Monday, February 25th, 2019, marks the birth anniversary of Sayyida Fatimah al-Zahra (p), 20th of Jumada al-Thania, 1440 A.H.

Imam Hasan (p) is reported to have said, “On a Friday night, I saw my mother, Fatimah (p), standing in her place of prayer. She was continuously bowing and performing prostration [ruku and sujood] until the break of dawn. I would hear her supplicate [the Almighty] for the faithful men and women, but she did not ask anything for herself. I said, ‘Oh mother, why did you not pray for yourself like you prayed for others?’ She replied, ‘Oh my son, first the neighbors and then the [household].’”

[Shaykhِ al-Sadooq, Ilal al-Sharai, vol 1, p 182.]

روي عن الإمام الحسن المجتبى (ع) أنّه قال: رأيت أمي فاطمة عليها السلام قامت في محرابها ليلة جمعتها فلم تزل راكعة ساجدة حتى اتضح عمود الصبح وسمعتها تدعو للمؤمنين والمؤمنات وتسميهم وتكثر الدعاء لهم ولا تدعو لنفسها بشيء، فقلت لها يا أماه لم لا تدعون لنفسك كما تدعون لغيرك؟ فقالت يا بني: الجار ثم الدار.
