Prayer and burial of Fatemah (s.a.)

11:35 - 2016/03/10

 
It is quoted in Rawzatul Wa'ezeen that when the night came forth and people slept and a part of the night had passed, Imam Ali (a.s.) alongwith Hasan (a.s.), Husain (a.s.), Ammar, Miqdad, Aqeel, Zubair, Abu Zarr, Salman, Buraidah, and a few chosen men among theBani Hashim, brought out the beir of Fatemah (s.a.) and recited Prayers upon it. And they buried her during mid-night and Imam Ali (a.s.) built seven more graves around the real grave so that it could not be recognized.
 
It is related in Misbahul Anwar that a man asked Imam Ja'far as Sadiq (a.s.), "How many Takbeer did Amirul Mo’meneen Ali (a.s.) recite in the Prayers upon Fatemah (s.a.)"? Imam (a.s.) replied, "Ali (a.s.) would recite one takbeer, Jibra'eel would then recite the second one, followed by the Angels Near to Allah (s.w.t.), thus Imam (a.s.) recited five Takbeers". Another man asked, "Where did they Pray"? Imam al Sadiq (a.s.) replied, "In her house, then they brought the beir out of the house".
