- Imam narrated from the Prophet ‘s’ who said: Gabriel gave me good news that this fetus is a girl and she is a pure and very blessed girl. God will create my generation from him, and from his generation leaders will be born for this nation, and after the end of the revelation, there will be God's caliphs on earth.

Fatima Zahra, the Pillar of Ali (a.s):
Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated from his father, from Jabir bin Abdullah:
I heard that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) three days before his death: “Salam be upon you, O father of my two fragrant flower. I am bequeathing you to my two fragrant flower in this world (Hassan and Hussain). Soon two of your pillar and foundation will collapse. God is my best substitute for you”. When the Messenger of God passed away, Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) said: This is one of the two pillars that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) informed me about. When Fatima Zahra (Peace be upon her) passed away, Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) said: This is the second pillar that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) had said.[1]
Martyrdom of Hazrat Zahra (peace be upon her):
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) says:
When the death of Fatima (peace be upon her) was near, she started to cry. Amirul Momineen Ali (peace be upon him) said to her:
Dear wife! Why are you crying?
Hazrat Fatima (peace be upon her) replied:
I cry because you have been oppressed.
Moula Ali (peace be upon him) said:
Don't cry, this issue is easy for me in the way of God.
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) says:
Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her) bequeathed that Ali (peace be upon him) should not allow those two caliphs (Abu Bakr and Umar) to participate in the funeral of Fatima (peace be upon her), and Mowla Ali (peace be upon him) did the same.[2]
