The Marvelous Chat

The Marvelous Chat

     It is written in the books of history that one day as the lady Fatema –Zahra(s.a.) was sitting beside her father, the messenger of the mighty God (Peace be upon them), a blind man by the name of Ibin Om Maktoom asked permission to come in the house of the Prophet (Peace be upon him).  Prior to his entrance, the lady Fatema left the room and when the man departed she came back to sit with her father once again.

Testing his daughter the Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired about her leave, although she knew that he was blind.  The Prophet (p) asked about the reason why she left the room, although he knew why, but  he wanted her answer to be written in history as the greatest example of zeal and faith, forever.

She (peace be upon her) answered, “If he couldn’t see me, surely I can see him and he can smell the wind”, meaning he may smell a woman.

The great Prophet (peace be upon him) was amazed by this answer that was filled with modesty and chastity, he did not reprimand her for her conservativeness, but he encouraged her and he supported her and he said, “I surely witness that you are a part of me”

And when the Lady Fatema to Zahra wanted to give her eternal historic speech, the people put a curtain in the mosque separating the men from the women.  She (peace be upon her) sat with the women on one side and the men, (Al-Mohajerean and Al-Ansar) sat on the other side.

From there, behind the curtain, she  (peace be upon her) started her great speech that was to be considered equal to a miracle, filled with science, knowledge, wisdom, beauty, and eloquence.
