Abu ‘Abdallah al-Husayn b. Ali who has said the following. “When Fatima passed away Amir al-Mu’minin Ali buried her secretly, camouflaged her gravesite he then stood up facing the grave of the Messenger of Allah said, “O the Messenger of Allah may He grant you blessings on behalf of me the on behalf of your daughter who is visiting you and will pass this night in the soil in your location whom Allah chose to make join you the fastest. O the Messenger of Allah, my patience has reached to the brim and I miss so much your chosen one (daughter) and my self-control is banished for the departure of the leader of the ladies of the worlds. The only solace for me is to follow your tradition and be mournful for your own departure from us. A little while ago I placed you in your grave and your spirit left your body between my own throat and chest. Yes, in the book of Allah (for me) there is the best form to express acceptance of Allah’s decision “We are the servants of God and to Him we shall all return.” (2:156) The trust is returned and the commit is recalled and al-Zahra’ is taken away from us. How sad, O the Messenger of Allah, the green skies and the dusty earth seem to us. My sadness has become perpetual and my nights have become sleepless. There is an anxiety that will not relieve my heart until Allah will choose for me the dwelling like that where you are. I have a heart bleeding sorrow and restless anxiety. How quickly the separation took place? To Allah I raise my complaints and your own daughter will explain to you how your ’Umma (followers) succeeded in committing injustice against her. You may ask her questions and find information about the case from her. How great was the sorrow that she will find a place and an ear to express to. She would say Allah will judge because he is the best judge. I offer my prayer to Allah to grant you blessings as a note of farewell but not because of disappointment and despair. If I return it is not that I have become tired and if I will stand up it will not be because of pessimism in the promise of Allah to those who exercise patience. Indeed, to exercise patience is more safe and fruitful. Had it not been for the mischief of the enemies I would have turned the place a place of worship and would have kept my worship continuous and would have cried like the mothers for the death of their son for the great loss. In the sight of Allah your daughter is buried secretly, her rights are taken away unjustly, her inheritance is withheld for no valid reason. It all happened just after you left and your memories are still fresh. To Allah O the Messenger of Allah we complain and from you O the Messenger of Allah we seek condolences. May Allah grant blessings to you and to her. May the peace and happiness of Allah be with you.”
