LADY FATIMA ZAHRA (A) ON THE LAST DAY

On the Day when the oppressed shall bite their hands (in fear); when the oppressors shall be gathered in humiliation and lowliness, remembering their disgraceful and shameful deeds: 

Then every one of them shall review his file, which is packed with oppression against his chosen worshippers. On that Day shall every human, whatever color, creed, faith, and his deeds may be shall be gathered... no one will be left behind... even the fetus who was the victim of abortion shall come that Day to present his case... 

Then the great personality of Lady Zahra (A) shall become manifest to every soul... 

Following are several narrations reported by Ahlul-Bayt (A) regarding Fatima (A) on the Last Day: 
 

1. Hakim reported in Al-Mustadrak v.2, p.153 that Ali (S) said: 
 

"I heard the Prophet say:

 

"On the Day of Rising, a caller shall announce from beyond the veil: "O gathered people, lower your eyes so that Fatima, the Daughter of Muhammad, may pass."
 

This narration has also been reported by: 

Ibn Al-Athir in Usd al-Ghaba v.5, p.523; 

Ganji Shafiee in Kifayat At-Talib p. 212; 

Dhahabi in Mizan al-Etedal v.2, p.18; and by 

Hamwini in Yanabi' al-Mawaddah p.104, who added the following to it: 
 

Ali (A) reported that the Prophet said: 

 

"On the Day of Rising, a caller shall call from the sole of the Throne:

 

"O people of Resurrection, cast your eyes down, so that Fatima Bint Muhammad may pass-while holding Al-Hussain's shirt, which will (still) be saturated with blood.' She will then embrace the leg of the Throne and say:

 

"O (Allah), You are the Omnipotent and Just; pass the judgment between me and those who killed my son." (The Prophet (S) added): "Then He shall judge according to my Sunnah, by the Lord of Kaaba, Fatima will then say:

 

"O Allah! grant me intercedence for everyone who cried for his disaster; Allah will then grant her intercedence for them."
 

2. Abu Nu'aym in Dala'el al-Nobowwah, Ibn Hajar in al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah, and others have reported that Abu Ayuoub Ansari said: 

 

"The Messenger of Allah said: A caller shall call from the sole of the Throne: O gathered people, lower your heads and cast your eyes down so that Fatima Bint Muhammad may pass on the Path. ' He added: `She then passes accompanied by seventy thousand Huri Al-Een, as if they were a flashing light."
 

3. Many Sunni Scholars have reported that Allah's Messenger stated that Lady Fatima Zahra shall arrive at the gathering place (while) riding Ghadha' or Gusua female camel. 
 

4. Jaber Ibn Abdullah Ansari said: 

 

"I said to Abu Ja'far (Al-Baqir (A)): `May I be your sacrifice son of Allah's Messenger; narrate to me a hadith in regard to the noble traits of your grandmother Fatima, so that if I report it to your Shiites (followers), they would rejoice at (hearing) it!'

Abu Ja'far (A) said: `My father told me that my grandfather reported that Allah's Messenger said:

 

"On the Day of Rising, Minbars of light shall be erected for the prophets and messengers, of which my Minbar shall be the highest among all Minbars on that day. Allah will then say: Deliver a speech,' so I will deliver a speech that none of the prophets or messengers have ever heard. Then for the successors (of prophets) shall be erected Minbars of light, and in the middle of these Minbars one shall be erected for my successor, Ali Ibn Abu Talib, which will be higher than all their Minbars. Allah will then say:

 

"Ali, deliver a speech.' So he will deliver a speech like no successor has ever heard before. Then for the children of the prophets and messengers shall be erected Minbars of light; among them shall be a Minber of light for my two sons, grandsons and the two flowers of my life (Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain). Then it shall be said to them: "Deliver speeches." So they will deliver two speeches like none of the children of the prophets and messengers have ever heard before!

 

"A caller-Gabriel-shall then call:

 

`Where is Fatima Bint Muhammad?' 

 

She (A) will rise..." (until he said):

'Allah, the blessed and exalted is His Name, shall say:

`O people of the gathering; to whom does honor belong today?'

So Muhammad, Ali, Hassan and Al-Hussain (A) will say:

'To Allah, The one, The Almighty

'Allah the Exalted will say:

 

"O people of the gathering: lower your heads and cast your eyes down, for this is Fatima proceeding towards Paradise.' Gabriel shall then bring her a female camel from the female camels of Paradise; its sides shall be embellished, its muzzle with fresh pearls, and it shall have a saddle of coral. It shall kneel down in her presence; so she will ride it. Allah will then send 100, 000 angels to accompany her on her right side; and 100, 000 angels to accompany her on her left side; and 100, 000 angels to lift her onto their wings until they bring her to the gate of Paradise. When she is near the gate of Paradise, she will look to her side. Allah will then say:

 

"Daughter of My beloved, why did you look to your side after I gave the command that you enter my Paradise?"
 

She will say: "My Lord, I wished that my position would be realized on such a Day!"

 

Allah will say: 

"Daughter of My beloved!

 

Go back and look for everyone in whose heart was love for you or for any of your progeny; take their hand and lead them into paradise!"

 

Abu Ja'far (A) said: "By Allah; Jabir, she will pick her Shiites (followers) and those who love her just like a bird picks good seeds from bad seeds. So that when her Shiites are near the gate of Paradise, Allah will inspire their hearts to look to their sides; when they do--- Allah, The Almighty, will say:

 

My beloved ones, why did you look around when Fatima, the daughter of my beloved one, interceded for you?'

 

They will answer: `Our Lord! We hoped that our position would be known on such a day!'

 

Allah will then say: `My beloved ones, go back and look for everyone who loved you for your love for Fatima;

 

Look for everyone who fed you for the love of Fatima;

Look for everyone who clothed you for the love of Fatima;

Look for everyone who gave you a drink for the love of Fatima;

Look for everyone who prevented (Gheeba) backbiting from being done against you for the love of Fatima...

 

Take their hands and lead them into Paradise... "'
 

5. Ibn Abbas said: "I heard Amir Al-Mo'mineen, Ali (A) say:

 

Once the Messenger of Allah entered the house of Fatima and found her in a sad mood. So he said: `What has made you sad daughter?'

 

Fatima replied: `Father, I remembered the gathering (Day), and people standing naked on the Day of Resurrection!'

 

He said: Daughter, surely it will be a great Day. But Gabriel informed me that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said that the first one upon whom the ground shall be split opened is me, then your husband, Ali Ibn Abu Talib (A); then Allah shall send Gabriel accompanied by seventy thousand angels and he will erect on your grave seven domes of light, after which Israfil will bring you three garments of light and stand by your head and say to you:

 

"O Fatima Bint Muhammad, rise towards your gathering place."

"You (Fatima) shall then rise secure from fear and veiled (in privacy). Israfil will hand you the garments and you will wear them. Rafael will then bring you a female camel of light; its muzzle shall be made of fresh pearls and on it shall be a howdan of gold. You will ride it and Rafael shall lead it by its muzzle while seventy thousand angels holding the banners of glorification accompany you.

 

When the caravan hurries with you, seventy thousand Huris shall receive you rejoicing at seeing you; while every one of them will be holding a censer of light from which the fragrance of incense is spread without fire. They shall be wearing crowns of jewels embellished with green chrysolites."

 

6. Bihar v.10, on the authority of Amali (by Saduq) reports that Imam Baqir (A) said: 

 

"I heard Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari say: Allah's Messenger said: "On the Day of Rising, My daughter, Fatima, shall arrive riding a female camel from among the camels of Paradise-to her right shall be seventy thousand angels and to her left shall also be seventy thousand angels; Gabriel will be holding its muzzle and calling with the loudest of voices: `Cast down your eyes so that Fatima Bint Muhammad may pass!"

 

"Then shall no prophet, messenger, truthful one, or martyr remain without casting their eyes down until Fatima passes... Then a call shall come from the side of Allah, the Exalted:

 

My beloved one and the daughter of my beloved one; ask Us and you shall be given (whatever you wish), and intercede, your intercedence shall be accepted. By my Honor and Exaltation, the oppression of no oppressor shall pass My (judgement) today.

 

She (Fatima) will then say: 

 

"O Allah, My Master;

 

My progeny, My Shiites (followers), the Shiites of my progeny, those who love me and those who love my progeny."
 

She will then hear a call from Allah's side, may His Name be exalted: 

 

"Where are Fatima's progeny, her Shiites, those who love her, and those who love her progeny?" They will then come forward, surrounded by angels of mercy, and Fatima will lead them into Paradise."
