Fatimah Funeral Service

After the demise of the holy Prophet, catastrophic events happened in the life of hazrat   Zahra ( a.s.) , such as Saqifah event, seizure of caliphate, and confiscation of Fadak. Her attempt to restore Fadak, forcing ‘Ali to take pledge to  Abu-Bakr, hitting hazrat   Zahra  ( a.s.), her illness, and some other issues caused her a lot of sadness and eventually she passed away in  a short time after her father. Islamic historians and researchers wrote about various issues of how she was buried and specially the site of her burial in the history of Islam and in the Shia history. Amongst old scholars , for example, ibn Sa’d in his Al-Tabaqat al-Kubra[i], Bilazuri in Ansab Al-Ashraf[ii], Tabari in his Tarikh al-Umam va al-Molok[iii], Mufid in Al-Ikhtisas and ibn Shahr Ashub in Manaqib Al Abi Talib[iv] reported the night of her burial. From contemporary scholars also Sayyid Mohsen Amin ‘Amili in Ayan Al-Shia and others reported this night [i] ۸/۲۸-۳۰ [ii] ۲/۳۳-۳۴ [iii] ۲/۴۷۳-۴۷۴ [iv] ۳/۱۳۷-۱۴۰
