The beloved daughter
of the Chief of Prophets, Muhammad (s.a.w.a.s.), the Noble Messenger of Allah
(s.w.t.) was Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.), the Chief of the women of the world,
the Lady of Paradise, was a unique creation of Allah (s.w.t.). Her names were 50
(Please see my article Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.)’s names) some of them are Umme Abiha, Siddiqa, Tahira,
Raziyah, Marziyah, Batool, Ummul Hasnain, Sayyida, Masooma, Zahida, Abeda,
Zakiyya, Alima.
Her two sons were
Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Husayn (a.s.), who were given the title of “the
Chief of the youths of Paradise” by the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.).
Once, when these two “princes” were very young and a day
before the Eid, told their mother that the children of Madinah were celebrating
Eid and they have new clothes, we also wanted new clothes. The Lion of Allah,
the Conqueror of Khyber, the Infallible Imam Ali (a.s.) lead a simple life
having only the basic necessity of life. Whatever money was received, he would
quickly distribute it among the poor and needy of Madinah. When her children
desired new clothes, it was a difficult situation for her. She promised the
children that their dresses are being made and the tailor shall bring it to
them. The Infallible Fatima Zahra (s.a.), the Abeda and Zahida daughter of the
Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) quickly performed salaat and prayed to her Creator
to keep her words as she had promised her little ones new clothes. Allah (s.w.t.) wanted to save His special
slave Fatima Zahra (s.a.) from this situation. She was one of the “Pure person”
in the Ayah of Purity (Surah al-Ahzab Ayah 33) and the “Truthful Woman” in Ayah
of Mubahelah (Surah Ale Imran Ayah 61). The Al-Mighty Allah (s.w.t.) wanted that
her “Truthfulness” should be preserved. Hence He sent the Rizwan of Paradise as
“the tailor of Hasnain”. Before her sala’t was completed, there was a knock at
the door of Imam Ali (a.s.)’s house. When someone asked: “Who is there?” The
Angel replied: “I am the tailor of Hasnain and have brought their dresses.”
When the package was opened there were two pairs of dresses; one was green
dress for Imam Hasan (a.s.) and one was red for Imam Husayn (a.s.)
Next day which was the day of Eid, the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.)
visited his daughter Fatima (s.a.), and inquired did she know who was the
tailor of Hasnain (a.s.); he said that it was Rizwan, the in charge of
Paradise!
The choice of colors
was also meaningful; Imam Hasan (a.s.) was provided with a green dress which
represent the color of the victim of poison, and Imam Husayn (a.s.) was given
red dress which represents the color of blood resulting from martyrdom by
swords! Later, the color scheme was converted into reality when Imam Hasan
(a.s.) was poisoned by Muawiya through his own wife-Ja’adah binte Ash’as.
Muawiya promised her huge reward for the crime and marriage with Yazid. After
the martyrdom of Imam Hasan (a.s.), he gave the promised money but did not
marry his son Yazid to her saying when she was unfaithful to the “Chief of the
youths of Paradise” how he can trust her. And Imam Husayn (a.s.) was literally
slaughtered at the plains of Karbala by Yazid’s so-called Muslims!
