6ـ وَبِهَذَا الاسْنَادِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ ابي جعفر قَالَ لَمَّا وُلِدَتْ فَاطِمَةُ (عليها السلام) أَوْحَى الله إِلَى مَلَكٍ فَأَنْطَقَ بِهِ لِسَانَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَسَمَّاهَا فَاطِمَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي فَطَمْتُكِ بِالْعِلْمِ وَفَطَمْتُكِ مِنَ الطَّمْثِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ وَالله لَقَدْ فَطَمَهَا الله بِالْعِلْمِ وَعَنِ الطَّمْثِ فِي الْمِيثَاقِ.

6. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from Salih ibn ‘Aqaba from Yazid ibn ‘Abd al-Malik from abu Ja‘far who has said the following. “When Fatima was born Allah sent an angel to make the tongue of Muhammad call her ‘Fatima’. Then he said, “I set you free (from ignorance) with knowledge and set you free from menses.” Abu Ja‘far then said, “By Allah, He had set her free with knowledge (from ignorance) and from menses at the time universal covenant (al-Mithaq).”
