Shia view of Fatima

[1] The Sunni belief that he had other daughters by Khadijah denies Ali ibn Abu Talib the distinction of being Muhammad's only son-in-law.

[4] When Muhammad died, Aisha and her father, Abu Bakr, intrigued to grab the leadership of the Muslim community in a Coup d'état.

After Abu Bakr assumed leadership, he asked Muslims to swear allegiance to him, as was the Arab custom of the time.

According to the Shi'a view, Umar ibn al-Khattab was not only one of Abu Bakr's most zealous supporters, but also his co-conspirator and in some cases his superior.

Jauhari reports from Salma Ibn Abdu'r-Rahman that Umar shouted at the door of Fatima's house: The Shi'a view culminated in them breaking in, resulting in Fatimah's ribs being broken between the broken door and the wall, and she miscarrying an unborn son named Muhsin.

[7] Fatima opposed this confiscation, and contested Abu Bakr's statements: She still had the merit of being Muhammad's daughter and people were still watching, although they were in shock over how the events had turned out.

[4] This caused a major breach in their relations, she refused to talk to Abu Bakr until her death, something noted in Sunni hadith collections.

This barbaric action by Umar and Abu Bakr also caused the death of Fatimah's unborn son, Mohsin.

"How ugly are the sharp edges of swords when they are broken and then play with people's efforts and struggles which so many have undertaken, destroying the fortifications, breaking spears, making devious decisions and standing on the precipice of material and personal self-desires.

[13] According to numerous Shi'a sources, because of the rift between her and the Abu Bakr faction, before her death she made these requests of her husband: Ali did as she wished: she was buried at night, and accompanied to the grave by her relatives and sons.

See List of Shi'a titles for Fatima Zahra In Iran, her birthday was chosen as the date for National Women's Day, and annual mowludi or birthday celebrations are held in her honor by Iranian women; the themes routinely reflected in sermons at these functions are those of Fatimah's example as a pious daughter and wife and caring mother, and her simple lifestyle.
