A while had passed since the\nusurpation of the caliphate from Imam Ali (PBUH) and the attack on the house of\nLady Fatimah (PBUH), which led to her grave injuries. As her health worsened,\nfew women in Medina came to visit her and expressing, \u201cDear daughter of Prophet\nMuhammad (PBUH&HP) how did you spend your night in illness and how are you\nnow?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lady Fatimah (PBUH) praised Allah and\nsent blessings upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP), and in response to the\nladies, did not speak of her pains, but spoke in a stern, sad, and moving tone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018By Allah (SWT)\nI spent the night hating your world, counting your men as enemies, and hating\nthem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tested them, distanced them, and was\nangered by them\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whoa on them! How did they do away\nwith the strong mountains and basis of prophethood and divine leadership? (How\ndid they do forsake) the area of revelation, the place where the truthful Angel\nGabriel descended, the place of those aware in the affairs of the world and\nreligion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verily, that will be a manifest loss.1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What complaint did they have on Ali\n(PBUH)?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Allah! Their complaint of him was\nof his sharp sword, and his indifference against death in the battlefield, and\nhis strength in battle against the enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed, by Allah (if he was the\ncaliph) whenever people would go astray from the path of truth and neglect open\nreason, he would have guided them kindly and softly towards the goal. (He would guide them) such that was in no way\nhurtful. Neither would the ride get weak nor the rider tired or exhausted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He would in no way benefit from the\nworld, except to quench the thirst of the thirsty and satisfy the hungry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as Allah has said: And if the\npeople of the towns had believed and kept their duty, We would certainly have\nopened for them blessings from the heavens and the earth. But they rejected, so\nWe seized them for what they earned.2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And those who did wrong of these, will\nalso be overtaken by the evil results (torment) for that which they earned, and\nthey will never be able to escape.3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now come and hear of the baseless\nreasons of the usurpers; and no matter how much you age the world will show you\na new amazement! If you want to be surprised be surprised of their (the\nusurpers) words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh how I wish I knew of which sources\nthey based their arguments on? Which foundations did they base their trust on?\nAnd what have they held on to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whoa on them! \u201cIs He then Who guides\nto the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright\nunless he is guided? What then is the matter with you; how do you judge?\u201d4<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be aware, by my life, the camel of\ncaliphate has been impregnated. Await.\nNot long will pass when it gives birth to its calf. (And then you will see what\ncalf it has brought). And then you will see that instead of a bowl of milk, you\nwill you will be milking bowls of fresh poisonous blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn that Day the\nfollowers of falsehood shall lose (everything).\u201d5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go and remain happy with your world,\nand be satisfied with it, but be prepared for a test and anxious affliction, which\nafflicts you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be happy with your sharp swords and\nthe corrupt rule of bloodthirsty invaders, and the anarchic chaos that will\ncome from the rule of tyrant oppressors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A rule that will do away with your\nwealth and invade your population!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whoa upon you! How do you hope to be\nsaved while though truth has remained hidden from you, and are unaware of the\ntrue happenings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShall we force\nit upon you, while you are averse from it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
