Here is some important information about Hazrat Fatima Zahra(s.a.):
Fatima(s.a.) The Radiant
========================
Imam Hasan Askari(a.s.) reported that his father quoted Jabir Ibn
Abdullah as saying : ' The Messenger of Allah, Peace be Upon him and
his cleansed progeny, said : ' When Allah created Adam and Eve, they
strutted through paradise and said : ' Who are better than we ? ' At
that moment they noticed an image of a girl like they had never seen
before; from this girl came an illuminating light so bright that it
almost blinded the eyes.
They said : ' O Lord, what is this ? ' He answered : ' This is the
Image of Fatima(s.a.), the mistress of your women descendants. '
Lisan Al Mizan Volume 3 page 346
Other names of Hazrat Fatima Zahra(s.a.):
=======================================
Az-Zahra: She was named by Allah(swt), as Az-Zahra because her Holy
Light used to shine among those brighter in all The Heavens.
Batool: Because of her absolute Purity attained from Paradise from The
Heavens. Also because, The Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra, is not like all the other
women in the world.
Siddiqah: The Honest, The Righteous
Al-Mubarakah: The Blessed One
Al-Tahirah: The Virtuous, The Pure
Al-Zakiyah: The Chaste, The Unblemished
Al-Radhiatul Mardhiah: She who is gratified and who shall be satisfied
Al-Muhaddathah: A person other than a Prophet, that the angels speak to
Al-Zahirah: The Luminous
The Holy Prophet(sawaw), her Father, loved her very much Whenever she
would go to the house of her father The Holy Prophet(sawaw) would
stand up out of respect to her. Whenever he greeted her he would honor
her by giving her a special place to seat herself in his house. Very
often Her Father(sawaw) would softly kiss her hands and say, "Allah,
The Most High; is pleased when Fatimah(a.s.) is pleased. He is
angered; whenever Fatimah is angered!"
He(sawaw) also said: "Fatima is part of me. Whoever angered her
angered me and whoever angered me angered Allah".
Probably the most important ayat revealed in Quran about the
sinlessness of her and the family of the Holy Prophet(sawaw) is the
following:
"...Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people
of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying" - Sura Ahzab
(33:33) translation by M.M.Shakir.
Her Birth
==========
A tradition in the book Amali from Sheikh Sadooq related through Imam Jafer Sadiq(a.s.)
states that Hazrat Fatima Zehra(s.a.) is the only women in the entire history who used to talk to
her mother (Hazrat Khadija(s.a.)) from inside the womb before her wiladat.
Sheikh Salman Hanafi writes in his book “Yanabi al-Mawadah” that at
the time of birth of Hazrat Fatima(s.a.), her mother Hazrat
Khadija(a.s.) called some women of Quraish for help but they all
refused because of her acceptance of Islam. Hazrat Khadija(a.s.) was
worried but in a little while four women came to her and after
salutation they said that she does not need to worry. They were her
sisters and Allah(swt) has sent them to her in this difficult time.
The first lady said that she was Sara, the wife of Hazrat
Ibrahim(a.s.). The second one said that she was Aasia binte Mazahim,
wife of Firoun. The third said that she was Maryam binte Imran, mother
of Hazrat Eisa(a.s.) and the fourth said that she was Kulsoom, the
sister of Hazrat Moosa(a.s).
Nasikh-ut-Tawarikh states that Hazrat Fatima Zehra(s.a.) was born on
20th Jamadi-us-Sani on Friday early morning. The was such a lightening
early morning that all houses of Makkah got lit up. Upon birth Hazrat
Fatima(s.a.) performed sajda and recited the Kalma.
'Her Prayer'
============
One day the Holy Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra(s.a.) was taught by her Father,
the Holy Prophet(sawaw), a very special kind of Prayer that he himself
was shown earlier by The Trusted Archangel Jibrael(a.s.).
This special After-Prayer is to be said after each time, any Prayer of
worship is concluded.
The Holy Lady(s.a.) in turn began to teach the short Prayer to so many
others that in the very short time, it became to be known as the
'Prayer of Fatimah Al-Zahra(s.a.).
The Prayer
==========
This prayer consists of recitation as follows:
34 times ALLAHO AKBAR
33 times AL-HAMDO LILLAH
33 times SUBHAN ALLAH
Most or if not all of the Mujtahideen express a great Mustahab
(preferable) as near to as Wajib (compulsory) to say this Prayer after
any Prayer of Worship is concluded.
