Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Fatima Az-zahra' Ziyarah of Lady Fatima Translated by: Badr Shahin **([1])** While standing in the area between the Holy Prophet’s tomb and minbar (i.e. Garden of Paradise – Rawdah ), you may visit the tomb of Lady Fātimah al-Zahrā' (a.s) though there is disagreement about the place of her tomb. Some say that she was buried in the Rawdah . Others say that she was buried at her house. Others say that she was buried in the Baqī` Cemetery.
However, the majority of our scholars agree that she must be visited from the Rawdah , although to visit her at these three places is more preferable.
When you stand for the ziyārah of Lady Fātimah al-Zahrā'’s tomb, you may say the following: O the carefully examined one: yā mumtahanatu يَا مُمْتَحَنَةُ Allah Who created you had tried you before He created you (for this worldly life), imtahanaki allāhu alladhy khalaqaki qabla an yakhluqaki اِمْتَحَنَكِ اللّهُ الّذِي خَلَقَكِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَكِ and thus He found you successfully enduring in that trial.
fawajadaki limā imtahanaki sābiratan, فَوَجَدَكِ لِمَا امْتَحَنَكِ صَابِرَةً، We claim being loyalists, believers, wa za`amnā annā laki awliyā‘un wa musaddiqūna وَزَعَمْنَا أَنَّا لَكِ أَوْلِيَاءٌ وَمُصَدّقُونَ ( [1] ) Excerpted from the English version of Maf¡tīh al-Jin¡n .
O the carefully examined one: yā mumtahanatu يَا مُمْتَحَنَةُ Allah Who created you had tried you before He created you (for this worldly life), imtahanaki allāhu alladhy khalaqaki qabla an yakhluqaki اِمْتَحَنَكِ اللّهُ الّذِي خَلَقَكِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَكِ and thus He found you successfully enduring in that trial.
fawajadaki limā imtahanaki sābiratan, فَوَجَدَكِ لِمَا امْتَحَنَكِ صَابِرَةً، We claim being loyalists, believers, wa za`amnā annā laki awliyā‘un wa musaddiqūna وَزَعَمْنَا أَنَّا لَكِ أَوْلِيَاءٌ وَمُصَدّقُونَ وَصَابِرُونَ لِكُلّ مَا أَتَانَا بِهِ أَبُوكِ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، wa sābirūna likulli mā atānā bihī abūki sallā allāhu `alayhi wa ālihi, and standing as regards all that which has been conveyed to us by your father—peace of Allah be upon him and his Household— وَأَتَى بِهِ وَصِيّهُ، wa atā bihī wasiyyuhū, and all that which his Successor has brought to us.
