: ‘‘And to you, O beloved Father!’’ He said: ‘‘I feel somehow weak…” “Dearest father, I entrusted you to God, so that He takes all your weakness away…” He asked her:” Would you please bring me my Yemeni mantle and envelop me in it…?” Fâtemeh did as she was told, and enveloped her father in it.

She related:” As I was looking at my father’s sweet face, I saw that it glowed with such a splendid Light that my gaze couldn’t endure it after a while…” Fâtemeh continued and said: ‘‘Slightly less than an hour had passed, when Hassan, my first born, came into the room and greeted me. I answered him back and told him:” Greetings to you, my dear son! O, thou, the apple of my eyes!

O, the sunshine of my heart!” My son Hasan said: ‘‘Mother, I smell a sweet fragrance here… Is it that my beloved grandfather has come to see us?” “Yes, my son! He is enveloped in his mantle [abâ]…” Hassan went hear the abâ, and after a respectful greetings to him, asked permission to join his grandfather under the mantle:” Will you permit me, o beloved grandfather to join you under your abâ…?” The Messenger of God answered him most tenderly: ‘‘And greetings to you my beloved son!

O, thou, who shall be the Guardian of my Faountain in Paradise, on the Day of judgement! Of course you may enter…!” After another hour, my second born son Hosseyn, entered the room, and in response to his greetings, I said:” Greetings to you, o my beloved little one! Thou, the sunshine of my eyes! “ He said:” I smell a wonderful fragrance in this room… Is my grandfather here?” I answered him:” Yes!

He’s under the Abâ, and your brother is also with him.” He approached his grandfather and after his respectful greetings to him, he too asked permission to join them. My father answered him most lovingly: ‘‘And greetings to you, my beloved son! O, thou who shall be the Interceder of my people [Ummah] on the day of Judgment!
