The Messenger of God (s) said, “I will ask God to take care of
you in this regard.”28
3. The Prophet of God (s) said, “I lay in her grave in order to ease
the strains of her grave and I dressed her in my garment so that
she might wear the heavenly garment.”29
4. After burying Fatima Bint Asad (a), the Prophet of Islam (s)
said, “The angels were everywhere in the horizon, opening the
door of Heaven to Fatima and rolling out the heavenly carpets
for her. The heavenly ladies rushed to meet her. Now she is
showered with happiness, bounty and heavenly blessings, and
her grave is a heavenly garden.”30
5. The Prophet of Islam (s) said, “The Archangel Gabriel
informed me she is a dweller of Heaven and God has
commanded seventy thousand angels to pray for her.”31
In addition to the Prophet’s high regard for her, great Muslim scholars
and thinkers have also praised her in terms of her gnosis, morals, faith,
and spirituality:
a. Abdullah ibn Abbas: “She was the first woman who migrated
from Mecca to Medina in bare feet. In addition, she was the
first woman who, after Lady Khadija (a), pledged allegiance to
the Prophet of Islam (s).”32
b. Zahri: “The Holy Prophet (s) used to visit her and stay at her
house. She was a praiseworthy lady.”33
c. Jamal al-Din Abul-Faraj Abd-u-Rahman ibn al-Jowzi: “She
was a righout woman who wholeheartedly embraced Islam.”34
