 السلام عليكم my dear respected and dearest peace be upon you I stand in Karbala I stand in the land of Abu Abdullah al-Hussain peace be upon him and the land of Fadr al-Abbas peace be upon him I stand between the Haramain I stand in between the two paradises Jannat al-Hussain and Jannat al-Abbas peace be upon him Tonight we're going to go and explore another one of the holy sites holy maqams in Karbala and we're going to go look at the Maqam of Sheer Fadr the line of Fadr the Khadimah of Fatima al-Zahra as you can see I'm in between the Haramain and the alleyway we're going to go through is this way we're going to go see the Maqam and talk about the Maqam and talk about the history behind the Maqam and talk about the servant of Fatima al-Zahra Lady Fadr now with me we're going to go walk towards the Maqam of Fadr a servant of Fatima al-Zahra peace be upon her she was called a servant of Fatima and this name is a name which we all yearn to have her name Fatima means silver but being a servant of Fatima al-Zahra is something even greater here we are now at the Maqam of Fadr as I stated before Fadr in English translates to silver silver is precious and is used all over the world but Sayyid al-Fadr has a name even greater than that of silver her name her name is known in the books of history in the books of hadith on the pulpits on the menabr by the scholars by the علماء as Khadimah al-Zahra the servant of Fatima al-Zahra now being given the name of Khadimah al-Zahra is the greatest one can have the greatest Maqam one can have the greatest status one can have and Fadr is known by this Maqam by this name Khadimah al-Fatima al-Zahra peace be upon her it is narrated by al-Hafod in his book مشارقي أنوار اليقين في أسراري أمير المؤمنين on page 126 of his book he narrates an incident that Fudda was given to Rasool Allah peace be upon him and his family as a gift to Fatima al-Zahra to help her in the house to help her with cooking, with cleaning it is narrated that Fudda used to be one of the daughters of the people one of the daughters of the kings from Al-Hind there is another tradition that states that she was from the Habashi family but there is a difference here there is a tradition that states that she was from the daughters of the people from Hind it is narrated by Fudda herself that when she entered the house of revelation when she entered the house of the the house of divine wisdom the house of eloquence the house of Rasool Allah peace be upon him she noticed only a sword a shield and some copper now Fudda coming from Hind she had a background science of chemistry and alchemy she was known in this knowledge and in this pathway of science Fudda took a piece of copper she changed its structure she poured an alexar or some kind of medicine on this on this copper she shaped it in the shape of a fish and she furnished it with gold when Amira al-Mu'mineen and Muala al-Mu'mahadeen the commander of the faithful came she gave and she presented this to Fudda sorry Fudda presented this to Amira al-Mu'mineen when she presented it to Amira al-Mu'mineen Amira al-Mu'mineen said good work of Fudda but if you are to take this and shape it in this matter and increase its mass then it will be worth more and the gold in it would be worth more Fudda was amazed at this Amira al-Mu'mineen do you know this? do you have this knowledge of alchemy of chemistry? this shows us that Amira al-Mu'mineen the commander of the faithful peace be upon him had knowledge of chemistry had knowledge of alchemy and he had knowledge of the life sciences and the physical sciences and science itself Amira al-Mu'mineen said yes we have knowledge of this and we have knowledge even greater and even my son here a child knows of this knowledge and knows of this science henceforth after that we know that Fudda is well versed in the science of alchemy and she is well versed in the Qur'an itself the historians tell us that Fudda every time she would be asked a question for 20 years she would only reply with the Qur'an this is narrated in Bihar al-Anwar you can find this tradition in Bihar al-Anwar it is narrated in Bihar al-Anwar volume 43 page 86 & 87 that a man saw Fudda walking in the desert in her caravan she said who are you where are you from only replied by using what by using the Qur'an she said and say Salam for they shall know soon from the Qur'an chapter 43 & verse 89 the whole conversation with Fudda and with the man happened in the Qur'an and at the end you can see that Fudda has a high مقام she has a very high مقام that she was able to respond throughout the whole conversation using the whole Qur'an now we are going to go right now and speak more of this holy مقام and tell you the story behind it now that you know how an excellent person Fudda was she was a scholar of her time so we spoke about Fudda about her background about her character in general now we are going to talk to you about the holy مقام that is behind me here this مقام before it was like this as you can see with the metal window and mosaic used to be a خريبة a ruins before during the time of Saddam Saddam didn't give chance and for the Khuddam and for the lovers to build the مقام like this before the fall of the regime of Saddam Saddam did not give time for the people to build these holy مقام and to visit so it is narrated by the residents of this area here these dear residents of this area that after the fall of Saddam in 2003 they built this مقام as you can see today this beautiful مقام and this مقام has a lot of history a lot of history you see Fudda stayed with Fatima Al-Zahra and she witnessed Fatima Al-Zahra between the door and the nail when Omar ibn Al-Khattab told his his slave Qunfo to attack the house of Fatima so Sayyid Al-Fudda witnessed the whole tragedy of Fatima Al-Zahra after Fatima Al-Zahra Sayyid Al-Fudda stayed with Sayyid Al-Zahra when Imam Al-Hussain peace be upon him went to Karbala and with him he took his family his companions Fudda peace be upon her accompanied Imam Al-Hussain towards Karbala so Fudda witnessed the tragedy of Al-Taf the Fajia of Karbala it is narrated by the books of Hadith that when Imam Al-Hussain was martyred and killed and the companions were all killed Omar ibn Sa'ad ordered his horsemen to trample on the body of Imam Al-Hussain peace be upon him now Fudda came to Sayyid Al-Zaynab and she told her in this area here somewhere around this area there is palm trees and woods and gardens in this area there lives a lion in this lion I wanted to go ask him to come and help us so that the horses do not trample the holy body of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussain peace be upon him so Sayyid Al-Fudda went towards this lion which is narrated to be around this maqam right here where Fudda met the lion she said يا أبا حارث was the kuniya of the lion she said do you know what they are going to do to the body of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussain she said do you know what they are going to do to the body of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussain they are going to trample his body with their horses so the lion quickly jumped and went and placed his hands around Imam Al-Hussain peace be upon him and this story here is where this happened this mashhad here which is called the maqam of Fudda is where Fudda Al-Hussain stood and called the lion and where she witnessed the lion go to Imam Al-Hussain's body so this is the maqam here where Fudda the servant of Fatima Tezzara stood and called the lion to go and protect the body of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussain peace be upon him going this way if we leave taking this alley way all the way down as you saw in the beginning we were where we were between the haramain and Imam Al-Hussain peace be upon him would be that way in front of me so the lion jumped from this area and went all the way towards the body of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussain peace be upon him so if we follow the alley way going towards here we will get to Bain Al-Haramain so you can see the distance from here to Imam Al-Hussain peace be upon him is about a 500 to 600 meter distance and that is the mashhad here Fudda peace be upon him stood here and this area here is the maqam and there is a prayer location on the other side where Zawar come and visit and as you can see there is also a picture of the Fajr and the tragedy that happened a picture of Fudda a picture of the Asad and the picture of the shrine of Imam Al-Hussain peace be upon him so this is what happened on this ground on the day of Aashura on the 11th night of Muharram on the 11th night here on these grounds is where Fudda stood and is where Fudda called upon the lion the Asad to come and protect the body of Imam Al-Hussain peace be upon him and this is the story behind this Holy Maqam this Holy Maqam where Fudda stood and called the lion to protect the body of Sayyid al-Shuhada peace be upon him and this is the story of Sayyid al-Fudda and this my dear viewers is the end of this episode and of this Maqam here of Shir Fudda والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
