 In the name of God, the most beneficent, the most merciful, praise be to Him, the Sustainer, the Creator of mankind. I begin in His name. I begin in the name of Allah. And I send my peace and blessings upon Muhammad and his holy progeny. And I send my condolences to the Imam of my time, may Allah hasten the reappearance of my master, al-Mahdi al-Muntadar. We took a journey. And you are still with me on my journey, insha'Allah. This journey through time, we narrated to you some fadail of the names of Fatima al-Zahraa. We narrated to you the meanings of the names that Fatima al-Zahraa, peace be upon her, carries. We narrated to you that no matter how much we keep narrating about the fadail of Fatima al-Zahraa, we will never reach a full cognizant understanding of Fatima al-Zahraa, peace be upon her. But we will keep narrating to you. So that the moseleeb, the tragedy when you hear it, and I'm repeating, I know I'm repeating, when you hear the tragedy, it will affect you even more. You see, there are many manaqab I can narrate to you about Fatima al-Zahraa. And I promise to you that I will narrate to you two manaqab, two reports. The first report is concerning the testimony of Adam, our father, peace be upon him, and what he saw of the radiance and light of Fatima al-Zahraa. And the second report will show you the maqam and the status of Fatima al-Zahraa in the eyes of Amir al-Mu'mineen, the commander of the faithful, peace be upon him. We will start with the first report. And insha'Allah, we will continue on and see how much time we have to narrate to you the second report. This report is recorded by Ibn Khulawai in his book, Kitab al-Aal. The isnad of this report, since the isnad is very short and it is narrated from Imam al-Hasan peace be upon him. The isnad is not very long. The chain of transmission is very short. From Abdullah ibn al-Halabi, from Muhammad ibn Ahmed ibn Qudaha, from Abdullah ibn Muhammad, from Abu Muhammad al-Hasan al-Asqari, al-Hasan al-Asqari, from his father, Imam al-Hadi. Imam al-Hadi, from his father, from his forefathers all the way to the commander of the faithful, peace be upon him, from Rasulullah, peace be upon him and his holy family. Four narrators to a holy Imam. It is hard to find a mat'ana. It is hard to find error in this isnad. From al-Hasan al-Asqari, all the way to Rasulullah, the apostle of Allah, peace be upon him and his holy family. The isnad, the chain of transmission is golden. Some of the sources that have recorded this tradition. I always provide my sources and I always liked to give my viewers the actual nas. That is why I always read the nas so that I may not narrate to you a summary of the narration. Reading the nas in its entirety provides you a closeness, provides you an even closeness to the hadith. You will find this hadith in Kashf al-Ghamma, volume 1, page 456. And again, Biharul Anwar, volume 43, the volume that Allama al-Majlisi has compiled for the sake of Fatima. Volume 43, page 52, and also you will find it in al-Muhtadar or also Qad Muhtasar Basar al-Darajat of al-Hasan ibn Sulaiman al-Hilli, page 232. Pay close attention to this hadith. This hadith is very beautiful. The hadith by Rasulullah, peace be upon him and his holy family says, When Allah created Adam and the hadith of Tabaqtarab el-Jannah, he says, When Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, created Adam and the hadith, they began walking in paradise in a very proud fashion. Imagine two people walking and they were very pride in what Allah has bestowed upon them. Of course, at that time around them, there is nobody, there is nobody but them. Of course, Adam, peace be upon him, knows there is a creation out there. Adam then says, Adam says to Hawa He says, Allah has not fashioned a creation better than us. Adam says this, but Adam is a ma'soom and he knows this knowledge. The scholars, the jurists say this is almost like an enactment. See, if Adam did not utter these words, then Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, would not have told Jibra'il to go to Adam and take him so that this image may be received by us. The same way when Ibrahim, peace be upon him, in the Quran came and said, Al-Qamarurabbi wa Shamsurabbi wal-Nujumurabbi, the sun and the moon and the stars are, my Lord, he is giving them an expression, Majazi, a storyline, telling them everything that you see in this creation is my Rabb. The same thing here, a lot of times the hadith that we have are almost like a play, a play set forth by the infallible Prophet or the Imam and this play merely is so that this picture can be received by us. So after Adam said to Hawwad that Allah has not fashioned a creation greater than ours, Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, revealed Jibra'il. He said to Jibra'il, Atee bi-Abdi l-Firdous al-A'la. He tazim, ya Jibra'il, my archangel Gabriel, peace be upon him. Bring Adam towards the Firdous al-A'la so that I may show him. There is a creation that I have created that is far greater than you, O Adam. He says, Wa'indama dakhala Adam, Al-Firdous al-A'la, Ra'a jariah, Wa'ala r'asihah, Tajun min-Nur, Wa fi'udunaiha qurtani min-Nur, Wajhuha yata la'ala. Adam has painted for you a picture of Lady Fatima, peace be upon her. Let me read you the exact words of Adam. When Adam entered the highest level of paradise, Prophet Adam had laid his eyes on a young lady, a young maiden in the prime of her youth. She was covered in a veil that covered her from top to bottom. The material of the veil was of the heavens. She was sitting on a platform and on her head a crown made of light and on her ears two earrings shining made of light and the nur from her face filled the entirety of the heavens. Adam, alayhi salam, says her nur filled the jinnah, jam'ah, the plural form of paradise. How many and how big is paradise that the nur of this young maiden fills the entirety of Allah's paradise with light. Adam, peace be upon him, our father Adam, goes to Gabriel and tells him, Habibi Jibrail, man haidihi l-jaria. Who is this? He goes to Gabriel, he goes to the archangel, Gabriel and he tells them, my love, my beloved Gabriel, who is this maiden? Who is this maiden that from her the light has filled the heavens? Gabriel tells Adam, he says, this is Fatima, bintu Muhammad, the daughter of the prophets from your progeny who will be sent forth in the last of the eras. Adam has laid eyes upon this transcendent being, this hawra in sea, a creation of the heavens sent down on earth. Then he says, YAH JIBRAIL, WAMAHADATTAJALLADI ALA RAISIHA, JIBRAIL says, answering the question of Adam, what is this crown that is on her head? He says, this is her husband, Ali ibn Abi Talib. What are the earrings? Two earrings in her eyes shining with light. He says, these two earrings are her sons Al-Hasan and Al-Hussain. Adam, alaihi salam, asks a question. He says, oh Gabriel, have they been created? Before me, Jibrail says, they are alive, already created in Allah's vast knowledge, created 40,000 years ago. And this is when the poet begins to write. A poet by the name of Saim Chisti or Kisti in a book titled Al-Batul, page 356, 357, begins to narrate a piece of poetry that has been written from the tongue of Adam. From the house of Fatima is divine will-yat authority. From the house of Fatima is leadership, Imamah. From the house of Fatima is Shahadah, martyrdom. From the house of Fatima is fidelity, Sadaqat. From the house of Fatima is good fortune, Saadah. From the house of Fatima is valor, Shaja'at. From the house of Fatima is guidance, Hidayat. From the house of Fatima is dominion, Siyadah. From the house of Fatima is nobleness, asalat. From the house of Fatima is vice regency, niyabat. From the house of Fatima is munificence, karamat. From the house of Fatima is compassion, rahmat. From the house of Fatima is comfort, rahat. from the house of Fatima is intercession. Shafa'at from the house of Fatima is paradise. Jannat from the house of Fatima is prophecy. Nabuwat from the house of Fatima is the message. Resalat. Fatima tuz-zahra'i, peace be upon her, embodies all of these characteristics and more. And this is what Adam, peace be upon him, saw in the upper heavens. And this is all the time we have for you today. And insha'Allah the next hadith will be in a different episode. Now that you have a closer understanding of who Fatima tuz-zahra'i, peace be upon her is, look at the status of Fatima and think of the door and the nail. Peace be upon you, my lady Fatima. And may Allah hasten the reappearance of Imamul Mahdi, peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and blessings.
