The words of the poet:
8. The names of these two is inscribed in a single line under the shade of the throne (Arsh) near to each other.
It hints at the tradition of inscribing of the name of Fatima, her father,
husband and sons under the shade of the Throne (Arsh) and on the gate of
Paradise as Khatib Baghdadi1 has narrated from Ibne Abbas in his Tarikh; that:
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said:
“On the night of Ascension, I saw written on the gate of Paradise: There is
no god, except One God, Muhammad is the messenger of God, Ali is the beloved
of God and Hasan and Husain are the chosen ones of God; Fatima is the chosen
one of God; curse of God is on their enemies.”
Khatib Khwarizmi has also mentioned this in his Manaqib.2
Statement of the poet:
9. Almighty Allah is her (Fatima’s) guardian and her trustworthy one, Jibraeel, was the reciter of her marriage formula.
Is a hint that Almighty Allah Himself gave Fatima in marriage to Ali (a.s.)
and He was her guardian and the Trustworthy Jibraeel recited her marriage
formula as narrated from Jabir bin Samra that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.)
said:
“People, this is Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.); you think that I gave my daughter,
Fatima in marriage to him and indeed the elders of Quraish had asked me for her
hand in marriage, but I did not respond. It was because I was waiting for the news
from heavens till Jibraeel came on 24th of the month of Ramadhan and said: O
Muhammad, Allah, the Mighty and the High has conveyed greetings to you and
gathered the angels, spirits and the cherubim (Karroobeen) on the land called
Afyah and under the Tooba tree and gave Fatima in marriage to Ali and
commanded me. So I performed the marriage and Almighty Allah was the
guardian.”3
Statement of the poet:
10. And her dower is one-fifth of the earth and this is a gift, which is great among gifts. 11. And her showering is from the tree of Tooba, a purified showering.
In this couplet, it is hinted at the traditional report, which Shaykh Islam,
Hamwaini has narrated from Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) in Chapter eighteen of
his Faraidus Simtain4 when the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said to Ali (a.s.):
“O Ali, indeed, the earth belongs to God, and He gives it to whoever He
wants. Indeed, He has revealed to me to give Fatima in marriage to you at the dower of one-fifth part of the earth. Thus, it is unlawful for your enemy to walk
on the earth.”
Statement of the poet:
11. And her showering is from the tree of Tooba, a purified showering.
Hints at the tradition of showering, which Bilal bin Hamama has narrated
that one day we met the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) while he was smiling and
in a joyful mood. So, Abdur Rahman bin Auf asked:
“O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), what is the reason of this joy?”
He replied: “It is a glad tiding from my Lord regarding my brother and
cousin; and it is that Allah has given Fatima in marriage to Ali and commanded
the angel, Rizwan, treasurer of Paradise, so he shook the Tooba tree and it
showered certificates according to the number of devotees of Ahle Bayt (a.s.) and
created effulgence under every angel and gave that certificate to them. On
Judgment Day they would call out among people and no follower of Ahle Bayt
(a.s.) would remain, except that he would be given certificate of freedom from
Hellfire. Then my brother and cousin, and my daughter would be those, who free
people from Hell fire.”
Khatib has mentioned this traditional report in his Tarikh, and Ibne Athir in Usudul Ghaba and Ibne Hajar in Sawaiq.5
