On the Day of Judgement, some people would be biting their hands
(in fear), others would be gathered in humiliation and lowliness, remembering
their disgraceful and shameful deeds. But, the shias of Ahle Bait (a.s.) would
be in a completely different situation.
Every one on that day would receive his list of deeds. All humans,
irrespective of color, creed, faith, and
his deeds shall be gathered, no one will be left behind. Allah has defined the
condition and fear of the people as thus :
يوم
يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ وَصَاحِبَتِهِ
وَبَنِيهِ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
And I ask You for protection on the day when a man shall flee from his brother, and his mother, his father, his spouse, and his children, each one of them on that day will have a concern which will occupy him. (Quran 80:34-37)
Nobody would be ready to help on that day. In contrast to their
behaviour in this world, children will run from their parents and parents will
run from their children, spouses would avoid each other, friends would not
allocate time. On the contrary, the personablity which will take care of her
shias is the great personality of Janabe Zehra (sa)
Let us have a look at the
position of Janabe Zehra (a.s.) as can be understood from the traditions :
1.
Hakim reported in Al-Mustadrak v.2, p.153
that ‘Ali (a.s.) said: "I heard the Prophet say: "On the Day of
Rising, a caller shall announce from beyond the veil: "O gathered people,
lower your eyes so that Fatima (sa), the Daughter of Muhammad, may pass."
2.
Hamwini in Yanabi' al-Mawaddah p.104, who
added the following to it: ‘Ali (a.s.) reported that the Prophet (S) said: "On
the Day of Rising, a caller shall call from the sole of the Throne: O people of
Resurrection, cast your eyes down, so that Fatima (sa)Bint Muhammad may
pass-while holding Al-Husayn's shirt, which will (still) be saturated with
blood.' She will then embrace the leg of the Throne, and say: O (Allah), You
are the Omnipotent and Just; pass the judgment between me and those who killed
my son." (The Prophet (S) added): "Then He shall judge according to
my Sunnah, by the Lord of Kaaba, Fatima (sa) will then say: O Allah! Grant me
intercession for everyone who cried for his disaster; Allah will then grant her
intercession for them."
3.
Abu Nu'aym in Dala'el
al-Nobowwah, Ibn Hajar in al-Sawa'iq al-Muhriqah, and others have reported that
Abu Ayuoub Ansari said: "The Messenger of Allah (S) said that a caller
shall call from the sole of the Throne: O gathered people, lower your heads and
cast your eyes down so that Fatima (sa)Bint Muhammad may pass on the Path.' He added:
`She then passes accompanied by seventy thousand Huri Al-Een, as if they were a
flashing light."
4.
Jaber Ibn Abdullah Ansari said: "I said
to Abu Ja'far (Imam Al-Baqir (a.s.)): `May I be your sacrifice son of Allah's
Messenger; narrate to me a hadith in regard to the noble traits of your
grandmother Fatima az-Zahra (sa), so that if I report it to your Shiites
(followers), they would rejoice at (hearing) it!'
Abu Ja'far (a.s.) said: `My
father told me that my grandfather reported that Allah's Messenger (a.s.) said:
"On the Day of Rising, Minbars of light shall be erected for the prophets
and messengers, one of which my Minbar shall be the highest among all Minbars
on that day. Allah will then say: Deliver a speech,' so I will deliver a speech
that none of the prophets, or, messengers have ever heard. Then for the
successors (of prophets) shall be erected Minbars of light, and in the middle
of these Minbars one shall be erected for my successor, ‘Ali Ibn Abu Talib,
which will be higher than all their Minbars. Allah will then say:
"‘Ali, deliver a speech.'
So, he will deliver a speech like no successor has ever heard before. Then for
the children of the prophets and messengers shall be erected Minbars of light;
among them shall be a Minber of light for my two sons, grandsons and the two
flowers of my life (Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn). Then it shall be said to them:
"Deliver speeches." So, they will deliver two speeches like none of
the children of the prophets and messengers have ever heard before!
"A caller-Gabriel-shall then
call: `Where is Fatima (sa) Bint Muhammad?'
She (sa) will rise..."
(until he said): 'Allah, the blessed and exalted is His Name, shall say: `O
people of the gathering; to whom does honor belong today?' So Muhammad, ‘Ali,
Hasan and Al-Husayn will say: 'To Allah, The one, The Almighty 'Allah the
Exalted will say: "O people of the gathering: lower your heads and cast
your eyes down, for this is Fatima (sa) proceeding towards Paradise.' Gabriel
shall then bring her a female camel from the female camels of Paradise; its
sides shall be embellished, its muzzle with fresh pearls and it shall have a
saddle of coral. It shall kneel down in her presence; so she will ride it.
Allah will then send 100, 000 angels to accompany her on her right side, and
100, 000 angels to accompany her on her left side, and 100, 000 angels to lift
her onto their wings until they bring her to the gate of Paradise. When she is
near the gate of Paradise, she will look to her side. Allah will then say:
"Daughter of My beloved, why
did you look to your side after I gave the command that you enter my
Paradise?"
She will say: "My Lord, I
wished that my position would be realized on such a Day!"
Allah will say: "Daughter of
My beloved! Go back, and look for everyone in whose heart was love for you, or,
for any of your progeny; take their hand and lead them into paradise!"
Abu Ja'far (a.s.) said: "By
Allah; Jabir, she will pick her Shiites (followers) and those who love her just
like a bird picks good seeds from bad seeds. So, that when her Shiites are near
the gate of Paradise, Allah will inspire their hearts to look to their sides; when they do, Allah, The
Almighty, will say: My beloved ones, why did you look around when Fatima (sa),
the daughter of my beloved one, interceded for you?'.
They will answer: `Our Lord! We
hoped that our position would be known on such a day!'
Allah will then say: `My beloved
ones, go back and: Look for everyone who loved you for your love for Fatima
(sa); Look for everyone who fed you for the love of Fatima (sa);
Look for everyone who clothed you
for the love of Fatima (sa); Look for everyone who gave you a drink for the
love of Fatima (sa); Look for everyone who prevented (Gheeba) backbiting from
being done against you for the love of Fatima (sa)... Take their hands and lead
them into Paradise... "'
May Allah give us taufeeq to see that day
soon. May Allah keep us on the path of shiaism till our death so that we get
benefit of shafaat of Janabe Zehra (sa).
