Hazrat Fatemah (sa) on the Day of Qiyamat

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 Abu Dharr said, “Once, I saw Salman and Bilal al-Habashi come to the Prophet of Allah. Suddenly, Salman fell to the ground and startd to kiss the feet of the Prophet. The Prophet stopped him from doing so and said, ‘O Salman! Do not perform such an act with me as the Persians do to their kings as I am from among the slaves of Allah, and (like the creations of Allah) I eat and sit.’

Salman replied, ‘O my Master! I wish that you would relate to me the excellence of Sayyidah Fatimah on the Day of Resurrection.’ The Prophet looked at him with a smiling face and said, ‘I swear by the Lord in Whose hands is my life! Fatimah is a woman who shall pass by the ground of ‘Mahshar’ mounted upon a camel and her face will reveal piety and her eyes will shine forth with the light of Allah.

Jibra’il will be on the right side of the camel, while Mika’il on the left. ‘Ali will walk in front of her, while Hasan and Husayn will walk behind her. Allah will be her Protector and Guardian until she passes by the ground of ‘Mahshar’. Then suddenly the voice of Allah will come, ‘O creatures! Lower your gazes and bow your heads down. This is Fatimah, the daughter of your Prophet, wife of ‘Ali your Imam, and the mother of Hasan and Husayn.’

Then she shall pass over the bridge (sirat) while adorning two white and clear veils. When Fatimah enters Paradise and witnesses the blessings and gifts that Allah has reserved for her, she will say:

‘In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. All praise is Allah’s (alone) Who has taken away from us (all) grief, Verily our Lord is Oft-Forgiving, the greatest appreciator (of goodness). He Who has alighted us of His grace in an abode to abide, therein touches us not any toil, not affects us therein any fatigue.’

Then Allah will reveal to Fatimah: ‘Ask me whatever you desire so that I may offer you that which will please you. Fatimah will reply: ‘O Lord! I desire You! Rather You are far above what I desire. I ask in Your presence not to punish my friends and the friends of my progeny in the hell-fire.’

Allah will say: ‘O Fatimah! I swear by My honour and My glory! I have sworn to Myself two thousand years before the creation of the Heavens and the Earth, that I shall not punish your friends and those of your progeny in the hell-fire.’”
