The Messenger of Allah (s) said: “Fatimah (a) is a part of soul; whoever makes her happy has, in fact, made me happy, and whoever hurts her has, in fact, hurt me; Fatimah is dearer to me than all other people”.
With the demise of the Prophet (s) the grudges that some former pagans bore against the Prophet (s) due to their failure and the losses that they had sustained in the battles of Badr, Khaybar and Honayn at the hand of the Prophet (s) and other Muslims was uncovered. Thus, various groups of hypocrites became active after the demise of the Prophet (s) to take vengeance on Islam and the Prophet’s Ahl-al-Bayt (a). Most of these attacks were focused on Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (a) as she was the Prophet’s beloved daughter and the mother of the Prophet’s progeny. She became the focus of the attacks of the enemies of the Prophet (s) while she was already suffering enough because of the tragic demise of her father, the oppression that her husband, Imam Ali (a), faced, the plots of the enemies of Islam to undermine the religion, and the concerns that she had regarding the future of the Muslims and the protection of the legacy of the Quran.
