What did the Prophet say to his daughter Lady Fatimah Zahra about Ahlul Bayt and Imam Mahdi?
Ali ibn Hilal narrated from his father who said: When the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) was ill; I visited him and saw Lady Fatimah Zahra (SA) was sitting next to her father’s bedside and crying. When her crying became louder, the Prophet (PBUH) raised his head and asked: Dear Fatimah, why are you crying? Lady Fatimah Zahra (SA) replied: I fear our respect will be lost after you. The Prophet (PBUH) said: My dear, do you not know that God looked at the residents of the earth and chose your father from among them, then looked and chose your husband, and revealed to me: You two (Imam Ali (AS) and Lady Fatimah Zahra (SA)) marry each other.
My daughter, we are Ahlul Bait who God has given seven blessings which no one else before or after us has been granted. And they are: That I am the seal of the prophets, the best of them, and the most popular servant of God, and with all these privileges, I am your father. My successor (Ali (AS)) is the best successor a prophet can have, and he is the most popular of them with God, and he is your husband.
O’ Fatimah, swear to God, who truly appointed me; Mahdi of this Ummah is also from Ahlul Bait, when the world is full of disorder and disturbances, and the ways are blocked, and they steal each other’s wealth, the elders do not have pity on the young ones, and the young ones do not respect the elders, Allah (SWT) will send the one who will open the castles of darkness, and locked hearts, and will firmly establish the basis of the religion, and the earth will be filled with justice.
