قال: إن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لما بنى مسجده بالمدينة وأشرع فيه بابه، وأشرع المهاجرون والانصار (أبوابهم) أراد الله عزوجل إبانة محمد وآله الافضلين بالفضيلة، فنزل جبرئيل (عليه السلام) عن الله تعالى بأن سدوا الابواب عن مسجد رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) قبل أن ينزل بكم العذاب.

The Holy Imam Hassan Al Askari -asws asked: ‘Shall I tell you some of our Hadeeth?’ I said: ‘Yes, O Son of the Commander of the Faithful -asws .’ Imam -asws related: ‘Surely when the Messenger of Allah -saww had built the Mosque of Medina, had his door facing the Mosque, and so did the Emigrants and the Helpers had their doors facing the Mosque as well.

Allah -azwj Willed to Extol the virtues of Muhammad -saww and his Family -asws , and so Jibraeel -as descended from Allah -azwj with the Order for them to close their doors to the Mosque before the Punishment descends upon them.’ فأول من بعث إليه رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يأمره بسد الابواب العباس بن عبدالمطلب فقال: سمعا وطاعة لله ولرسوله، وكان الرسول معاذ بن جبل.

The first message for the closing of the door was sent to Abbas Al Muttalib who responded: ‘I have heard and obeyed Allah -azwj and His Messenger -saww ‘ – to the messenger Ma’az Bin Jabal -la . ثم مر العباس بفاطمة (عليها السلام) فرآها قاعدة على بابها، وقد أقعدت الحسن والحسين (عليهما السلام)، فقال لها: ما بالك قاعدة؟ انظروا إليها كأنها لبوة بين يديها جرواها تظن أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يخرج عمه، ويدخل ابن عمه.

فمر بهم رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقال لها: ما بالك قاعدة؟ قالت: أنتظر أمر رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) بسد الابواب. فقال لها: إن الله تعالى أمرهم بسد الابواب، واستثنى منهم رسوله ـ إنما ـ أنتم نفس رسول الله Then Abbas passed by Fatima -asws who was sitting by her -asws door along with Hassan -asws and Husayn -asws . He said to her -asws : ‘How come you are sitting here like a lioness sits with her cubs in her arms.

Are you presuming that the Messenger of Allah -saww has thrown out his -saww own uncle but will keep the son of his unlce?’ The Messenger of Allah -saww then passed by them and said to Syeda -asws : ‘Why are you sitting here?’ She -asws replied: ‘I am waiting for the order of the Messenger of Allah -saww for the closing of the door.’ He -saww said to her -asws Surely Allah -azwj has Ordered them to close their doors, but excluded His Messenger -saww , and surely you -asws are the soul of the Messenger of Allah -saww .
