Ahlebayt (a.s) are exceptional - Noor:63

One who does goodness to us enjoys certain rights on us and we find its details in the lofty book famous as Resalat Al-Huqooq of our master Imam Sajjad (a.s):

وَأمّا حَقُّ ذِي المَعْرُوفِ عَلَيكَ فَأَنْ تَشْكُرَهُ وتَذْكُرَ مَعْرُوفَهُ وتَنْشُرَ لَهُ الْمَقَالَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ، وَتُخلِصَ لَهُ الدُّعَاءَ فِيمَا بَينَكَ وبَيْنَ اللَّهِ عز وجل ، فَإنّكَ إذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ شَكَرْتَهُ سِرًّا وَعَلانِيَةً. ثُمَّ إنْ قدرتعلى مكافأته يوماً كافأته

The right of him who does a kindly act (dhu l-ma'ruf) toward you is that you thank him and mention his kindness; you reward him with beautiful words and you supplicate for him sincerely in that which is between you and God. If you do that, you have thanked him secretly and openly. Then, if you are able to repay him one day, you repay him.

Indeed the Holy Prophet (sawa) and the Ahlul Bayt (a.s) are the biggest maroof while we see with our eyes how the nation treated this bounty and oppressed them. During the life time of the Holy Prophet (sawa) there were some ill-mannered people around him who used to call the Holy Prophet (sawa) by name "Oh Muhammad!" as if they considered the leader of the Prophets (a.s) as an ordinary person amongst themselves who had no position in society, that they addressed him (sawa) in such a disrespectful manner. Upon this Allah, Mighty and Majestic be He revealed the verse 63 of Surah Noor:

لَّا تَجْعَلُوا دُعَاءَ الرَّسُولِ بَيْنَكُمْ كَدُعَاءِ بَعْضِكُم بَعْضًا 

Do not make [your] calling of the Messenger among yourselves as the call of one of you to another.

After this declaration it was incumbent upon every individual to respectfully address the messenger (sawa) by saying "yaRasool Allah" and not call him by name. 

JanabeZehra (s.a) who used to address the messenger of Allah lovingly by calling out "YaAbata" after this order started calling him (sawa) as "YaRasool Allah". It is better we refer back to the words of JanabeSayyeda (s.a) in this regard:

القاضي أبو محمد الكرخي في كتابه عن الصادق (عليه السلام) قالت فاطمة (عليها السلام): لما نزلت: (لا تجعلوا دعاء الرسول بينكم كدعاء بعضكم بعضا) (١) [ر] هبت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) أن أقول له: يا أبة فكنت أقول: يا رسول الله فأعرض عني مرة أو اثنتين أو ثلاثا ثم أقبل علي فقال: يا فاطمة إنها لم تنزل فيك، ولا في أهلك ولا في نسلك، أنت مني وأنا منك إنما نزلت في أهل الجفاء والغلظة من قريش أصحاب البذخ والكبر قولي: يا أبة، فإنها أحيى للقلب، وأرضى للرب.

(BehaarulAnwaar volume 43 page 32-33)

Fatema (s.a) said: when the verse descended "Do not make [your] calling of the Messenger among yourselves as the call of one of you to another." I stopped calling the messenger (sawa) "yaAbata" and I said "YaRasool Allah", then the messenger objected once, twice or thrice then he (sawa) turned towards me and said "Oh Fatema (s.a), surely it has not revealed for you, neither for your family nor for your progeny, you are from me while I am from you, surely it has been revealed for the harsh people and the cruel ones and from the Quraish it is for the extravagant and the haughty ones. You continue to say "YaAbata" for surely you’re saying this enlivens my heart and satisfies Allah.

Indeed JanabeZehra (s.a) is exceptional, and in whatever way she addresses her father it is pleasing for him (sawa) and Allah, and her words are having an effect on the heart of the messenger of Allah (sawa) such that it enlivens his heart. And the life bestowing fragrance in her words refreshes the soul of the messenger of Allah.

And it is like this that Allah accounts exceptionally for JanabeZehra (s.a) and for her children and her progeny and He is satisfied in whatever way His messenger is addressed by them, and how refreshing it is for the messenger (sawa) to listen to these words of JanabeZehra (s.a) "YaAbata".

We fail to comprehend how disturbing it would have been to the pure heart of the messenger (sawa), the cry of lady Zehra (s.a) "YaAbata" when Zofor (l.a) pushed the burning door upon her which became a cause of the martyrdom of JanabeMohassin (a.s) and for Sayyedatunnisa al-alameen (a.s). We pray to Allah that he hastens the reappearance of Imame Zaman (atfs) so that this oppression is avenged at the earliest. Ameen!
