[زِيَارَةُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى أَبِيهَا وَبَعْلِهَا وَبَنِيهَا] قَالَ مُصَنِّفُ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ -: اِخْتَلَفَتِ الرِّوَايَاتُ فِي مَوْضِعِ قَبْرِ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ رَوَى أَنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ فِي الْبَقِيعِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ رَوَى أَنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَالْمِنْبَرِ، وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ إِنَّمَا قَالَ: "مَا بَيْنَ قَبْرِي وَمِنْبَرِي رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ" لِأَنَّ قَبْرَهَا بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَالْمِنْبَرِ. وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ رَوَى أَنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا، فَلَمَّا زَادَتْ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ صَارَتْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ عِنْدِي. وَإِنِّي لَمَّا حَجَجْتُ بَيْتَ اللَّهِ الْحَرَامَ كَانَ رُجُوعِي عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بِتَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ قَصَدْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ، وَهُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي تَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ بَابِ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَى مُؤَخَّرِ الْحَظِيرَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُمْتُ عِنْدَ الْحَظِيرَةِ وَيَسَارِي إِلَيْهَا، وَجَعَلْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ، وَاسْتَقْبَلْتُهَا بِوَجْهِي وَأَنَا عَلَى غُسْلٍ، وَقُلْتُ: "السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ حَبِيبِ اللَّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ صَفِيِّ اللَّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ أَمِينِ اللَّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ خَيْرِ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ أَفْضَلِ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا ابْنَةَ خَيْرِ الْبَرِيَّةِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا زَوْجَةَ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ وَخَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا أُمَّ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ سَيِّدَي شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا الصِّدِّيقَةُ الشَّهِيدَةُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا الرَّضِيَّةُ الْمَرْضِيَّةُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْفَاضِلَةُ الزَّكِيَّةُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْحُورِيَّةُ الْإِنْسِيَّةُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا التَّقِيَّةُ النَّقِيَّةُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْمُحَدَّثَةُ الْعَلِيمَةُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْمَظْلُومَةُ الْمَغْصُوبَةُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْمُضْطَهَدَةُ الْمَقْهُورَةُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ." صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى رُوحِكِ وَبَدَنِكِ. أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكِ مَضَيْتِ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكِ، وَأَنَّ مَنْ سَرَّكِ فَقَدْ سَرَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، وَمَنْ جَفَاكِ فَقَدْ جَفَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، وَمَنْ آذَاكِ فَقَدْ آذَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، وَمَنْ وَصَلَكِ فَقَدْ وَصَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، وَمَنْ قَطَعَكِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ. لِأَنَّكِ بَضْعَةٌ مِنْهُ، وَرُوحُهُ الَّتِي بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ، كَمَا قَالَ عَلَيْهِ أَفْضَلُ صَلَوَاتِ اللَّهِ وَسَلَامِهِ. "أَشْهَدُ اللَّهَ وَرُسُلَهُ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ أَنِّي رَاضٍ عَمَّنْ رَضِيتِ عَنْهُ، سَاخِطٌ عَلَى مَنْ سَخِطْتِ عَلَيْهِ، مُتَبَرِّئٌ مِمَّنْ تَبَرَّأْتِ مِنْهُ، مُوَالٍ لِمَنْ وَالَيْتِ، مُعَادٍ لِمَنْ عَادَيْتِ، مُبْغِضٌ لِمَنْ أَبْغَضْتِ، مُحِبٌّ لِمَنْ أَحْبَبْتِ، وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا وَحَسِيبًا وَجَازِيًا وَمُثِيبًا." ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: "اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَخَيْرِ الْخَلَائِقِ أَجْمَعِينَ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى وَصِيِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِمَامِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَخَيْرِ الْوَصِيِّينَ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدَي شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ. وَصَلِّ عَلَى زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ بَاقِرِ عِلْمِ النَّبِيِّينَ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى الصَّادِقِ عَنْ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى كَاظِمِ الْغَيْظِ فِي اللَّهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى الرِّضَا عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى، وَصَلِّ عَلَى التَّقِيِّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى النَّقِيِّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى الزَّكِيِّ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، وَصَلِّ عَلَى الْحُجَّةِ الْقَائِمِ ابْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ."

"اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبْتَ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهَّرْتَهُمْ تَطْهِيرًا."
Visiting Fatimah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Daughter of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم (peace Be Upon Her and Upon Her Father صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Husband عليه السلام, and Sons عليه السلام): The compiler of this book—may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him—stated: There are differing narrations regarding the burial place of Fatimah, the Lady of the Worlds, peace be upon her. Some narrations state that she was buried in al-Baqi‘. Others suggest that she was buried between the Prophet’s grave and his pulpit, and that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: “What is between my grave and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise” because her grave lies between the two. Another set of narrations claims that she was buried in her house. When the Umayyads expanded the mosque, her burial site became part of the mosque. This last opinion is the one I consider to be correct. When I performed Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, my return journey took me to Madinah through the grace of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted. After completing my visitation to the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, I went to the house of Fatimah, peace be upon her. It lies from the column near the entrance through the Gate of Archangel Jibril عليه السلام extending to the rear of the sacred enclosure that houses the grave of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. I stood near the enclosure, to its left side, with my back facing the Qiblah and my face directed towards her resting place. I performed this while in a state of ritual purification and recited: "Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Prophet of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Beloved of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Friend of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Chosen of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Trustworthy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى creation. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the most excellent of Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى Prophets, Messengers, and Angels. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of creation. Peace be upon you, O Mistress of the women of the worlds, from the first to the last. Peace be upon you, O wife of the Friend of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the best of creation after the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon you, O mother of Hasan and Husayn, the chiefs of the youth of Paradise. Peace be upon you, O truthful martyr. Peace be upon you, O content and satisfied one. Peace be upon you, O virtuous and pure one. Peace be upon you, O heavenly human. Peace be upon you, O pious and pure one. Peace be upon you, O learned and inspired one. Peace be upon you, O oppressed and usurped one. Peace be upon you, O persecuted and subdued one. Peace be upon you, O Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. May the mercy and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon you." "Peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon you, upon your soul, and upon your body. I testify that you departed this world upon clear guidance from your Lord عز وجل. Verily, whoever pleases you has pleased the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family; whoever distances themselves from you has distanced themselves from the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family; whoever harms you has harmed the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family; whoever connects with you has connected with the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family; and whoever severs ties with you has severed ties with the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. For you are a part of him, his very essence, as he, peace and blessings be upon him, has said, 'You are his soul which resides between his sides.' I call upon Allah سبحانه وتعالى, His messengers, and His angels as witnesses that I am pleased with those whom you are pleased with, I am displeased with those whom you are displeased with, I disassociate myself from those from whom you have disassociated yourself, I maintain loyalty to those whom you have allied with, I oppose those whom you oppose, I detest those whom you detest, and I love those whom you love. And Allah سبحانه وتعالى suffices as a Witness, Reckoner, and Rewarder." "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, bless and send peace upon Your servant and Messenger Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the best of all creation. Bless the Successor, Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Commander of the Faithful, the leader of the Muslims, and the best of successors. Bless Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad, the mistress of the women of the worlds. Bless the two leaders of the youth of Paradise, Hasan and Husayn. Bless Ali ibn Husayn, the adornment of worshippers. Bless Muhammad ibn Ali, the expositor of the knowledge of the Prophets. Bless Ja'far ibn Muhammad, the truthful about Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Bless Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim, who restrained anger for Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Bless Ali ibn Musa, the contented. Bless Muhammad ibn Ali, the pious. Bless Ali ibn Muhammad, the pure. Bless Hasan ibn Ali, the righteous. And bless the Hujjah (the Proof), the Awaited, son of Hasan ibn Ali. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, give life to the earth with justice through him and destroy tyranny through him. Adorn the earth with the extension of his reign and manifest Your religion and the Sunnah of Your Prophet through him so that no aspect of the truth remains concealed out of fear of any of Your creation. Include us among his supporters, followers, and those accepted among his allies, O Lord عز وجل of the worlds. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, bless Muhammad and his household, whom You have purified and removed all impurity from thoroughly.
