The Status of Fatemah (s.a.) in Paradise

11:55 - 2016/02/25

 

 
It is related in a few traditions that Fatemah (s.a.) is one of the riders on the day of Qiyamah who shall ride upon ‘Ghazbah’, the Camel of the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.), and enter the ground of ‘Mahshar’.
 
Ibn Shahr Ashob relates that when the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.) was on his deathbed, his Camel ‘Ghazbah’ addressed him saying, “Whom do you inherit me to after your death”? The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, “O Ghazbah ! May Allah (s.w.t.) give you abundance ! You are from among the property of Fatemah (s.a.) who shall ride upon you in this world and the hereafter”. When the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) passed away, the Camel came at night to the presence of Sayyedah
 
Angel speaking to her. She dictated what she heard to Imam Ali (a.s.), this formed the Musfah. It also pertains to future events. (Here ends the quotation of Shaikh Saffar). One should also thus refer to her name Al Muhaddisah i.e., a person other than the Prophet, with whom the Angels speak.
 
Fatemah (s.a.) and said, “Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.) ! My end has drawn near, I swear by Allah (s.w.t.) that after the death of the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.) I have not tasted water or grass”. The Camel died three days after the passing away of the Prophet (s.a.w.s.).
 
It is related in the ‘Tafseer’ of Farat bin Ibraheem that Amirul Mo’meneen Imam Ali (a.s.) said, that one day the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) came to meet Fatemah (s.a.) when she was aggrieved. The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) related to her regarding the day of Qiyamah until he said, “O Fatemah ! When you reach the gate of Paradise, twelve thousand houries shall come to greet you, they would not have met anyone similarly before you nor would they meet anyone in thismanner after having met you. They would be carrying dazzling weapons and shall be riding upon radiant Camels, the saddles of these Camels will be of gold & red rubies. Their bridles will be studded with pearls, while each of these Camels will be covered with silk brocade that will be studded & heaped with various precious gems. And when you enter Paradise, the dwellers therein shall rejoice at your arrival and shall bring forth dishes specially prepared for your Shi’ah laid down upon radiant chairs. They shall partake from it while other men would yet be entangled in accounting. And your Shi’ah shall always be given whatever and whenever they desire anything. And when the ‘Friends of Allah (s.w.t.)’ shall settle down finally in Paradise, all the Prophets (a.s.), starting from Adam (a.s.) and after him, shall come to greet you”.
