Lady Fatimas Martyrdom and Funeral: When studying the history of this great ladys death and funeral, only those hearts that are stone will not break, and those eyes that are blind will not rain down tears on the pages they are reading. The door to Fatimas home was set on fire and kicked down while she was standing behind it. As a result, her blessed body was injured, and the treatment that her fathers nation gave her after his death broke her heart. Not long after, Lady Fatima passed away from her physical and emotional injuries. Her final testament to her husband Ali was for him to bathe, shroud, and bury her at night, away from the sight of those who harmed and angered her. The people of Medina heard that the Prophets daughter had passed away, so they gathered around her house. Imam Ali told them that Fatimas burial has been delayed for later. The people returned to their homes. While they were asleep, Ali bathed and shrouded his beloved wife. He sent his two sons, Hasan and Hussain, who were still young children, to invite those companions who Fatima was pleased with. Along with a handful of companions, Ali buried Fatima in the darkness of the night in an undisclosed location. According to some traditions, he dug and filled in seven graves in Baqi – and according to others forty graves – so that no one finds out where she is buried. When morning came, people realized that the Prophets daughter was already buried. They rushed to Alis house, and some even said that they will unearth her body and perform the prayers over her. Ali came out of his house wearing his coat and armor and holding his sword. He addressed them that for as long as Ali son of Abu Talib is alive and holding a sword, no one will dare do such a thing. When they saw Ali in such a state, they became frightened and took back their words.
