AHLULBAYT AND THE VERSE OF MUBAHELAH

 

When the Christians from Najran visited Madina and argued about Prophet Eisa as to who was his father, the Qur’an says in Surah Ali Imran Ayah 59, “Indeed the case of Jesus (prophet Eisa) with Allah is like the case of Adam: He created from dust, then said to him, ‘Be’ and he was.

When the Christians of Najran kept on arguing, then Allah revealed Ayah 61 Surah Ali Imran. “Should anyone argue with you concerning him, after the knowledge that has come to you say ‘Come! Let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, our souls, and your souls, then let us pray earnestly and call down Allah’s curse upon the liars.” In those days Allah’s wrath used to fall on the liars.

Next day the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) emerged having Imam Husseyn in his lap, holding Imam Hasan’s fingers, Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.) behind him and the Lion of Allah, Imam Ali (a.s.) was behind Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.) erasing her footprints!

The Chief of the Christians inquired about the identities.

 said, “If Muhammad has brought his entire family, then he must be convinced about their truthfulness. I am seeing such faces that if they pray Allah will move the mountains from their place. Hence, you. people do not enter the Mubahelah with them.”

Hence, their truthfulness was certified by Allah!

After the sad demise of the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.), the khilafat forcibly expelled the guards stationed by Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.) although the “Fadak” was gifted by the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) to his daughter Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.). In law, possession is the proof of ownership.

Abubaker asked for the witness of this gift. Imam Ali (a.s.) and Umme Aiman were the witnesses. He rejected Imam Ali (a.s.) for being the husband. Umme Aiman was considered as half witness. Imam Hasan and Imam Husseyn were considered children and rejected.

In the Glorious Qur’an, Imam Ali, Sayyida Fatima Zahra, Imam Hasan, and Imam Husseyn were Truthful and Abubaker requires witnesses to prove that Sayyida Fatima Zahra’s claim that Fadak was gifted to her by her father!

Whereupon Sayyida Fatima Zahra claimed her inheritance. Abubaker narrated a tradition purported to be said by the Noble Messenger which no one had heard till then. It was alleged that the prophet said that we prophets do not leave any inheritance. Whatever is left is sadaqa belonging to people. She challenged Abubaker “you will receive your father’s inheritance but not me? Prophet Suleman inherited it from Prophet Daud (27:16). Prophet Zecharia praying for a son who will inherit him. Surah Maryam Ayah 6 saying, “So grant from Yourself an heir who may inherit from me and inherit from the House of Jacob (Yaqoob). She also referred to (8:75), “And those who believed afterwards and migrated, and waged Jihad along with you, they belong to you; but the blood relatives are more entitled to inherit from one another in the Book of Allah.” Also, Surah al-Ahzab Ayah 6 relates to inheritance.
