Calamities on Janab-e- Fatema Zehra(s.a)

Shahadat of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) was a very sad moment for Janabe Fatema Zehra(s.a) as she(s.a) was the only daughter of Holy Prophet(s.a.w.s) and was loved very much by her dear father. Wounds of the Shahadat of Holy Prophet(s.a.w.s) were still sore in the heart of Bibi Fatema Zehra (s.a) that another calamity befell  on her, Abu bakr became the self proclaimed caliph selected by the politics of some power lovers and usurped the right of Hazrat Ali(a.s) husband of Bibi Fatema Zehra (s.a). After becoming the caliph Abu bakr also usurped the garden of fidak which was gifted to Janabe Fatema Zehra(s.a) by her father during His(s.a.w.s) lifetime on the arguement that prophets do not leave any inheritance. First of all this argument is untrue because it is against Holy Quran.

"And H.Sulaiman (a.s) was the inheritor of H.Dawood(a.s)" (Surah Naml, verse 16)

"When H.Zakariya prayed to his Lord for a son he said "O Lord! Grant me Son who will inherit from me and inherit from the progeny of H.Yaqub" (Surah Maryam, Verse 6)

If Prophets do not leave any inheritance why was Prophet Dawood an inheritor for Prophet Sulaiman and Prophet Yahya an inheritor for Prophet Zakariya and Aale Yaqub. No tradition of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) can ever be contrary to Holy Quran and if there exist any it is fake and void.

Secondly Garden of Fidak was not part of inheritance because Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) during his lifetime gifted this to Lady Fatema (s.a) and gifts given in the lifetime are not the part of inheritance. But Abu bakr and Umar were trapped by Satan's vices they forcefully besieged the Garden of Fidak from Lady Fatema (s.a). This was second calamity that befell on Janabe Fatema Zehra (s.a) after the Shahadat of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s).

Third and final calamity was eventually the most heart breaking one which eventually led to the Shahadat of this auspicious personality Lady Fatema Zehra (s.a). Hazrat Ali (a.s) did not paid the allegiance to Abubakr, so Abubakr and Umar decided to take the allegiance forcefully from Hazrat Ali (a.s). Umar along with his companions carrying burnt wooden sticks went towards the house of Hazrat Ali (a.s) and asked Ali(a.s) to pay the allegiance to caliphate of Abubakr or they will burn the house. When Lady Fatema (s.a) refuted they burnt the door and Lady Fatema came in between the door and the wall which caused her ribs to broke and her unborn child Hazrat Mohsin was martyred inside her womb and this eventually led to the martyrdom of Lady Fatema Zehra (s.a). This incident is mentioned in the most authentic and oldest book of Islam "Kitab Sulaym Ibn Qays al-Hilali" and it has been narrated in many Sunni books like

Tareekh Abi Fida'a, Vol. 1, p.156, published by Daar-ul-Maarefat, Beirut 1404 AH. 

Al Oqd-ud-Fareed, vol. 5, p.13. published by Daar-ul-kutubul-Aalemiyaah, Beirut
  
                
 The threat of Umar to burn down the house of Hazrat Ali (a.s) 

Tareekh Tabari, vol. 2, p.223, published by Daar-ul-Kutubul-Aalemiyaah, Beirut 1408 AH

    Even in Sahih al-Bukhari we find that Lady Fatema Zehra (s.a) died when she was angry with Abu Bakr and she willed to Hazrat Ali (a.s) to take her funeral procession in night and the persons responsible for her attrocities should not be part of it.

   Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 546 :

    Narrated by 'Aisha

    "Fatima the daughter of the Prophet sent someone to Abu Bakr (when he was a caliph), asking for her inheritance of what Allah's Apostle had left of the property bestowed on him by Allah from the Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting) in Medina, and fadak, and what remained of the Khumus of the Khaibar booty. On that, Abu Bakr said, "Allah's Apostle said, "Our property is not inherited. Whatever we leave, is Sadaqa, but the family of (the Prophet) Muhammad can eat of this property.' By Allah, I will not make any change in the state of the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle and will leave it as it was during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, and will dispose of it as Allah's Apostle used to do." So Abu Bakr refused to give anything of that to Fatima.
So she became angry with Abu Bakr and kept away from him, and did not task to him till she died. She remained alive for six months after the death of the Prophet. When she died, her husband 'Ali, buried her at night without informing Abu Bakr and he said the funeral prayer by himself. When Fatima was alive, the people used to respect 'Ali much, but after her death, 'Ali noticed a change in the people's attitude towards him. So Ali sought reconciliation with Abu Bakr and gave him an oath of allegiance."

  In Sahih Bukhari we also find this ahadith from Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s)

  Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 57, Number 61 :

    Narrated by Al-Miswar bin Makhrama

   Allah's Apostle said, "Fatima is a part of me, and he who makes her angry, makes me angry."

 What we concluded from these two traditions is one who makes Lady Fatema angry infact makes Prophet angry, Thus Abu bakr and Umar by their actions made Janabe Fatema Zehra angry which eventually led to the anger of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) and anything that angers Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) will certainly anger Allah. And if anyone angers Allah then it will result in his destruction and annihilation. Allah says in the Holy Quran

"The one on whom My Anger descends will be destroyed". (Surah Taha; verse 81)

Janab-e-Fatema Zehra (s.a) eventually passed away on 3rd Jamaadi-ul-Aakhir 11 Hijri, we give our pursa to her son Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s) and pray for his(a.s) reappearance. O the greatest lady Fatema Zehra (s.a) make your intercession reach us on the Day of Judgement.
