"Fatima is a
human huri, whenever I long for paradise I kiss her."? [1]
or:
"My daughter Fatima is a human huri." [2]
or:
"Fatima is the true splendor." [3]
or with Anas Ibn Malik's Mother saying:
"Fatima was like a moon on its full night, or the sun covered with no
clouds. She was white with a touch of rose color on her face, her hair was
black and she had the beautiful features of the Messenger of Allah (S)” [4]
or Aisha's saying:
"I have not seen a person more similar to the Prophet's appearance,
conduct, guidance and speech whether sitting or standing than Fatima. When she
enters, the Messenger of Allah stands up, kisses and welcomes her, then takes
her hand and asks her to sit in his place." [6]
Also in Bihaqi's quotation in Sunah vol. 7, p. 101, Aisha said:
"I have not seen anyone more similar to the Messenger of Allah's habit of
speech and dialogue than Fatima... "
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) says to Ali (A.S.) "Your conduct and looks are
similar to mine, and you are from the same tree from which I came." [10]
While the Prophet declared that Ali was the best man of his nation, for he was
the most patient and best mannered one of them all, and says:
"Ali is the best of my nation, most knowledgeable and most patient from
among them” [11]
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) say to Fatima?
"I gave you in marriage to the first one to adhere to Islam from my
nation, he is also the most knowledgeable and most patient among them?"
[12]
and:
"I gave you in marriage to the first Muslim and best mannered man."
[13]
"He was the first to believe in me, and he will be the first to shake my
hand on the Day of Rising!?"
He also informed his companions that:
"The first among you to appear at my domain (reservoir), is he who was the
first among you to follow Islam Ali Ibn Abu Talib."
Or with that which was narrated in the story of the roasted bird?which is
mentioned in the Sahihs and Musnads?when the Prophet said:
"O Allah, bring the most beloved creature to You so that he may eat with
me."
or when he said to Aisha:
"Surely Ali is the most beloved of all men and the most precious to me.
Therefore, recognize his rights, and pay tribute to him." [19]
And:
"The most beloved of all men to me is Ali.” [20]
And:
“Ali is the best of those whom I leave behind me (after death)." [21]
And:
"The best of your men is Ali Ibn Abu Talib, and the best of your women is Fatima Bint Muhammad." [22]
And:
"Ali is the best of mankind, and he who denies (this) is an infidel."
[23]
And:
"He who does not say that Ali is the best of mankind is surely an
infidel." [24]
And in Banner's narration where it has been unanimously agreed that he (S)
said:
"Tomorrow I will hand over the banner to a man whom Allah and His
Messenger love, and who loves Allah and His Messenger."
And:
“Ali to me is like my head to my body." [25]
And:
“Ali to me is like I am to my Lord." [26]
And:
“Ali is the most beloved to me, and the most beloved to Allah." [27]
He (S) also said to Ali:
"I am from you, and you are from me; or you are from me and I am from
you.” [28]
And:
'Ali is from me and I am from him; he is the guardian (wali) of every believer
after me." [29]
And:
?In the narration regarding sending Ali (A) to read Surah At-tawbah (Surah No.
9) to the pilgrims on which it has been unanimously agreed, he said:
"No one takes it (to the pilgrims) except a man being from me and I from
him." [30]
And:
"Your flesh is my flesh, your blood is my blood, and righteousness is on
your side.” [31]
And:
"There is not a prophet who has not had a peer, and Ali is my peer.” [32]
Also, in a narration that Al?Hakim deemed authentic, Tabarani related to Umme
Salama the following:
"Whenever the Prophet of Allah was angered, no one dared to speak to him
save Ali.” [33]
Also Aisha said:
"(I declare) by Allah that I have not seen anyone more beloved to Allah 's
Messenger than Ali, or a woman on earth more beloved to him than his wife
(Ali's wife, Fatima)." [34]
Buraida and Ubae also said:
"The most beloved to the Messenger of Allah from among women is Fatima,
and from among men is Ali.,, [35]
And Juma Ibn Umair said:
"I entered Ali's house with my Aunt, when I inquired as to who was the
most beloved of all people to Allah's Messenger?! She said: Fatima. Then she
was asked: And from among men? She said: her husband, ever since I met him he
has been fasting and praying." [36]
"Surely Allah has examined the dwellers of Earth and has chosen your
Father to be a prophet, He then examined (them) and chose your husband, then He
revealed to me that I give (you to him in) marriage and appointed him as my
successor." [37]
He (S) also said to Fatima:
"Surely Allah chose two men from the dwellers of Earth, one being your
Father and the other your husband." [38]
