Hasan (a.s.) & Husain (a.s.) in embrace of Fatemah (s.a.)

11:31 - 2016/03/10

 

 
Waraqah relates that Amirul Mo’meneen Ali (a.s.) says, that I was busy in giving the dead-body bath to Fatemah (s.a.). I bathed her alongwith her shirt on and by Allah, Fatemah (s.a.) was pure and chaste. Then I anointed her with the leftover camphor of the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.). I shrouded her and wrapped her, and before tying the cord of the shroud, I called out, "O Umm Kulsum ! O Zainab ! O Sakinah ! O Fizzah ! O Hasan ! And O Husain ! Come and behold your mother for the time of separation has approached". Hasan (a.s.) and Husain (a.s.) came and heaved a sigh and said, "O grief ! The heat (of grief) for our Grandfather Muhammad al Mustafa (s.a.w.s.) and our Mother Fatemah al Zahra (s.a.) shall never diminish. O Mother of Hasan ! O Mother of Husain ! When you meet our Grandfather (s.a.w.s.), convey our greetings to his presence and tell him that we have become orphans after your passing away". Imam Ali (a.s.) says, that Allah (s.w.t.) is witness, she gave a cry and stretched her hands and pressed them to her chest. Suddenly I heard a caller from the heavens saying, "O Abal Hasan ! Lift them up, for by Allah (s.w.t.), their weeping makes the Angels of the Heavens weep". Then Ali (a.s.) lifted Hasan (a.s.) and Husain (a.s.) from her chest.
