Hadith 3

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbaar’ – Ibn Al Mutawakkal, from Al Himeyri, from Ibn Yazeed, from Ibn fazzal, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjal, from Sadeyr Al Sayrafi, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Noor of (Syeda) Fatima-asws was Created before the creation of the earth and the sky’. So, one of the people said, ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! So, she-asws isn’t a human being? ’ He-saww said: ‘Fatima-asws is a human Hourie’. They said, ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! And how is she-asws a human Hourie? ’
He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created her from His-azwj Noor, before He-azwj Created Adam-as, when there were spirits. When Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created Adam‑as, she-asws was presented (as a Noor) unto Adam-as’ (for the recognition of Allah-azwj). It was said, ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! And where was (Syeda) Fatima-asws? ’ He-saww said: ‘She-asws was in a receptacle beneath the Base of the Throne’. They said, ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! What was her-asws food? ’
He-saww said: ‘The glorification (Tasbeeh), and the extollation of Holiness (Taqdees), and the proclamation of Oneness (Tahleel), and the praising (Tahmeed). When Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created Adam-as and Extracted me-saww from his-as lineage, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Loved to Extract her-asws from my-saww lineage, He-azwj Made her-asws to be (in) an apple in the Paradise, and Jibraeel-as came to me-saww with it’. He-as said to me-saww: ‘The greetings be unto you-saww, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings, O Muhammad-saww! ’ I-saww said: ‘And upon you-as be the greetings and Mercy of Allah-azwj, O Jibraeel-as! ’ He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Your-saww Lord-azwj Conveys you-saww the Greetings! ’ I-saww said: ‘The Greetings is from Him-azwj, to Him-azwj return the greetings’. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! This here is an apple from the Paradise. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Gifted it to you-saww’. I-saww took it and pressed it to my-saww chest. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty is Saying to you-saww: “Eat it! ”’
I-saww split it, and I-saww saw Noor shining, and I-saww was alarmed from it. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! What is the matter you-saww are not eating? Eat it and do not fear, for that Noor is of Al-Mansoura in the sky, and in the earth she-asws is (called) Fatima-asws’. I-saww said: ‘My-saww beloved Jibraeel-as! And why is she-asws named as ‘Al-Mansoura’ in the sky, and in the earth as ‘Fatima’? ’
He-as said: ‘She-asws is named as ‘Fatima’ in the earth because she-asws will be pulling her-asws Shias from the Fire, and her-asws enemies are pulled away from her-asws love, and she is ‘Al-Mansoura’ (The Helped one) in the sky, and that is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: and on that day the Momineen shall rejoice [30: 4] With the Help of Allah. He Helps the ones He so Desires to, [30: 5] – meaning Fatima-asws’s help the ones loving her-asws’’. [3]
