She cleaned his face and dressed the wounds with ash obtained by burning a piece of rope. As for the Prophet (S.-YW.W), he visited her everyday. Whenever he went out of Medina, he would visit her the last and upon coming back he would visit her first Tabari, the famous Sunni historian, reports Abu-Thalabah as saying, "Everytime the Prophet of Allah came back from a journey, or a war, he would go to the Mosque. There he would pray two-Rakah prayers.

Then he would go to Fatima (S.A) and then he would visit his wives." He loved her to call him "Father". When the verses of Qur'an saying "Do not call the Prophet (S.A.W.W) like you call each other", was revealed, she started calling him ""Messenger of Allah".

The Prophet then said, "Fatima, this verse is not for you and your family, for you are from me and I am from you Call me Father; it surely is better for my heart and more pleasant to Allah." HAZRAT FATIMA (S.A) AS A HOUSEWIFE She was an excellent wife to Imam Ali (A.S) and he A as an excellent husband to her. Imam All himself is reported to have said, "By Allah. 1 never made Fatima S A) angry or forced her to do something she did not like 10 do up to the day she died.

Nor did she ever make me angry or disobeyed me. In fact, when I looked at her, worries and sadness would get out of me." Hazrat Fatima (S.A) had taken upon herself to do all the work inside the house whereas Imam Ali (A.S) was doing all outside the house work such as working to earn the bread for his family. She worked very hard. She carried water in waterskin so often that the weight left marks on her body.

To make bread, she ground barley with her handmill so much that her hands were sore and often bled She swept her house and made cooking fire herself till her clothes became dark. When she was given a maid, called Fizza, to help her, she used her services only on every alternate day. Imam Ali (A.S) would, from time to time, help her with doing the housework. Once, the Prophet (S.A.W.W) paid Hazrat Fatima (S.A) a visit. He saw her and Imam Ali (A.S) working at the grinding stone.

The Prophet (S.A.W.W) asked, "Whom among you should I relieve from this work?" Imam AH (A.S) suggested that Hazrat Tatima (S.A) he relieved as she was already tired She therefore left her share of work to the Prophet (S.A.W.W) who joined Imam Ali (A.S) to complete the job of rinding barley. Sometimes the Prophet's beloved companions, too, would offer their services to her.
