Hadith 21

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – It is reported from Jabir, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When the daughter of Yazdjard Bin Shahryar, last of the kings of Persia and their end, arrived to Umar and entered Al-Medina, the unmarried women of Al-Medina came out to look at her, and the gathering shone by the illumination of her face, and she saw Umar. She said, ‘Ah Beyruj Bda Hurmuz! ’ (Oh the captivity after Hurmuz (her father). Umar was angered and said, ‘This harsh one is insulting me! ’ And he thought with killing her. Ali-asws said to him: ‘It is not for you to dislike what you don’t know’. He ordered with calling (with the bidding) upon her. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘It is not allowed to sell daughters of kings, and even if they are disbelievers. But, presented to her that she should choose a man from the Muslims until she married him, and her dower to be counted upon him to be from his awards from the public treasury, to stand in place of the price’. Umar said, ‘I shall do so’. And he presented it unto her to choose. She roamed around and placed her hand upon a shoulder of Al-Husayn-asws. He (Ali-asws) said (in Persian): ‘Jass Naam Dary, Ey Kaneezak’ – meaning, ‘What is your name, O captive? ’ She-asws said: ‘Jahanshah’. He‑asws said: ‘But (it is) ‘Shahrbanuwayh’’. She said, ‘That is my sister’. He-asws said: ‘Rast Gufty’, i. e. ‘You speak the truth’. Then he-asws turned to Al-Husayn-asws. He-asws said: ‘Be protective with her and be good to her. She will be blessed for you-asws to best of the people of the earth during his-asws time, after you-asws, and she would be mother-as of the successors-as, the goodly offspring’. She-as was blessed Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn Zayn Al-Abideen-asws. And it is reported that she-as died after being blessed with him-asws, and rather she-as had chosen Al-Husayn-asws because she-as had seen (Syeda) Fatima-asws and had become Muslims before the Muslim soldiers had seized her-as, and for her-saww there is a story, and it is – She said, ‘I-asws saw during the sleep before the arrival of Muslim soldiers, as if Muhammad-saww Rasool-Allah-saww had entered our house with Al-Husayn-asws and had proposed to me-as for him-asws, and got me-as married to him-asws. When I woke up in the morning, that had impacted upon my heart, and there was nothing in my mind other than this. When it was during the second night, I-as saw (Syeda) Fatima-asws daughter-asws of Muhammad-asws having come to me-as and presented to me-as. So I-as became a Muslim’. Then she-asws said, ‘The overcoming shall be happening for the Muslims and very shortly you will be arriving to my-asws son-asws Al-Husayn-asws safely. No one will afflict you-as with evil’. She-as said, ‘And from the situation I-as was brought out to Al-Medina, no hand of any person touched me-as’’. [25]
