Golden Sayings of Prophet Hazrat Muhammed S.a.w.
Asalamoalaka ya Rasool Allah s.a.w.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: (On the Day of Judgment, a group would be seen in the most excellent and honourable of states. They would be asked if they were of the Angels or of the Prophets. In reply they would state): "We are neither Angels nor Prophets but of the indigent ones from the ummah of Muhammad (S.A.W.)". They would then be asked: "How then did you achieve this lofty and honourable status?" They would reply: "We did not perform very many good deeds nor did we pass all the days in a state of fasting or all the nights in a state of worship but yes, we used to offer our (daily) prayers (regularly) and whenever we used to hear the mention of Muhammad (S.A.W.), tears would roll down our cheeks".
- Surely, there exists in the hearts of the Mu' mineen, with respect to the martyrdom of Husain (A.S.), a heat that never subsides.
- O' Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment except the eye which has shed tears over the tragedy of Husain (A.S.) for surely, that eye shall be laughing and shall be given the glad tidings of the bounties and comforts of Paradise.
- 'The Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) said: "As for my daughter Fatima, she is the mistress of all women; from the beginning of history until the end. She is part of me; she is the light of my eye and the fruit of my heart.' 'Fatima is my spirit, which I hold in me; she is a human huri. Whenever she keeps up prayer in her Mehrab before her Lord, her light illuminates to the angels in Heaven just as a star shines to mankind on Earth. So Allah, Exalted is His name, says to the angels: 'My angels, look at my servant, Fatima, who is the mistress of all my female servants, keeping up prayers before Me. Her limbs shake from fear of Me and she worships Me whole heartedly. Bear witness that I have safeguarded her Shiites (followers) from Hellfire..."'
Ibn Umar said: "Once the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) kissed Fatima's head and said: `May your
father be your sacrifice; stay as you are ...."
Aisha said: "Once the Messenger of Allah kissed Fatima's throat so I said, Messenger
of Allah! You have done something which you have not done before!" The Prophet answered: "Aisha, whenever I long for Paradise, I kiss
Fatima's throat."
Aisha said: "Whenever the Prophet returned from a trip, he would kiss Fatima's throat
and say: "From her, I do smell the fragrance of Paradise."
- The same narrator reported that Usama said: "I went to visit the Prophet of Allah one night; he (P.B.U.H.) came out carrying something that I didn't recognize under his cloak. When I finished my work with him I said. `What do you have under your cloak?' When he opened his cloak, I saw Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain on his lap.
- The Prophet then said: These are my children and my daughter's sons; O Allah, you surely know that I love them, therefore love them. "
Furthermore, it has already been verified that the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said to
Imam Hassan (A.S.): "This son of mine is a Master."
- He also said: "Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain, these two sons of mine, are Imams whether they rise or forebear." and:
- "Every daughter's children are called to their Father, save Fatima's children; for I am their Father."
- The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) chose Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain to represent his sons, Fatima for "women," and himself and Ali (A.S.) for "ourselves." (Translator's note)
- "You have lost your son, but We have given you Fatima; although she is just one, Allah will make that one many."
Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
said: "She was safeguarded from menstruation and childbed (bleeding)."
- Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said: "Fatima was called Al-Batoul because she was safeguarded and relieved from that which women encounter every month (menstruation)."
- Prophet (P.B.U.H.) was asked about the meaning of Batoul-someone said to him: "Messenger of Allah, we have heard you say that Maryam is Batoul and Fatima, too, is Batoul!!"
- The Prophet replied: "Batoul is she who never see blood, meaning that she never discharges menstrual blood; because menstruation is resented if it occurs in Prophet's daughters."
- Prophet said: "My daughter is a human huri, she never menstruates, nor does she encounter any menses."
- "Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) has never menstruated nor discharged childbed blood."
- 'Among Fatima's particularities is that she did not menstruate, and when she gave birth to a child, she would immediately become purified from childbed confinement so as not to miss her prayers."
- The Prophet said to Ali: "Do you possess anything (which you can pay for the dowry) to marry Fatima'?"
- The Prophet (s) said, "The Mehdi is from my family, from the sons of Fatima."
The Holy Prophet said: "whoever injures (bodily or sentimentally ) Fatimah, injures me ; and whoever injures me injures Allah; and whoever injures Allah practices unbelief. O Fatimah ! If your wrath is incurred, it incurs the wrath of Allah; and if you are happy, it makes Allah happy too."
And I testify that my father Mohammad (s.a.w) is the apostle and the servant of Allah. And Allah selected and chose him before appointing him at the post of Prophet hood. And He named him before choosing and selecting him. And chose him before envying and delegating him. Then all the creations were hidden and covered in the covers of unseen and were hidden amid the screen and curtain of fear and fright and stayed near the last and final border of non entity (nothingness) for Allah was aware of and knew the end of matters and because of His encompassing the incidents of times and ages and His knowledge of the predestinates.
The Holy Prophet said, " Fatimah is a peace of my heart". He would go out to receive his doughtier whenever she come from her husband's house. Every morning on his way to the Mosque, he would pass by Fatimah's house and say: " as-salamu ` alaykum ya ahlul-Bayti`n-nubuwwah wa ma` dani ` r - risala " ( peace be on you O the Household of prophet hood and the source of Messengership) Fatimah is famous and acknowledged as the " sayyidatu 'n-nisa'i ' l-alamin " ( Leader of all the women of the world for all times ) because the Prophethood of Muhammad would not have been everlasting without her.
The Prophet (s) said, "The best women in Paradise will be Mary, Asiya, Khadija, and Fatima."
"The first one to enter Paradise will be Fatima."
The Prophet (s) said, "On the Day of Judgment, a caller will call out, 'lower your gaze until Fatima has passed."
"When I long for the fragrance of Paradise I smell the neck of Fatima.
The Prophet (s) said, "Of all the women in the Universe, four would suffice: Mary, Asiya, Khadija, and Fatima."
The Prophet (s) said, "I am not pleased unless Fatima is pleased."
The Prophet (s) said, "All the children of a mother are attributed to their fatherly relation except the sons of Fatima."
The Prophet (s) said, "All the children of a woman are attributed to their father, but not the sons of Fatima."
The Prophet (s) said, "The most beloved of my family to me is Fatima."
The Prophet (s) said, "The four greatest women in the Universe are Mary, Asiya, Khadija, and Fatima."
The Prophet (s) said, "The head of the women of Paradise is Fatima."
"If I were separated from the fruits of Paradise I would kiss.
"Many men have reached completion, but no women have reached completion except four: Mary, Asiya, Khadija, and Fatima.
"Fatima is a human huri, whenever I long for paradise I kiss her."?
- "My daughter Fatima is a human huri."
- "Fatima is the true splendor."
- "Fatima was like a moon on its full night, or the sun covered with no clouds. She was white with a touch of rose color on her face, her hair was black and she had the beautiful features of the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.)"
- (The Mother of the Faithful, Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her) saying: "Fatima used to speak when she was in her Mother's womb; when she was born, she fell on the ground in a prostrating position with her finger raised."
- Aisha's saying: "I have not seen a person more similar to the Prophet's appearance, conduct, guidance and speech whether sitting or standing than Fatima. When she enters, the Messenger of Allah stands up, kisses and welcomes her, then takes her hand and asks her to sit in his place."
- Aisha said: "I have not seen anyone more similar to the Messenger of Allah's habit of speech and dialogue than Fatima... "
"Prayer is forbidden to you until you go to Khadija's house and perform
coition with her; for Allah (Glory be to Him) ordained upon Himself to create
noble progeny from you tonight.' So he rushed to Khadija's house." Khadija said: "I had gotten used to seclusion by that time, so when night arrived
I covered my head, put down the curtains, locked the doors, performed my
prayers, put out the lantern, and retired to my bed. That night while I was
between the states of sleeping and being awake, the Prophet knocked on the door;
so I exclaimed: Who is knocking on the door that only Muhammad knocks on?" The Prophet gently and politely replied: "Open the door Khadija, I am Muhammad" Khadija said: "I cheerfully got up and opened the door for the Prophet to come in. He (P.B.U.H.)
usually requested the water jug to perform ablution and two short prayer
prostrations before he retired. On the contrary, that night he (P.B.U.H.)
did not request the jug nor did he perform prayers... instead, what occurs
between a woman and her husband occurred between us; and by Allah, who created
the heavens and caused water to come out of springs, before the Prophet left me,
I felt Fatima's weight in my womb..."
Ibn Abbas said: "Aisha entered the house while the Messenger of Allah was kissing Fatima,
so she said: Do you love her, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied: 'Indeed, by Allah if you knew the extent of my love for her,
your love would increase for her. When I was in the forth heaven... (until he
said) that I found these dates softer than butter, more pleasant than musk and
sweeter than honey. So when I descended to earth, I came unto Khadija and she
bore Fatima. Thus, Fatima is a human huri, whenever I long for paradise I smell
her. "
- "Some noble narrators mentioned that one day Lady Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Master of creatures (the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)) to show her a fruit from the Dwell of Peace (Paradise). Thus, Gabriel brought him who was chosen above all two apples from Paradise and said: 'O Muhammad, He who appointed a due proportion for all things says to you: "Eat one apple and give the other to Lady Khadija, then come unto her, for I will create from you (both) Fatima Zahra. "The Chosen One did what The Guardian (Gabriel) told him to do, and.. (Until he said): 'Thus, whenever the Chosen One longed for Paradise and its greatness, he would kiss Fatima and smell her beautiful fragrance and say: 'Fatima is a human huri.'"
- "When I was pregnant with Fatima, which was an easy pregnancy, she would speak to me from inside my womb."
- "When Khadija was pregnant with Fatima, she (Fatima) used to speak to her from her womb, but Khadija kept this from the Prophet. One day, the Prophet entered the house and found Khadija speaking to someone while no one was in the room with her. He inquired as to whom she was speaking; she replied: 'That which in my womb, surely it speaks to me.'
- Then the Prophet said: 'Rejoice Khadija, for this is the girl whom Allah has made to be the mother of eleven of my successors who will come after me and after their father. "'
- "At the time when Khadija's pregnancy had become apparent, the infidels asked
the Prophet to show them the splitting of the moon; upon hearing this Khadija
"O what a disappointment it would be! Had Muhammad lied while he is the best Messenger of my Lord?"
It was then that Fatima called Khadija from her womb and said:
"O Mother, do not be grieved nor sorrowful, for surely Allah is with my father."
- Umme Salama said: "Fatima never discharged blood during her childbed confinement; nor does she menstruate."
- Asma Bint Umais said: "When Fatima gave birth to Al-Hassan, she did not bleed; she also does not
bleed during periods of menstruation. (When I informed the Prophet of this) he
said: `Do you not know that my daughter is pure and chaste; she does not
discharge blood as a result of childbirth or menstruation."'
"We have created (the huri) of special creation; and made them virgin pure (and undefiled)." (56: 35-36)
- During Khadija's last days, she was confined to bed. One day the Prophet of
Allah (P.B.U.H.) said to her: "What you are encountering, is because of us Khadija; when you meet your
peers send my Salam to them!" Khadija questioned: "Who are they; O Prophet of Allah?"
He answered: "Maryam Bint Imran, Kalthum (Musa's sister), and Assia-Pharaoh's wife."
She then said: "May you live in harmony and have sons, O Prophet of Allah."
The Messenger of Allah used to say: "I was commanded to give Khadija the good news of a dwelling in Paradise made of brocade where there is neither clamoring nor strain."
- Lady Khadija was once crying in the presence of Asma Bint Umais, who said to
her: "Why are you crying while you are the Mistress of all women, and the
Prophet's wife, who will enter Paradise as he has said?" Khadija replied: "l am not crying (for fear of death), rather, I am crying
because every woman needs a close friend on her wedding night to tell her
secrets to and help her in certain issues; Fatima is still very young and I am
afraid that she will be alone on her wedding night!"
Asma said: "O my mistress, I vow to you, by Allah, that if I am alive then, I will take your place..."
- Fatima's arrival at the scene of the battle, coincided with the Prophet's
inspection of his soldiers, to find out how many had been martyred and wounded.
When he reached Hamza, he found him in an indescribable situation; the infidels
had badly mutilated his body; they had cut off his fingers, hands, legs, nose,
ears, and ruptured his abdomen to get his liver out. They had also cut off his
sexual organ and left him in that horrible position.
The scene of Hamza's defaced body brought sadness and pain to the Prophet's heart. The infidel had not abandoned any ugly method of mutilation, which they did not commit against the strong and steadfast supporter of Allah's Apostle, (Peace be upon him and Ahlul-Bayt). While the Prophet was deeply saddened by this infliction, his Aunt and Fatima were rushing towards the scene. As Soon as he noticed them, he covered Hamza's body with one of his garments. Safia and Fatima arrived and began crying and condemning the infidels for their crimes. They noticed that the Prophet's forehead was badly cut and that blood had become clotted on his face and beard; thus, Fatima Zahra started cleaning his face and said:
"Allah's punishment will be severe on him who caused the Messenger's face to bleed."
- "Fatima is part of me, discomforts me that which discomforts her, and harms me that which harms her."
- After Al-Hassan was born Fatima asked Ali (A.S.) to name the baby, but Ali said: "I would not name him before Allah's Prophet". When the Prophet saw that Al-Hassan was wrapped in a yellow cloth, he said: "Didn't I tell you not to wrap him in a yellow cloth?" He then threw the yellow cloth away and wrapped the baby in a white one. When the Prophet inquired about the name of the child, Ali (A.S.) answered: "I would not name him before you." The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) replied: "I too, would not name him before my Lord, Glory be to Him." At that moment Allah revealed to Gabriel: A son was born to Muhammad, therefore descend and give him My blessings and congratulate him and say: "Surely Ali is to you as Haroun was to Musa, so give him (the newborn baby) the name of Haroun's son:"' When Gabriel had revealed the message to the Prophet, he asked: "What was Haroun's son's name?" Gabriel said: "Shubbar." The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) then said: "My tongue is Arabic." Gabrial said: "Name him Al-Hassan."
- Hazrat "Zainab was born in Shaban 5 A.H. When her mother brought her to Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Name her" he replied: "I would not name her before Allah's Messenger." At this time the Prophet was on a trip and when he returned, he again refused to name her before her Lord. So Gabriel descended to inform the Prophet about Allah's blessings and said: "The name of this baby is Zainab; Allah chose this name for her."
The Prophet of Islam (SAW) calls that day, the day of light and human dignity. He said :"Hazrat Al Mahdi (as) will come in a situation that diversity and degradation among the people is so high that the world will be ruined. He will come and preserve humanity from damage and corruption. Then God will enrich peoples hearts with faith and love"
The messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said, "Hussein is from me and I am from Hussein. Allah loves whoever loves Hussein. Hussein is a disciple of the disciples."
"The prophet of Allah (S.a.w.) said: "I am the master of the prophets, who will come after me are twelve, the first one of whom is Ali and the last one is al-Mahdi, who will revolt against injustice.
The people asked: "O Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), who will be the Imaam of the people at the time?"Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "He will be from my progeny and will be forty years of age. His face will shine like a star and he will have a black spot on his left cheek. He will don two "Qutwaani" cloaks and will appear exactly as a person from the Bani Israeel..."
According to hadith narrated by Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A.) Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "...(regarding the rule of Imaam Mahdi) the skies will rain down in abundance and the earth will yield forth its crop in abundance, and those alive will desire that those who have already passed away should have been alive to enjoy this prosperity..."
"Behold! My Ahlul-Bayt are like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarked in it was SAVED, and whoever turned away from it was PERISHED.
Sayyidena Eesa (A.S.) will lead the Janaazah of Imam Mahdi (A.S.). While the people will be pledging their allegiance to Imaam Mahdi, a voice from the unseen will call out: "This is the representative of Allah, The Mahdi, listen to him and obey him"
"There will be four peace agreements between you and the Romans. The fourth agreement will be mediated through a person who will be from the progeny of Hadhrat Haroon (A.S.) and will be upheld for seven years."
1) The Prophet (PBUH and HF) said: "Even if the entire duration of the world's existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left (before the day of judgment), Allah will expand that day to such a length of time, as to accommodate the kingdom of a person from my Ahlul-Bayt who will be called by my name. He will fill out the earth with peace and justice as it will have been full of injustice and tyranny (by then)."
The Prophet (PBUH and HF)said: "al-Mahdi is one of us, the members of the household (Ahlul-Bayt)."
The Prophet (PBUH and HF) said: The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatimah (the daughter of the Prophet (PBUH)).
A believer's intention is better than his deed."
"May God bless one who hears my words, learns them and quotes them as he has heard, for someone may be charged with knowledge but does not understand it deeply."
With mispronunciation God's commandments may be misinterpreted.
Bukhari reported in v.5, p.21 and 29 of his Sahih that Allah's Messenger said: "Fatima is part of me, he who harms her harms me."
'A trustworthy man informed me that the Messenger of Allah said: "Surely Fatima is part of me, pleases me that which pleases her. "
Abu Ibrahim (A.S.) that he said about
the words of Allah:
`May be your Lord will raise you to a praised position': The people, on the Day of Resurrection, will remain standing for forty years; and the sun will be ordered so that it will ride over their heads and they will be bridled with sweat, and the earth will be told not to accept any of their sweat. So, they shall approach Adam to intercede for them, and he will direct them to Nuh, and Nuh will direct them to Ibrahim, and Ibrahim will direct them to Musa, and Musa will direct them to Isa, and Isa will direct them saying: `You should seek help from Muhammad, the last Prophet.' Thereupon, Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) will say: `I'll do it'; and will proceed until arriving at the door of the Garden; he will knock on it. It will be asked, `Who is it?' (While Allah knows better), and he will say: `Muhammad,' then it will be said: `Open for him'. When the door will be opened, he will turn to his Lord, falling in sajdah. He will not raise his head until he is told: `Speak up and ask, you shall be given; and intercede, your intercession shall be granted.' He will raise his head and turning to his Lord, will fall (again) in sajdah. Then he will be promised as before; then he will raise his head.- Thereupon, he shall intercede until he will intercede even for him who would have been burnt in the fire. Therefore, on the Day of Resurrection, no one among all the nations will be more eminent than Muhammad (P.B.U.H.); and this is (the meaning of) the words of Allah: `May be your Lord will raise you to a praised position."
The Prophet (s) said, "Fatima
is a maiden of Paradise in human form, she does not receive any kind of
is part of me, whatever harms her harms me, and whatever is against her is
against me."
The Prophet (s) said, "Verily, God
has weaned (fatama in Arabic) my daughter
Fatima and her children and those who love them from the Hellfire,
and that is why she is named Fatima."
The Prophet (s) said, "Fatima,
you will be the first amongst my Ahlul-Bayt to follow after me."
The Prophet (s) said, "Fatima
is part of me. Whatever upsets her upsets me, and whatever harms her harms
The Prophet (s) said, "Fatima
is part of me, and whoever pleases her, pleases me."
The Prophet (s) said, "Fatima
is the head of the women of Paradise."
The Prophet (s) said, "Fatima
is part of me, so whoever makes her angry makes me angry."
is a maiden of Paradise created in human form."
For example, the Holy Prophet (SAW) was asked: suppose we sacrifice a camel, cow, or a sheep, then we find out that there is a young in the womb of the animal, can we eat from it
"Eat if you wish, for the slaughtering of the mother is the same as the slaughtering of the young."
. "A believer's Dua will increase his good deeds and rewards him in the Hereafter as his other good deeds are rewarded."
"Do not abhor God's blessings nor ask for any things without giving it a thought. If affliction befalls sustenance and life of any one of you, do not ever ask for a change, since a change might lead to death or destruction. You should rather say: O God, by the position of Mohammad (SAW) and his household, if there is a blessing in what has befallen me, make me patient and give me not only the power of forbearance, but make me pleased with it too. Yet if there is blessing in something else, give that something to me. At any rate, make me pleased with Your Decree, for praise is due only to You."
"O servants of God, you are as the sick and the Lord of the worlds as the Healer. The interests of a sick person are in what the Healer prescribes and what is expedient for him and not in his desire or his improper requests. Therefore submit to God's decree that you may be successful.
"Whoever turns to Me and stops having hope in anyone but Me, I will be sufficient for him. I will give to anyone who requests and answer anyone who calls upon Me.
"If a believer calls upon God and does not ask Him for cutting of family relations or a sinful deed, god Almighty will give him one of the three following virtues:
-Answers his Dua quickly
-Delays answering his Dua
-Repels from him an evil equal to what he has begged.
The companions said: O Messenger of Allah, therefore, we should increase our Duas. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: God answers the Duas most frequently. In a Hadith by Malik Ibne Anas, it has been mentioned that the Holy prophet for three times said: God answers our Duas most of the time.
"If a servant who is favored by God supplicates, God says to Gabriel: grant his request but delay it, for I like to hear his voice more and more but if someone, in disfavor with God, supplicates, God says to Gabriel: O Gabriel! Grant the request of My servant with haste, for I don't like to hear his voice."
"An intelligent person is one who abjects his carnal desires and endeavors for the Hereafter but a fool person is one who follows his carnal desires and at the same time asks forgiveness from God.
The Prophet (PBUH and HF) said: "We (I and my family) are members of a household that Allah (SWT) has chosen for them the life of the Hereafter over the life of this world; and the members of my household (Ahlul-Bayt) shall suffer a great affliction and they shall be forcefully expelled from their homes after my death; then there will come people from the East carrying black flags, and they will ask for some good to be given to them, but they shall be refused service; as such, they will wage war and emerge victorious, and will be offered that which they desired in the first place, but they will refuse to accept it till they pass it to a man from my family (Ahlul-Bayt) appears to fill the Earth with justice as it has been filled with corruption. So whoever reaches that (time) ought to come to them even if crawling on the ice/snow since among them is theVice-regent of Allah (Khalifatullah) al-Mahdi."
Abu Nadra reported: We were with the company of Jabir Ibn Abdillah... Jabir Ibn Abdillah kept quite for a while and then reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: "There would be a Caliph in the last (period) of my Ummah who would freely give handfuls of wealth to the people without counting it." I said to Abu Nadra and Abu al-Ala: Do you mean Umar Ibn Abd al-Aziz? They said: NO, (he would be Imam Mahdi).
"Al-Mahdi is from our Ahlul-Bayt, no doubt Allah will enforce his appearance within a night (i.e., his coming is very unpredictable and is very sudden)."
Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A.) relates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "Al Mahdi will be from my progeny. His forehead will be broad and his nose will be high. He will fill the world with justice and fairness at a time when the world will be filled with oppression. He will rule for seven years.", He will be tall ,He will be fair complexioned His facial features will be similar to those of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) His character will be exactly like that of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) His father's name will be Abdullah, His mother's name will be Aamina He will speak with a slight stutter and occasionally this stutter will frustrate him causing him to hit his hand upon his thigh. His age at the time of his emergence will be forty years He will receive Knowledge from Allah. His Emergence and Rule.
"When the sun of her beauty shined in the heavens of Messengership and became full on the horizon of exaltation of the moon of her perfection, the dawns of thoughts reached towards her and the sights of the chosen longed to observe her beauty; so the masters of the Muhajerin and Ansar asked to many her, but the one who was bestowed with Allah's satisfaction (the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) rejected them and said: `I am waiting for Allah's ordinance in her regard."'
Abu Bakr and Umar were among those who asked to marry Fatima, but the Prophet
(P.B.U.H.) rejected them too, and said that she was still too young for
marriage. AbdurRahman Ibn Awf also asked for her hand, but the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
ignored him.
Ali Ibn Muragi reported in his book Kanz al-Umal v.2 p.99, that Anas Ibn Malik said:
- "Abu Bakr came to see the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). After sitting down he
`O Messenger of Allah, you surely know of my devotion and long standing service to Islam...'
- The Prophet then said: `What is it that you want?'
Abu Bakr then said: `I want you to give me Fatima in marriage.'
- When the Prophet heard this, he did not say anything, so Abu Bakr returned to
Umar and said:
`I have ruined myself and others!!'
Umar said: `What happened?'
Abu Bakr replied: `I asked for Fatima's hand from the Prophet, but he ignored me.'
Umar said: `You stay here, and I will go ask the Prophet for the same thing that you asked him for.'
- Umar went to the Prophet and after sitting down started saying:
`O Messenger of Allah, you surely know of my devotion and long standing service to Islam...'
- The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) then said: `What is it that you want?'
Umar replied: `I want you to give me Fatima in marriage.'
- But the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) ignored him too.
Umar returned to Abu Bakr and said: `He is waiting for Allah's command in her regard."'
Al-Haithami also reported in his book Majma Az-Zawa'ed that Abu Bakr and Umar sent their daughters to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) in order to ask him to give Fatima in marriage to them; but when the daughters mentioned why they had come, the Prophet said:
"No! Not until Allah's command in her regard is revealed"
- Allah the Exalted has said: "Verily the Good shall drink of a Cup (of wine) mixed with Kafur. A fountain
where the Devotees of God do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance. They
perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil lies far and wide. And they
feed, for the love of God, the indigent, the orphan and the captive. Saying, `We
feed you for the sake of God alone; no reward do we desire from you, nor
thanks.' `We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord.'
But God will deliver them from the evil of that day, and will shed over them a
light of Beauty and a (blissful) Joy. And because they were patient and
constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garment of) silk. Reclining in
the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive
heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold. And the shades of the (Garden) will come
low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility. And
amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal;
Crystal clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof
(According to their wishes). And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of
wine) mixed with Zanjabil. A fountain there, called Salsabil. And around about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): if
thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls. And when thou lookest,
It is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent. Upon them will be
green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with
Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine pure
and Holy. Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavor is accepted and
recognized." (76: 5-22)
These verses were revealed after Ali, Fatima, Hassan, and Hussain (A.S.) gave charity to needy people; this story is stated in the book Al-Kashaf by Zamakhshari; it goes as follows:
- "Ibn Abbas said: `Once Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain (A.S.) were ill, the Messenger of Allah and a group went to visit them. The visitors suggested to Imam Ali (A.S.) to make a vow to Allah: if He were to relieve them, he would perform some good action. Therefore, Imam Ali together with Fatima and their servant Fidhdha vowed to Allah that they would fast for three days if He would relieve Hassan and Hussain.'
- 'When Allah had relieved them, Imam Ali (A.S.) borrowed three (3) aswu (a cubic measure) of barley from a Jew known as Shimon. Fatima ground one (1) sa'a (singular of aswu) of the barley and baked five loaves of bread for her family's meal at sunset. As sunset approached, a needy man knocked on the door and said: Assalamu Alaikum, Family of Muhammad. I am a needy man from among the Muslims, feed me, may Allah feed you from the food of Paradise.' The holy family preferred the needy man over themselves and spent the night with nothing in their stomachs save water.'
- 'They fasted the second day, and again at sunset, when they were waiting for their food, an orphan asked them for help and they again preferred him over themselves. The third evening a captive (prisoner of war) asked them for help and they repeated their preference for the needy above themselves.'
- 'The following morning, Imam Ali (A.S.) took Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain to the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) who said the following when he saw them shaking like little chicks from hunger:
- "The Prophet said: It displeases us to see you in this condition.' Then he went with them, for he wanted to see Fatima. When they arrived, Fatima (A.S.) was in the Mehrab (prayer place), and her condition was such that it further displeased the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). At this time, Gabriel descended and said: `
- Take this chapter Muhammad, - Allah surely congratulates you for having this family. " It is worthy to state that the Good ones mentioned here are Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussain; who deserve Paradise because of their act of feeding the needy, the orphan, and the captive.
- Another point to keep in mind here is that despite the detailed description of Paradise given in the verses, Allah, the Exalted, does not mention the huris. This understood to be in honor and exaltation of Fatima (A.S.) the wife of Imam Ali, and the mother of Hassan and Hussain.
- Allah, the Exalted said: "If anyone disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge
hath come to thee, say: `Come! Let us gather together; our sons arid your sons,
our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves. Then let us invoke the curse
of God on those who lie!'" (3: 61)
This event is famous and is known to all Muslims. Islamic scholars are united on the fact that it was revealed in regard to the Christian delegation who came from Najran to dispute the issue of Isa Ibn Maryam (A.S.) with the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). In v.6 of Bihar, Imam Ali (A.S.) mentioned the event in the following manner: A delegation of Najrani Christians led by three prominent men, Al-Aqib, Muhsen, and the Archbishop; these meet along with two prominent jews came to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). They intended to argue with him; the archbishop started: "Abu Al-Qasim, who was Musa's father?" The Prophet answered: "Imran." The archbishop then said: "Who was Yusufs father?" The Prophet answered: "Yaqoub." The archbishop continued: "May I be your sacrifice; who is your father?" The Prophet answered: "Abdullah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib." Then the archbishop asked: "Who is Isa's (Jesus) father?" The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) waited a moment while Gabriel revealed the following to him: "(Say) he was the Spirit of Allah and His Word."
The archbishop then asked: "Can he be a spirit without having a body?" Again a revelation was sent to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) the revelation is as follows: "The similitude of Isa before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: `Be.' And he was." When the archbishop heard this, he jumped in objection to the Prophet saying that Isa (A.S.) was created from dust, and said: "Muhammad, We don't find this to be in the Torah, the Bible, or in the Zabour. You are the first one to say this." This was the moment that the verse of Mubahala was revealed. After the delegation had heard the verse, they said: "Assign for us a solemn meeting (in which every side supplicates to Allah to curse the other side if they are followers of falsehood)." The Prophet's answer to this was: "Tomorrow morning, if Allah wills."
The next morning, the Prophet finished his morning prayers and ordered Ali to follow him and Fatima, in turn, holding Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain to follow Ali.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) then told them: "When I supplicate you should say: Amen."
When the delegation saw the holy family and that the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) had spread a mat for himself and family, they said to each other: "By Allah, he is a true Prophet; and if he curses us, surely Allah will answer his prayer and destroy us. The only thing that can save us, is to ask him to relieve us from this meeting." Razi, in his interpretation of the Holy Quran states: 'The Archbishop said: "O Christians, I surely see faces of men, who if they were to ask Allah to move a mountain, He would surely do it. Do not hold this meeting, or you shall be destroyed and no Christian will remain on Earth until the Day of Resurrection."
The delegation proceeded toward the Messenger and said: "Abu Al-Qasim, relieve us (from this) solemn meeting." The Prophet said: "Indeed I will; but the One who sent me with righteousness is my witness that had I cursed you, Allah would not have left a Christian on the face of the earth."
This has been a summary of the story. What matters to us here, is Allah's saying in the verse: "Our women and your women." All Muslims have agreed that the Prophet took Ali with him to represent "ourselves," Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain to represent "Our Sons," and Fatima Zahra to represent "Our Women," It is also a given fact that he did not accompany any other woman including his wives, his aunts, or any other Muslim women. This proves that there was not a woman as excellent, great, holy, and chaste as Fatima (A.S.) was. The Prophet called Fatima alone to join him, because she was the only woman capable of fulfilling the qualifications of the verse.
Jabir Ibn Abdullah said: "A beduin came to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and said: 'Muhammad,
present Islam to me.'
'The Prophet replied: `Bear witness that there is no God but Allah, to whom an associate does not exist; and that Muhammad is the slave and Messenger of Allah. '
The beduin said: `Do you require any reward from me (for bringing me to Islam)?'
He (P.B.U.H.) answered: `No, save loving the nearest of kin.'
The beduin then asked: `Mine or yours?'
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said: `My kin.'
The beduin said: `Let me pay allegiance to you, and may the curse of Allah be on those who do not love you and your kin.'
Thus he (P.B.U.H.) said: 'Amen.'"
The Prophet (SAW) has been quoted
as saying: "Isa (PBUH) the Son of Mary is not dead.
Rather, before the Day of Resurrection, he will come back to you."
The late Allama Tabarsi says that the Prophet (SAW) has been quoted as saying: "How will
it be when Isa, Son of Mary descends among you, when your Imam Mahdi (AS) has
risen from among you."
"Anyone who dies without knowing
his Imam-e Zaman has died in ignorance."
"Anyone who dies and has not
declared faith in an Imam, dies ignorant."
- "The Prophet (SA) of Allah stated: 'The words of a man who tells his wife, 'I love you truly',
should never leave her heart'.
Hazrat Umme Salmah (R.A.) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, " After the death of a Ruler there will be some dispute between the people. At that time a citizen of Madina will flee (from Madinah) and go to Makkah. While in Makkah, certain people will approach him between Hajrul Aswad and Maqaame Ibraheem, and forcefully pledge their allegiance to him.
Thereafter a huge army will proceed from Syria to attack him but when they will be at Baida, which is between Makkah and Madina, they will be swallowed into the ground.
On seeing this, the Abdaals of Shaam as well as large numbers of people from Iraq will come to him and pledge their allegiance to him. Then a person from the Quraish, whose uncle will be from the Bani Kalb tribe will send an army to attack him, only to be overpowered, by the will of Allah. This (defeated) army will be that of the Bani Kalb. Unfortunate indeed is he who does not receive a share from the booty of the Kalb. This person (Imam Mahdi) will distribute the spoils of war after the battle. He will lead the people according to the Sunnat and during his reign Islam will spread throughout the world. He will remain till seven years (since his emergence). He will pass away and the Muslims will perform his Janazah salaat."
The Prophet (SA) was asked: 'What sort of obedience is meant here'? The Prophet (SA) of Allah replied: 'It is when the husband permits a woman who asks her husband to flow her to go to the public bath, weddings, celebrations, and condolence gatherings while wearing delicate and thin clothes.
Hazrat Mughaira bin Shoba(R.A.) reports that in the lifetime of Rasullullah (sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) the sun eclipsed on the day on which (his son) Ibraheem died, so people said that the eclipse had occurred because of the death of Ibraheem. Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) upon it, observed that: " The solar or lunar eclipse did not take place because of the death or birth of anyone (but it was the sign of the Power and Splendour of Allah). Thus, when you see the eclipse, offer salaat and remember Allah much."
During the lifetime of Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) the sun was totally eclipsed on the day his infant son Ibraheem(R.A.),died at the age of about 1 and half years. Some authorities also say that this took place in 10 A.H. in Rabi-ul-Awwal. Nevertheless, Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) mentioned that, the sun or moon are two signs of Allah Ta'ala which do not eclipse on account of the birth or death of anyone. When such an event occurs, one should turn to Allah Ta'ala and beseech Him for mercy and forgiveness with deep devotion.Increase the recitation of Subhanallah,Allhamdu-lillah, Allahu-Akbar and Istighfaar.
Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) made a prolonged prostration (sajda) at the time of the eclipse. Afterwards he went away while the sun shone fully. He addressed the people and praised Allah and eulogised Him and the said: Verily the sun and moon are signs of Allah. They do not eclipse for the death of anybody,nor after his birth. So when you see that,read Takbir,send blessings and give alms(charity). Then he said: O People,there is none who is more enraged than Allah(to see) His servant commits fornication. O People,had you known what I know,you would certainly laughed little and wept much.
Abu Musa(R.A.) reported that the sun(once) eclipsed. Then Rasulullah (sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) stood with horror fearing that the Hour had come.He came to the masjid and prayed with the longest of standing,bowing(ruku) and prostrating(sajda) which I did never see him doing before. He said: These are signs which Allah sends not for death of anybody,nor for his birth but He produces dread therewith His servants. So when you see anything of that,hasten to remember Him and seek forgiveness from Him.
Abdur-Rahman-bi-Samurah(R.A.) reports that,there was a solar eclipse,when he hurried to Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) to enquire what has been revealed about the eclipse of the sun.Then I came to him,while he was in prayer,raising his hands.;he began to read Tasbih, Tahlil,Takbir and Tahmid and invoke Allah till he became tired of it.When he was tired of it,he read two chapters(surahs) and prayed two rakaats.
Asthma -bin-Abu Bakr(R.A.) reported that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) ordered manumission of slaves at the time of the solar eclipse.
Don't make Dua'a against yourself or against your children. The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "Don't make dua against yourselves. Don't make dua against your children. Don't make dua against your maids. And don't make dua against your wealth. It might be in a time in which Allah answers the prayers."
Another favored time is in sujud, as the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "The servant is closest to his Lord while in sujud, so ask Allah in that time." Friday is also a preferred, especially in the last hour before maghrib. Also, while the roosters crow, since the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "When you hear the crowing of the rooster ask Allah from His favors because it saw an angel. And if you hear the braying of a donkey,seek refuge with Allah because it saw a devil." Since the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "Two supplications will not be rejected: the supplication during adhan and under rain," (hasan) then these two times are preferred for dua. Supplication on Laylat'ul-Qadr, since it is a blessed and honored time.
The Prophet(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said that: "Every messenger has a Supplication that will be accepted, and I have saved my Supplication as a Shafaa Intersession for my Nation on the Day of Judgment". May Allah make us among those who follow and emulate His Prophet(sallallahu alaihi wa salam), till they receive his intersession on the Day of Judgment. We beg Allah, tala, that He forgives the ones who wrote this article, and forgives the Muslims among their parents. May He benefit the readers, and guide them to the path of His beloved. We ask Allah by His most beautiful names to show mercy to those who spread guidance and stand together upon the truth. Ameen.
On the last night of Ramadhaan, my ummah is forgiven. He was asked if that meant on Laylatul Qadr and he said: "No". (This merit is for the last night, the merits of Laylatul Qadr are quite apart.) "The truth is that full wages are paid to the worker when the work is over and the work is completed in the last night. Hence, they are forgiven.
"The Prophet, sallaallahu `alayhi wa sallam, enjoined the payment of one Sa'a of dates or one Sa'a of barley as Sadaqatul-Fitr on every Muslim, young and old, male and female, free and slave."
Ibn Abbas(radhiyallahu anhu) said: "The Messenger of Allah, sallaallahu `alayhi wa sallam, enjoined Sadaqatul-Fitr on the one who fasts to shield him from any indecent act or speech and for the purpose of providing food for the needy."
If one pays Sadaqatul-Fitr before the Salat, it is considered an accepted charity, if he pays it after the Salat, it is considered an ordinary charity."
"The fast remains suspended between heaven and earth until the Fitrah is paid:-
Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassalaam) has insisted upon us that we should never despair of the mercy of Allah Who has reserved with Him ninety -nine parts of His mercy for distribution among His servants in the Hereafter.Will He then deprive one of His mercy here or there?No never!The only condition for one to deserve this that one should attract His mercy by means of Taubah (repentance) and Istighfar (seeking forgiveness).The more one turns to Allah in repentance and to seeking His forgiveness,the more will one qualify oneself for His mercy and this will bring one salvation in the Hereafter.
Hazrat Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Allah's prophet, if I know which night is the Lailat ul Qadr then what should I pray? He replied: You should pray: O Allah you are very forgiving and love those who forgive other. So, bestow your blessings on me and forgive me".
Whenever you make a supplication for another believer and he is not present, an angel will say 'and same to you.'" One of the ethics when making dua to others is that, if you are going to make dua for yourself and others,start with yourself first, then you make dua to others. But if you are going to make dua for others only, then you don't have to mention yourself first. An example of starting with one's self is seen is the verse, "And those who came after them say, 'Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who were before us in the faith.
"The Prophet (SA) of Allah stated: 'A dirty person is a bad servant (to Allah)'

Aisha(radhiyallahu anha) asked the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) "What should I say on Laylat'il-qadr?" And he replied, "O Allah, indeed you are a Pardoner, and you love pardon; so pardon me." Umm Salamah(radhiyallahu anha) said, the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) entered when Abu Salamah(radhiyallahu anha) was dying and he was looking at the heaven. So the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) closed his eyes and said, "When the soul is being seized, the eyes follow it." Then some people from his relatives panicked. The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "Do not make du'a except for good.Indeed the angels will say, 'Ameen' for whatever you say. O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah, and raise his rank and forgive us and forgive him, O Lord of the Universe, and expand his grave and illuminate it."
The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "Whoever is pleased that Allah answers his prayers during hardships and difficulties, let him make much supplication in times of ease."
Mahdi will come at the end of time and will fill the earth with equity and justice just as it was previously filled with cruelty
and oppression.'
The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) told Anas(R.A.), "Supplication between adhan and iqamah will never be rejected.
"Even if the entire duration of the world's existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left (before the day of judgment), Allah will expand that day to such a length of time, as to accommodate the kingdom of a person from my AhIul-Bayt who will be called by my name. He will fill out the earth with peace and justice as it will have been full of injustice and tyranny" (by then).
'Mahdi shall emerge with the sword at the time of the end of my nation. allah shall send rain, the land will

- Flattery destroys grace & respect .
- It is Allah months (Ramzan)
- "O People! The month of Allah
(Ramadan) has approached you with His mercy and blessings. This is the month
that is the best of all months in the estimation of Allah. Its days are the
best among the days; its nights are the best among the nights. Its hours are
the best among the hours.
This is a month in which he has invited you. You have been, in this month, selected as the recipients of the honors of Allah, the Merciful. In this holy month, when you breathe, it has the Sawab/thawab (heavenly reward) of "Tasbeeh" (the praise of Allah on rosary beads), and your sleep has the thawab of worship.
Your good deeds are accepted in this month. So are your invocations. Therefore, you must invoke your Lord, in right earnest, with hearts that are free from sins and evils, that Allah may bless you, observe fast, in this month, and recite the Holy Qur'an.
Verily! The person who may not receive the mercy and benevolence of Allah in this month must be very unfortunate having an end as bad (in the Hereafter). While fasting, remember the hunger and thirst of tomorrow in Qiyamat. Give alms to the poor and the needy. Pay respects to your elders.
Have pity on those younger than you and be kind towards your relatives and kinsmen. Guard your tongues against unworthy words, and your eyes from such scenes that are not worth seeing (forbidden) and your ears from such sounds that should not be heard by you.
Be kind to orphans so that when your children become orphans they also may be treated with kindness. Do invoke that Allah may forgive your sins. Do raise your hands at the time of Salat (Prayers), as it is the best time for asking His mercy. When we invoke at such times, we are answered by Him, when we call Him, He responds, and when we ask for anything, it is accepted by Him.
O People! You have made your conscience the slave of your desires; make it free by invoking Him for Istighfar (repentance/forgiveness). Your back is breaking under the heavy load of your sins, so prostrate before Him for long intervals and make it lighter.
Do understand fully well that Allah has promised in the name of His Majesty and Honor that He will not take to task such people who fast and offer Salat in this month and perform "sajda" (prostration), and will guard their bodies against the Fire of Hell on the Day of Judgment.
O People! If anybody amongst you arranges for the "Iftar" (food for the ending of the fast) of any believer, then Allah will give him a reward as if he has set free a slave. He will forgive his minor sins.
Then the companions of the Prophet (S.A.W.) said:
"But everybody amongst us does not have the means to do so?"
The Prophet told them: -
"Keep yourself away from the Fire of Hell, by inviting for "Iftar", though it may consist of only half a date or simply with water if you have nothing else. O People! Anybody who may cultivate good manners in this month will walk over the "Siraat" (Bridge) in "Qiyamat", though his feet may be shaking.
Anybody who in this month may take light work from his servants (male or female), Allah will make easy his accounting on the Day of Judgment.
Anybody who does not tease others in this month, Allah will keep him safe from His wrath in Qiyamat. Anybody, who respects and treats an orphan with kindness in this month, Allah shall look at him with dignity in Qiyamat. Anybody who treats well his kinsmen, in this month, Allah will bestow His mercy on him in Qiyamat, while anybody who maltreats his kinsmen in this month, Allah will keep him away from His mercy, in Qiyamat.
Whoever offers "Sunnat" (Recommended) prayers in this month, Allah will give him a certificate of freedom from Hell. Whosoever offers one "Wajib" Salat in this month, for him the Angels will write the rewards of 70 such prayers, which were offered by him in any other months.
Whosoever recites repeatedly "Salat and salam" on me, Allah will keep the scales of his deeds heavy, when in Qiyamat the scales of others will be tending towards lightness.
Whosoever recites in this month only one "Ayat" (verse of the Holy Qur'an), he will be rewarded in a manner as if he had recited the full Qur'an in the other months.
O People! The Gates of Paradise remain opened in this month. Do invoke that the gates may not be closed on you, while the Gates of Hell are closed. Do invoke that these gates may never be opened. During this month Shaytan (Saten) is imprisoned so ask your Lord not to let him have power over you."

Narrated by Hazrat Ali (A.S.) "Holy Prophet said Ya Fatima God gets angry with your anger and God pleasures with your pleasure " ( And it is very clear that Hazrat Zahra was very angry with some of the people among the ummah )
Holy Prophet said that there are four women who are of highest status in the whole universe. They are Mariam Bint-e- Imran, Assia Bint-e- Mazahem , Khadeja Bint-e- Khulid and Fatima Bint-e-Mohemmad (A.S.)

"Seek help from
God when in need, seek refuge with Him during afflictions, supplicate, and
call upon Him, for Dua is the gist of prayer. No believer calls upon God
unless his call is answered in the following ways:
-Either his request is granted in this world
-Or he will receive it in the Hereafter
-Or his sins will be concealed to the extent of his Dua, providing that he has not asked for a sinful act."
- "The weakest person is one who forgets Dua and the most mean person is one who is miser in greeting others."
- "Shall I introduce to you the most miser, the most sluggish, the most stealing person, the most oppressing and the most weak person? They said: Yea, O Messenger of Allah. He said: The most miser person is one who visits a muslim but does not say Salam to him. The most sluggish person is one who is in good health but does not praise God with his lips and tongue during leisure times. The most stealing person is one who does not perform his prayer perfectly. Such prayer is twisted and thrown at his face like an old piece of cloth. The most wrong doing person is one before whom my name is said, but he does not send Allah's greeting to me. The weakest person is one who has forgotten Dua."
- The best prayer is Dua. When God inspires someone with Dua, He opens the door of Mercy to him. A man of Dua will never become wretched."
- "Two persons whose deeds were the same entered paradise. But one of the two sees the other superior. Hence, he says: My Lord! we have done the same deeds. What is his superior position for? God said: He requested from Me but you did not. Then the Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) said: Request from God as much as you can, for your request is not great for God."
"Request from God so that He will grant it. God bestowes blessings upon a group of His servants in return for their deeds and to another group in return for their sincere Dua. Then He will gather both groups in paradise. The first group will say: Our Lord! We were men of good deeds and You granted our requests but how about these people? God will say: These are My servants. I gave you your rewards fully. These people too requested from Me and I gave them a share of My abundant Grace and Mercy. I will give to anyone I wish."
It is related that the Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) chose Thursday to leave his room for outside fresh air in the beginning of summer and chose Friday to his return to room in the beginning of winter."
"Surely Friday is the master of days and the most glorious day of God. Rather it is superior to Eidolfetr and Eidolazha. Friday has five advantages:
-God created Adam (AS) on this day.
-God sent down Adam (AS) from paradise to earth on the same day.
-God took the life of Adam on such a day.
-There are hours in Friday when every one who requests something from God, it will be granted provided that it is lawful.
-Archangels, the heavens, the earth, winds, mountains, and trees fear that the Last Day occurs on such a day."
. "On Friday one must keep a time from the beginning of moon until an hour, for the Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) has said during this hour no servant requests anything from God unless his request is granted.
On Wednesday between noon and afternoon:
Jaber Ibne Abdullah Ansari has thus narrated:
During Ahzab Battle, the Holy Prophet (SAW) prayed on Monday and Tuesday against atheists and his request was granted between noon and afternoon of Wednesday as the result of which happiness appeared on his face. I too prayed at the same time and whenever I faced a problem, my Dua was answered.
Time of night prayer .
"Anyone of you who has a need, should request it during night prayer, for it is especially for you and it has not been granted to former nations (ummahs)."
The first one sixth of midnight.
First, there are Hadiths indicating the virtues of the recommended prayer after midnight while people are asleep.
Secondly, there are Hadiths indicating the virtues of rememberance of God among those heedless of Him.
One third of the last hours of night
"In the last hours of every night, God says:
-Is there anyone who calls upon Me so that I will answer him?
-Is there anyone who request so that I will grant it?
-Is there anyone asking forgiveness so that I will forgive him?
-Is there anyone repenting so that I will accept his repentence?
Ibrahim Ibne Abi Mahmood says I said to Imam Reza (AS): people say: The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said: God comes to the sky of the world every night. What is your opinion of it? He said:
"May God curse those who distort the words of others. By God! The Holy Prophet (SAW) did not day it, rather he said: In the last third of every night and on Friday night, from its beginning, God sends an angel to the sky of this world calling:
-Is there anyone who calls upon Me so that I will grant his request?
-Is there anyone who repents so that I will accept his repentence?
-Is there anyone asking forgiveness so that I will forgive him?
-O seeker of good! come to Me and O seeker of evil! stop it. God keeps on calling until dawn. At this time that angel returns to his place in the heavens. This was polyquoted by my father, his father and the Holy Prophet (SAW)."
Whoever abandons request from God, will become destitute."
"When a true believer rises up to please God with the recommended prayer after midnight, while slumber has overpowered his eyes, God speaks proudly to His angels saying: Do you see this servant of mine who has risen up to perform the prayer which is not obligatory! Therefore I take you as witness that I have forgiven his sins."

I heard the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, say concerning al-Hasan and al-Husayn, peace be on them: O God, I love both of them. Therefore love them and love whoever loves them Then he said: Whoever loves al-Hasan and al-Husayn, is one whom I love. Whomever I love, God loves, and whomever God loves, He will cause to enter Heaven. Whoever hates them, I hate and God hates. Whomever God hates, He will cause to enter the Fire. Then he said: These two sons of mine are my two plants of sweet basil (to sweeten) the world.
[Zirr b. Hubaysh reported on the authority of Ibn Mas'ud: ]
While the Prophet, may God bless him and his family, was praying, al-Hasan and al-Husayn came and stood behind him. When he raised his head, he took them tenderly (into his arms). When he resumed (his prayers), they resumed (theirs). Then when he had finished, he sat one on his right knee and the other on his left knee and said: Whoever loves me, should love these two. They, peace be on them, are the two proofs (hujjatay Allah) of God of His Prophet in the contest of prayer (mubahala). After their father, the Commander of the faithful, they were the two proofs of God (hujjatay Allah) to the community concerning religion (din) and belief (milla).
The Apostle of God said: Al-Hasan and al-Husayn, peace be on them, are the ornaments of the throne (of Heaven). Indeed Heaven, itself, said, 'O my Lord, You have filled me with weak and poor inhabitants.' God, the Exalted, replied to it: 'Are you not content that I have adorned your corners with al-Hasan and al-Husayn, peace be on him?' Then it swaggered as a bride swaggers with happiness.

Fatima will give birth to a boy when she is sitting on your lap (to give birth). [She reported:] Fatima did give birth to al-Husayn, peace be on him, and he was in my lap just as the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, had said. One day I took him to the Prophet, may God bless him and his family, and I put him in his lap. His gaze turned away from me. Behold, both the eyes of the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, were flowing with tears. I said: (May I ransom you) with my father and mother Apostle of God, what is the matter with you? "Gabriel, peace be on him, came to me," he said. "He told me that my community will seek to kill this son of mine and he brought me dust made red by his (blood)."

One day while the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, was sitting down, and al- Husayn was sitting on his knee, his eyes suddenly filled with tears. I said to him: Apostle of God, why do I see you weeping, may I be your ransom? Gabriel, peace be on him, came to me, he said. She consoled me for the death of my son, al-Husayn, and he told me that a group of my community will kill him. May God never let them have intercession from me.

There I saw the death of my son, al-Husayn, and a group of my children and the members of my family (ahl al-bayt). I could not stop (myself) from gathering (some of) their blood and here it is in my hand. He opened his hand and said: Take it and look after it. I took it. It was like red soil. I put it in a phial, fastened its top and kept it. When al-Husayn, peace be on him, left Mecca on his way to Iraq, I took out that phial every day and night. I used to smell it and look at it. Then I would weep for his fate. On the 10th of (the month of) al-Muharram, the day on which al-Husayn, peace be on him was killed, I took it out. At the beginning of the day it was in its usual condition, but at the end of the day, behold, it was fresh blood. I shrieked (with grief) and wept. Then I restrained my anger out of fear that the enemies of the family of the Prophet) in Medina would heae and would hurry to rejoice at their misfortune. I have kept it secret up to the present time, even to the day when the messenger bringing the news of his death came to announce it. Then what I had seen was proved.
It is reported that one day the Prophet, may God bless him and his family, was sitting down. Around him were Ali, Fatima, al-Hasan and al-Husayn, peace be on them. He asked them: How would you feel if when you were killed, your tombs were scattered around (the country)?

Narrated by ibn-a- Abbas one day, one jew of Medina name Nasal came to holy prophet and asked few questions, his first question was about Tauheed, the holy prophet replied in detail. His second question was that every prophet has his special descendent called "Wassi " as Haroon was the Wassi of our prophet Musa so who is your Wassi ,The Holy Prophet replied that Ali is my Wassi after that the two Sibt Hassan and Hussain and after them the nine from the generation of Hussain, then Nasal said , tell me their names also.

The holy prophet said Ali will die with the result of hitting of sword, Hassan will be given poison and then Hussain will be slaughtered. Again he questioned what will be their status in the next world the Holy Prophet replied in the Heaven with me in my status. Upon this Jew Nasal said that I give the evidence that there is no God except that one and Mohammad (A.S.) is his prophet and all above mentioned people are your Ousia, I myself have gone through these facts in the books of former prophets and our prophet Mussa took the oath of all these facts from us.

The ummah will kill the first wasi with sword the second will be given poison and the third will be slaughtered with all his relatives and friends .

He replied yes I know them they were twelve person the first of them was Ladhe bin Barchia who disappeared and again appeared the Holy Prophet said that my eleventh son will also disappear and such a time will come that only the name of Islam will be left , at a such a critical time God will permit him to reappear and to re-dominate Islam again, the good news of well be for those who will follow and help him and those will oppose him will face ultimate destruction .

majoritY of women do carry out these works of a housewife on their own, these are not mandatory.
Men should be grateful to their wives for their wor in the house. Therefore, no man has the right
to question or punish his wife when faced with her refusal to carry out the housekeeping chores.

stated: 'Any man who permits his wife, who has adorned herself,
to leave the house, is a mean-spirited person, and whoever cal!s him as such, would not have
committed any sin. And any woman whose husband permits her to leave the house adorned and
perfumed, with each step that she takes, Allah would build a house for her husband in hell'.

Holy Prophet said " The love of Ahlal Bait is must for you because if any one who meets the God in a state that one's loves us the God will gift him Heaven due to our Shafa'at, I swear to God that no one will be benefited by his good deeds till he loves and cares of our status "

'At the time when the messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) was departing from this world, I went in his presence.
he narrated for me a tradition where he concluded it as such: 'O Fatima, i swear by the lord who appointed
me by the truth that Mahdi of this nation shall be from Hassan and Hussein.
Allah shall send Mahdi at the time when the world will fall into chaos. when seditions will prevail; when
means will be cut-off; when some will revolt over the other; when there will remain no elder who will have
mercy upon the young and when there will remain no young who will respect the elders. Mahdi shall conquer
the forts of deviation and depravity and she afted hearts. Mahdi I shall rise for the religion at the end
of time just as I rose for it in the beginning. he shall fill the world with justice as it was filled with oppression.
Calamity shall befall this nation such that a person will fail
in finding any shelter from it. thereafter Allah will appoint a man from my Ahl-e-Bayt
who will fill the earth with equity and justice just as it was previously filled with cruelty and
'At the end of time, severe calamity shall befall my nation - such severe calamity which
was never heard of before and which people will fail to find any shelter from it. at that time Allah will
appoint a man from my progeny who will fill the earth with equity and justice just as it was filled with
cruelty and tyranny.....
'A person from Bani-Abbass shall emerge from the east and whatever allah wishes will be established
accordingly. afterwards, men with small black flags will rise and will battle out with the offsprings of
abu sufyan. they will prepare the ground for the obedience and submission of Mahdi.
Ali-ibn-Abi Talib (a.s.) said: 'I asked the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w a.) as such: 'O Messenger of
Allah! is Mahdi from our progeny or from others? the holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) replied: rather he is from
us. religion shall terminate by his hands just as it commenced from us. people shall be delivered from
seditions through Mahdi just as they got delivered from polytheism through us. through Mahdi (a.s.) Allah
will create a feeling of intimacy between their hearts (after hatred and sedition) just as he created
intimacy amongst them through us after hatred and polytheism....
'Glad-tidings be to you about Mahdi. he is from the Quraish and from my progeny who shall emerge at the
time of discord and strife amongst the people....
'After me, shall come the caliphs. after the caliphs will come the rulers and after the rulers will come
the kings. then oppressors will follow them and after them will emerge a man from my Ahl-e-Bayt who shall
fill the earth with justice as it was filled with injustice....
'After me, seditions (disasters) will arise the deliverence
of which would not be possible. in those seditions, wars and sporadic fightings would occur. thereafter,
more severe seditions will arise such that if seditions would calm down in one place, the same would
continue in another place. things would extend so far that there would remain no arab house and no muslim
who would not be affected by it. it would be then that a man from my progeny will emerge.
'There is no prophet but that whose nation terrifies the ominous and mendacious Dajjal....'
Regarding Mahdi's emergence; concerning the fact that hazrat is from the progeny of the holy
Prophet (s.a.w.a.); that he will rule for seven years; that he will fill the earth with justice; that he will
emerge along with Isa and the latter would help him in killing Dajjal....

land. the centre row would sink in the ground while the first row would seek help from the last row. then

I approached Umm-ul-Mumineen (i.e. Umm-Salma, the wife
of the holy prophet) along with Harith-ibn-Abu Rabiyah
and Abdullah-ibn Safnan. both inquired from Umm-Salma about the army which
would sink in the ground and Umm-Salma replied:- the
messenger of Allah said: a person will seek shelter in the house (ka'aba?) Allah shall appoint an army and
when they reach the soft land they will sink in it.
I asked: 'O messenger of Allah' how will be the state of the one who will be un-prosperous? he replied: he
too shall sink with them but Allah will appoint him on the day of judgement as per his intention.

He who travels in the search of knowledge, to him God shows the way of Paradise.
Acquire knowledge, because he who acquires it, in the way of the Lord, performs an act of piety; who speaks of it praises the Lord; who seeks it, adores God, who dispenses instruction in it, bestows alms; and who imparts it to its fitting objects, performs an act of devotion to God. Knowledge enables its possessor to distinguish what is forbidden from what is not; lights the way to Heaven; it is our friend in the desert, our companion in solitude, our companion, when bereft of friends; it guides us to happiness; it sustains us in misery; it is our ornament in the company of friends; it serves as an armor against our enemies. With knowledge the creatures of Allaah rises to the heights of goodness and to noble position, associates with the sovereigns in this world and attains the perfection of happiness in the next.
Keep yourselves far from envy, because it eats up and takes away good actions, like the fire that eats up and burns wood.
Whoever suppresses his anger, when he has in his power to show it, God will give him a great reward.

Much silence and a good disposition; there are no two works better than these.
The best of friends is he who is best in behavior and character.
One who does not practice modesity and does not refrain from shameless deeds is not a Muslim.
Paradise lies at the feet of thy mother.

many armies after me. You must join that army which will come from Khurasaan."
He who wishes to enter Paradise must please his father and mother.

Gabriel descended to the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.)and told him: "O Muhammad! The Most Exalted sends His peace upon you and commands you to refrain from (coming close to) Khadija for forty days."
"O Khadija! do not assume that my separation from you means abandoning or forsaking you, rather my Lord commanded me to do so, so expect nothing save benevolence, for surely Allah (exalted is His Name) praises you to His most honorable angels several times a day. Therefore, with nightfall, close the door and lay down to sleep; for I will be staying at Fatima Bint Assad's house."
"O Muhammad! The Most Exalted sends His peace upon you and commands you to be prepared for His salutation and gift."

suitable for her until the Day of Rising."
- Ali Ibn Abu Talib said: The Messenger of Allah said:'My daughter was named Fatima because Allah (Glory be to Him) safeguarded her from the Fire."
- One of those who dearly loved the Prophet was Abu
Dharr al-Ghifari. The Prophet had given the order to march to Tabuk (a
hundred farsangs - about four hundred miles -north of Medina, close to the
border with Syria). Some made excuses, the hypocrites tried to disrupt
things, but eventually a powerful army set out. They had no military
equipment, and they were in difficulties and in need as regards food too,
so that sometimes some of them would make do with a single date; however
they were all full of vigour and cheerful. Love created their strength and
the force of attraction of the Prophet gave them their power.
Abu Dharr was also marching towards Tabuk with
this army. On the way three persons, one after the other, fell behind, and
the Prophet was informed about each one as he dropped back. Each time he
If there is any good in him, God will make him come back; and if there is no good in him, it is better that he go.
The thin, weak camel of Abu Dharr fell back, and then Abu Dharr was also seen to be behind. "O Messenger of Allah ! Abu Dharr has fallen back too!" Then the Prophet repeated the same sentence:
If there is any good in him, God will return him to us; and if there is no good in him, it is better that he go.
The army then continued on its way and Abu Dharr stayed behind; but there was nothing to be done - his animal stayed in the same state. No matter what he did, it would not move, and he had now dropped several miles behind. He set the camel free and took the pack on his own shoulder, and in the hot weather he set out over the scorching sand. He was thirsty and it was killing him. He came across some rocks in the shade of a hill and among them some rainwater had gathered, but he said to himself that he would never drink until his friend, the Prophet of Allah, had drunk. He filled his water-skin, slung it also on his back, and hastened off in the direction of the Muslims.
In the distance they espied a figure. "O Messenger of Allah ! We have seen a distant figure coming towards us! "
He said that it had to be Abu Dharr. He came nearer -yes, it was Abu Dharr, but exhaustion and thirst took his feet away from under him. He was afraid he would collapse. The Prophet said to give him some water quickly, but he said with a feeble voice that he had water with him. The Prophet said:
"You have water, but you are near to dying from thirst! "
"Yes, O Messenger of Allah ! When I tasted the water I refused to drink any before my friend, the Messenger of Allah. "
Hazrat Fatima Zahra(A.S.) said:One day, my dear Father, The Holy Prophet of Allah, came to my house and said to me "Peace be upon you, O Fatima," To which I replied: "And upon you be peace." He said "I feel some weakness in my body." I said "May Allah protect you from your weakness, O my Father." He said, " 0 Fatima, please bring me, the Vestment of Yemen and cover me with it." So, I brought my Father, the Vestment of Yemen and covered him with it. Then I looked at him and saw that his face was shining with the glow of a full white moon, and with the moon's full glory and splendour.After a while my son Hasan(A.S.) came in and said "Peace be upon you, my mother." I replied: "And upon you be peace, O, the light of my eyes and the happiness of my heart." He then said: "Mother! I smell a fragrance so sweet and pure, as that of my Grandfather, The Prophet of Allah." I replied: "Yes. Indeed your Grandfather is sitting underneath that Vestment." Hasan went near to the Vestment and said: "Peace be upon you my Grandfather, The Prophet of Allah. Will you permit me to enter the Vestment with you?." He replied: "And upon you be peace, my son and the master of my fountain, I grant you permission to enter under the Vestment with me." So Hasan entered and sat under the Vestment with my Father.After a while my son Husain(A.S.) came in and said "Peace be upon you, my mother." I replied: "And upon you be peace, O, the light of my eyes and happiness of my heart." He then said: "Mother I smell a fragrance so sweet and pure as that of my Grandfather, The Prophet of Allah." I replied, "Yes. Indeed your Grandfather and your brother are both sitting covered underneath that Vestment." Hussain approached the Vestment and said: "Peace be on you, O my Grandfather, The Chosen of Allah, do you allow me to enter the Vestment with both of you." He replied: "And upon you be peace, my son and intercessor of my followers, I so grant you permission." So Hussain entered and sat under the Vestment with them.After a while Abul Hasan(A.S.), came in and said "Peace be on you, O daughter of The Prophet of Allah." I replied: "And upon you be peace, O Abul Hasan, the Commander of the Faithfulls." He then said: "O Fatima I smell a sweet fragrance and so pure which is like of my Brother and my Cousin, The Holy Prophet of Allah." I replied: "Yes. He is sitting covered underneath that Vestment with both of your sons." Ali(A.S.) then went near to the Vestment and said: "Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah; May I enter the Vestment with You?" He replied: "And upon you be peace, my brother, my legatee, my successor and my standard bearer; I give you permission to enter." So Ali(A.S.) entered under the Vestment with them.Then I myself approached the group sitting underneath the Vestment and requested. "Peace be onto you, my Father, O Prophet of Allah; do you permit me also to enter." He replied: "And upon you be peace, my daughter, O part of myself, I give you permission to enter." So I myself entered and sat under the Vestment with them all.When all of us had gathered together covered over and sitting underneath the holy Vestment, my Father, took hold of the two ends of the Vestment and raised his right hand in Prayer towards The Heavens saying, "Allah, these are The People of my Ahlul-Bayt and very specially my Own and my Protectors. They are of my own flesh and of my own blood. Whoever gives them trouble, gives me trouble too; whoever makes them unhappy, makes me unhappy too, I am at war with those who are at war with them, I am at peace with those who are at peace with them. I am the enemy of those who are at enemy with them; I am the friend of those who befriend them. Indeed they are from me, and I am from them. Therefore, send Thy blessings, mercy, forgiveness, and pleasure upon me and upon them. Remove all blemish from them and keep away all kinds of impurity from them." Then Allah The Majestic and The Glorified, spoke to His AngelsThen The Archangel Jibrael, the Trusted One, asked Allah. "O Lord, who are these sitting covered under the Vestment?"Allah, The Majestic, The Glorified, answered, The Archangel Jibrael then requested, "O Lord, may I go down, and be the Sixth of Them?"Allah replied The Archangel Jibrael Al-Ameen, decended down to the Earth and said, "Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah. The All Highest conveys His peace on you and His salutation, and He has sworn by His Honour and Glory that He has not created, but the erected Sky, the spread Earth, the illuminated Moon, the bright Sun, the rotating Universe, the flowing Seas, and the sailing Ships but for your sake and your love. God has given me permission to enter and sit with all of you underneath the Vestment.. Do you also grant me that permission, O Prophet of Allah?" The Prophet replied, "And upon you be peace, O thou who art the Trusted with The Revelations of Allah; yes I grant you permission to enter." So The Archangel Jibrael entered and sat beneath the Vestment with us all, and said to my Father that indeed Allah has sent this revelation to you;"Verily Allah desires to keep away all blemish from you, O Ahlul-Bayt, and to purify you with a perfect purification."Then Ali(A.S.) asked my father, "O Prophet of Allah what significance does Allah attach to this Event of our sitting gathered together underneath this Vestment?" The Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) replied, "I swear by Him who appointed me a Prophet and chose me a confident Messenger, that no assembly, wherever this Event is narrated by our followers and devotees, shall remain without the Mercy of Allah decending on them, and encircling Angels as king Allah for the remission of their sins till the assembly has dispersed." Ali(A.S.) then exclaimed, "I swear by Allah the Lord of The Kaba, that we have all succeeded and our all followers have succeded too." Again The Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) said, "I swear by Him who appointed me a Prophet and chose me a confident Messenger that in any of the assemblies on the Earth, in which our followers and friends have gathered, wherever this Event is narrated there shall remain none grieved, but Allah will remove his grief ; there shall be none distressed, but Allah will dispell his distress, and there shall be none who seeks a wish, but Allah will grant his wish." Ali(A.S.) then said, "Verily, by Allah, We have succeeded and become happy so also all our followers have succeeded and become happy in this world as well as in the next world by the Lord of The Kaba. O Allah, send Thy Blessings on to Muhammad(S.A.W.) and The Descendents of Muhammad(S.A.W.)."
One day the Holy Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra(A.S.) was shown by her Father The Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) a very special kind of Prayer. That he himself was shown earlier by The Trusted Archangel Jibrael(A.S.).This special After-Prayer is to be said after each time, any Prayer of Worship is concluded.The Holy Lady(A.S) in turn began to teach the short Prayer to so many others. That in the very short time, it became to be known as the 'Prayer of Fatimah Al-Zahra(as)'.Take any kind of Prayer Bead string, such as shown on the image below. The Prayer String should have a total of 99 beads, with two dividers and ahead called the Sheikh.The Prayer Bead is taken by the left hand and with the index finger and tumb of the right hand draws each bead seperately one by one and saying the words as described below.For first set of 33 beads plus counting the first divider. Hence totalling in all 34 beads. For each bead passed say the clearly the words to yourself: ALLAHO AKBAR For each of the 34 beads seperately. For the next second set of 33 beads. For each bead passed say the clearly the words to yourself: AL-HAMDU LE ALLAH For each of the 33 beads seperately. For the third set of 33 beads For each bead passed say the clearly the words to yourself: SUBHANA LE ALLAH For each of the 33 beads seperately.Totally 100 beadsThat concludes the Prayer of the Holy Infallible Lady of all women, in all of the worlds and in all of the Seven Heavens, The Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra(A.S.)Most or if not all of the Mujtahideen express agreat Mustahab (preferable) as near to as Wajib (compulsory) to say this Prayer after any Prayer of Worship is concluded.Many Muslims carry with them at all times the Prayer Bead String so that they can recite this prayer numerously at any time of the day and night. Especially at times when one has nothing to do such as waiting or sitting around lazily.So think about it! What better way of filling your spare and idle time than to quietly recite this small Prayer to yourself in the rememberance and in thankfulness of Allah your Creator and Master. And in return Allah will reward His untold Thawaab and A'jar(reward)!Thus it is good to always recite, in One's idle times. For it keeps the mind away from straying into troubled terrain. But to keep it travelling on the true and right track of good and steer away from evil with its untold mischievoius wicked thoughts and ideas
