It is reported that Lady Fatima (A) said:
"My father said to me: `He who prays on your behalf, Allah,
Exalted and Glorified is He, shall forgive him and make him join me
wherever I may be in Paradise."
For this reason, and to benefit the dear readers of this book, we
include her visitation here and accompany it with the English
translation. (This is the visitation mentioned in Mafatih Al?Jinan (The
Keys To Paradise)):
In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Gracious
Peace be upon Muhammad and his Progeny
O you who were tried;
Allah Who Created you, tried
you before He Created your (flesh);
He found you patient with that which
He tried you with. We claim that we are your followers,
believing in you, and (believing and) bearing with everything
that has been brought unto us by your father (peace be upon him and his household)
and that which his successor brought unto us.
Therefore, we beg you (now that we believe) to make us
join both of them so that we may rejoice at being purified for following you.
(It is recommended to add here)
Peace be upon you O daughter of the Messenger of Allah;
Peace be upon you O daughter of the Prophet of Allah;
Peace be upon you O daughter of the beloved of Allah;
Peace be upon you O daughter of the friend of Allah;
Peace be upon you O daughter of the sincere friend of Allah;
Peace be upon you O daughter of the trusted (Messenger) of Allah;
Peace be upon you O daughter of the best of Allah's creatures;
Peace be upon you O daughter of the best of Allah's prophets, messengers and angels;
Peace be upon you O daughter of him who is the best of all creatures;
Peace be upon you O wife of the friend of Allah and the best of creatures after the Messenger of Allah;
Peace be upon you O Mother of Al?Hassan and Al?Hussain, who are the masters of the youth of Paradise;
Peace be upon you the truth-teller (devoted one) and martyr;
Peace be upon you O gratified and accepted one;
Peace be upon you O well-mannered and chaste one;
Peace be upon you O human huri;
Peace be upon you O pious and pure one;
Peace be upon you who is spoken to by angels, and who is knowledgeable;
Peace be upon you O oppressed and usurped one;
Peace be upon you O repressed and defeated one;
Peace be upon you O Fatima, daughter of Allah's Messenger;
and may the blessings and mercy of Allah be upon you and upon your soul and body;
I bear witness that you have perished while fully knowing your Lord.
(I also bear witness) that he who gladdens you, gladdens the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his household)
he who deserts you, deserts the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his household)
he who harms you, harms the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his household)
he who bestows you (with a favor), bestows (a favor) upon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his household) and
he who deprive you, deprives the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him
and his household) (This is) because you are "part of him and his spirit
which lies in his sides."
Allah, His Messengers and His Apostles are my witnesses that I accept him whom you accept, resent him who you resent;
I exonerate myself to Allah from him who you exonerate yourself to Allah
from, him who you be friend, hold as my enemy those who you hold (as
your enemies), and dislike him who you dislike.
Allah is the best Witness, the best-anticipated One, best Rewarder, and most Bountiful.
(It is recommended to pray on behalf of the Prophet and his progeny after this visitation.)
ALL PRAISE IS DUE ALLAH THE LORD OF THE WORLDS
