Hazrat Fatima's House Attacked
In compliance with God's
command Baligh maa onzila ilaik-' (5:67) the Holy
Prophet had inaugurated the serial of Irnamate'
(Divine guidance in succession to the Final apostleship) and had placed Au as
the First in charge of it, and had declared it at the historic ceremonial event
at Ghadeer-e-Khum, before the multitude of the
thousands of the Hajies, on x8. 12.10 A.H. at the
conclusion of which event was revealed 5:6... declaring
the religion to be perfect and Islam to be the religion for man, accepted by
God. In pursuance of the expressed divine will of the Lord, Au could not
recognize or yield to the man-made authority set up at the Saqeefa'
and hence had not paid fealty to it.
Ali to exercise patience
The holy Prophet who knew through the divine gift of knowledge, as to what
would happen after him till the Day of Judgment, had advised Ali to exercise
the maximum possible patience against every atrocious move that might confront
him. In compliance with the apostolic will, without the least interference
into, or any concern with the affairs that proceeded at the Saqeefa',
Ali had retired with a determination not to get out until he collects together
all the notes on the Holy Qur'an which he had from
the Holy Prophet about the external as well as the internal meanings of the
Final Word of God.
Without Ali being subjugated, the authority set up at the Saqeefa'
could not have the seal of the recognition of it, by the Holy Ahul-Bait and Ali was now the Chief of the Ahlul-Bait, the House of the Holy Prophet, and he would not
yield. The retirement of Ali was exploited and a charge of conspiracy was
coined and the people of the newly set up rule, headed by Omar, collected at
the door of Fatema, demanded Au to come out of the
house. The reply from inside was that it was a vow Au had made not to come out
until the collection of the important notes on the Holy Qur'an
is not completed. But the insurgent crowd would not agree and a big row was set
into action.
Fatema's house threatened with fire
The Holy Lady Fatema, bereaved only a day or two
before, deeply sunk in grief; standing behind the door of her abode
remonstrated saying:
"O' people! it is only yesterday that my father, the holy Prophet,
departed from you and today you have the audacity to attack his house in which
his daughter is mourning for him, which door he did not enter but with a
salutation on its inmates".
Some historians say that fire and firewood was already- collected at the door
of the holy house with the threat to set the abode on fire and some say fire
was already kindled. However, Shibli No'mani in his well-known Alfarooq'
says: - "Some say that fire was already set, but with the short
temperedness of Omar this act was not improbable". (AF)
Fatema wounded
A violent kick at the door from one among the crowd pushed it down on the side
of the Holy Lady Fatema standing behind it, breaking
her rib and the Khatoone Jannat'
the Queen of Paradise, fell unconscious and ultimately the hit and the wound
killed the Holy Mother along with the baby son in her womb. According to the
tradition of the Ahlul-Bait, the Baby was already
named Mohsin.
