Ahmad ibn Mihran, may Allah grant him blessing, has narrated from narrated in a in a marfu' manner and Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Jabbar al-Shaybani has said
that narrated to me al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Razi who has said that narrated to him Ali ibn Muhammad al-Hurmuzi from abu 'Abdallah al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s.) who has said the
following.
"When Fatima (a.s.) passed away Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (a.s.) buried her secretly, camouflaged her grave site he then stood up facing the grave of the Messenger of Allah said, "O the
Messenger of Allah may He grant you blessings on behalf of me the on behalf of your daughter who is visiting you and will pass this night in the soil in your location whom Allah chose to make
join you the fastest.
O the Messenger of Allah of my patience has reached to the brims and I miss so much your chosen one (daughter) and my self-control is banished for the departure of the leader of the ladies
of the worlds. The only solace for me is to follow your tradition and be mournful for your own departure from us. A little while ago I placed you in your grave and your spirit left your body
between my own throat and chest.
Yes, in the book of Allah (for me) there is the best form to express acceptance of Allah's decision ""We are the servants of God and to Him we shall all return." (2:156) The trust is
returned and the commit is recalled amd al-Zahra' is taken away from us. How sad, O the Messenger of Allah, the green skies and the dusty earth seem to us. My sadness has become perpetual and my
night have become sleepless. There is an anxiety that will not relieve my heart until Allah will chose for me the dwelling like that where you are.
I have a heart bleeding sorrow and a restless anxiety. How quickly the separation took place? To Allah I raise my complains and your own daughter will explain to you how your 'Umma
(followers) succeeded in committing injustice against her. You may ask her questions and find information about the case from her.
How great was the sorrow that she will find a place and an ear to express to. She would say Allah will judge because he is the best judge. I offer my prayer to Allah to grant you blessings
as a note of farewell but not because of disappointment and despaired. If I return it is not that I have become tired and if I will stand up it will not be because of pessimism in the promise of
Allah to those who exercise patience. Indeed to exercise patience is more safe and fruitful.
Had not been for the mischief of the enemies I would have turned the place a place of worship andd would have kept my worship continuous and would cried like the mothers for the death of
their son for the great loss. In the sight of Allah your daughter is buried secretly, her rights are taken away unjustly, her inheritance is withheld for no valid reason.
It all has happen just after you left and your memories are still fresh. To Allah O the Messenger of Allah we complain and from youu O the Messenger of Allah we seek condolences. May Allah
grant blessings to you and to her. May the peace and happiness of Allah be with you."

abu 'Abdallah (a.s.), "Who washed Fatima (for burial)?" he said, "Amir al- Mu'minin Ali (a.s.) did." My impression from his words seemed to be an extraordinary one. He said, "You seem to be
constrained from what I said."
The narrator has said that I replied, "Yes, May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, it is so." The narrator has said that the Imam (a.s.) then said, "Do not be constrained. She
was the all truism person and no one has the authority to wash an all truism person but another all truism person. Did you not know that no one could wash Mary but Jesus."

anything it is all for Fatima and her sons but if Fatima would have anything then there is nothing in it for 'Umm Ayman. She (Fatima) then took out from the tray food for her and 'Umm Ayman ate
but the food from the tray banished.
The Holy Prophet (s.a) said, "Had you not fed her (a non-infallible) from it you and your descendants would have had food from it up to the Day of Judgment." Abu Ja'far (a.s.) then said,
