The Heavenly Lady; The Virtues of Fatimah al-Zahra (sa)

Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (sa) holds a unique and exalted position in the view of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the Ahl al-Bayt (as). Her virtues are clearly mentioned in authentic Shia and Sunni sources. Here are some well-known, well-documented examples:

1) Fatimah (sa) — The leader of the women of Paradise

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

“Fatimah is the leader of the women of Paradise.”

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Manaqib; Amali of Shaykh al-Saduq.

2) Her pleasure is God’s pleasure

The Messenger of God (pbuh) said:

“Indeed, God is angered by Fatimah’s anger and pleased with her pleasure.”

Source: Al-Mustadrak by al-Hakim al-Nishaburi, vol. 3; Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 43.

3) Fatimah (sa) — A part of the Prophet

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

“Fatimah is a part of me.”

Source: Sahih Muslim, Kitab Fada’il al-Sahabah; Musnad of Ahmad ibn Hanbal.

4) Her devotion in worship

Imam Hasan (as) said:

“My mother would stand in worship at night until her feet became swollen…”
