Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the authority of Lady Fatima, the beloved daughter of the Holy Prophet (peace be on her) that she said:
\n“One day when my beloved father, the Holy Prophet (S), visited me in my house,
\nhe (S) said: `O Fatima! Peace be on you.’
\nI replied: `O father! Peace be on you too.’
\nHe then said: `I am feeling some weakness within me.’
\nI said: \u2018Allah forbid that you may be sick.’
\nThen he said: ‘Fatima! Fetch me a Yemenite cloak and wrap it round me.’ I brought the Yemenite cloak and covered my dear father with it. I then noticed that his face was glowing like a full moon.
\nA moment later, my beloved son, Hassan came and said: \u2018O my dear mother! Peace of Allah be on you.’
\n1 replied: \u2018O my loving son, the apple of my eyes, the delight of my heart! Peace be on you too.’
\nHe then said: \u2018O my dear mother! I am smelling the fragrance of my loving grandfather!’
\nI said:`Yes, your beloved grandfather is here under the cloak.’
\nHassan then went forwards his grandfather and said: `O my grandfather! Peace be on you. May I enter the cloak.’
\nMy loving father replied: `O my son, the owner of my fountain (of Kauthar)! Peace be on you too. Yes; you may enter.’
\nThus Hassan entered the cloak. Soon after, my loving son, Hussain came and said: `O my dear mother! Peace be on you.’
\n1 replied: `O my loving son, the apple of my eyes, the delight of my heart! peace be on you too.’
\nHe then said: `O my dear mother! I am smelling the fragrance of my affectionate grandfather!’ I replied: \u2018Yes, your loving grandfather and your elder brother Hassan, are inside the cloak.’
\nHussain then went near the cloak and said: `O my dear grandfather, the chosen Prophet of Allah! peace be on you. May I also come inside the cloak to be with both of you.’
\nMy loving father replied: `O my son, the interceder of my Ummah! peace be on you too. Yes you may enter.’
\nThus Hussain too entered the cloak.
\nThen Ali?Ibn Abu Talib came and said: `O beloved daughter of the Holy Prophet! peace be on you.’
\n1 replied: `O Abul?Hassan, Commander of the Faithful! peace be on you too.’
\nHe then said: ‘Fatima! I am smelling the fragrance of my brother, the son of my Uncle.’
\nI replied: \u2018Yes! He along with your two sons is inside the cloak’
\nAli then proceeded towards the cloak and said: `O Prophet of Allah! peace be on you. May I also come to you inside the cloak!’
\nMy beloved father replied: ‘Peace be on you also my brother, my vicegerent, my successor, my standard bearer! You may also come inside.’
\nThus Ali also went inside the cloak
\nThen I went near the cloak and said: `Peace be on you, O my loving father! O Prophet of Allah! May I also come to you inside the cloak.’
\nMy loving father replied: ‘Peace of Allah be on you also, my beloved daughter! All
\ndear heart! You too have my permission.’
\nThus, I also went inside the cloak. Now when all of us got assembled inside the Cloak,
\nmy affectionate father held the two corners of the cloak and raising his right hand towards the sky said:
\n‘O Allah! These are my Ahlul?Bayt.
\nThey are my confidants and my supporters.
\nTheir flesh is my flesh and their blood is my blood.
\nWhoever hurts them, hurts me.
\nWhoever displeases them, displeases me.
\nWhoever makes peace with them, will make peace with me.
\nWhoever has enmity against them, will have enmity against me.
\nWhoever is a friend to them, is a friend of mine. It is because they belong to me and I belong to them.
\nO Allah! Bestow Your peace, Benevolence, Mercy, forgiveness and Your Pleasures on me and on them.
\nAnd keep them aloof from uncleanliness and keep them pure and thoroughly purified.’
\nThen the Lord, Almighty Allah said:
\n`O my Angels! O inmates of the heavens!
\nI created this solid firmament, well?stretched earth,
\nwell?lighted moon, shinning sun, rotating planets, rippling oceans, floating boats,
\nand all other things for the sake and love of these five persons who are inside the cloak.’
\nAt this, the Archangel Gabriel asked:
\n`O Lord! Who are they inside the cloak?’
\nThe Lord said:
\n`They are Ahlul?Bayt of the Prophet and the assets of the Prophethood. They are Fatima, her father, her husband and her two sons.’
\nGabriel said:
\n`O Lord! permit me also to descend to earth and join them as the sixth inside the cloak.’
\nThe Lord said: \u2018You are permitted.’
\nThus Gabriel, the Archangel came down to earth and said:
\n`O Prophet of Allah! peace be on you. The Gracious Lord, the Almighty Allah sends His Greetings to you to bestow on you His Grace and Mercy and says:
\n“By My Grace and Grandeur! I have created this solid
\nfirmament, well?stretched earth, well?lighted moon,
\nshining sun, rotating planets, rippling oceans, floating boats and
\nall other things for the sake and love of you and
\nyour chosen people.”
\nAnd the Lord, Almighty has given me the permission to join you inside the cloak
\nO Prophet of Allah!
\nMay I come in and be with you?’
\nThe Holy Prophet replied:
\n‘O Bearer of the Divine revelations! Peace be on you also. Yes, you may come in.’
\nThen Gabriel too came inside the cloak
\nThereafter, he spoke to my affectionate father:
\n\u2018Allah sends His revelation to you people and says:
\n“Surely, Allah has decided that He should keep you and your Ahlul?Bayt clean of all pollution and purify you people with a thorough purification.”‘
\nThen Ali said to my loving father:
\n‘Tell me! What merit the coming under this cloak has before Allah ?’
\nThe Holy Prophet replied:
\n`By that Being, Who made me His Prophet and Who, for the salvation of mankind appointed me to prophethood! When any of our Shiites and supporters will assemble in a
\ngathering of the inmates of this earth and narrate this Hadith, Allah will bestow on them His Blessings and Mercy; angels will encircle them and as long as they do not disperse,
\nthe angels will pray for the forgiveness of their sins.’
\nAt this, Ali said:
\n`By Allah! We and our Shiites have now become triumphant.’
\nThen the Holy Prophet said:
\n\u2018O Ali! By that Being, Who made me the righteous prophet and appointed me to the prophet?hood for the sake of people’s salvation, whenever in the gathering of the inmates of this earth our Shiites and friends will assemble and narrate this Hadith of ours, and if some?one amongst them will be in agony, Allah will remove his trouble; and if someone was sorrowful, Allah will relieve him of his sorrows; will answer his needs.’
\nThen Ali said:
\n`By Allah! At this moment we have been crowned with success and Blessings; and by the Lord of Kaabah, in the same way our Shiites too have become triumphant and blessed in this world and the Hereafter.’<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
