Must Read This Real Heart Touching Story Of Hazrat Fatima (رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا) Hazrat Ibne Abbas reports that once Hazrat Ali (رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہہ) irrigated a garden throughout the night and he got some barley as wages. From that barley, Hazrat Fatima(رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا) ground it and prepared their meal. When they intended to eat, a needy person knocked at the door and said, I am hungry. Hazrat Fatima(رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا) gave all the food to that poor person and prepared their meal again from more barley. She(رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا) had hardly finished preparing it, when an orphan appealed to them for help and all the food was donated to him too. She(رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا) then began to ground the remaining barley and prepare the food again, when a polytheist captive asked for food in the way of Allah. Again, Hazrat Fatima(رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا) donated all the food to him and all the family members remained hungry. Allah Subhanahu Wataala was so much pleased at this noble gesture that he revealed this verse in favour of this holy family: “And they feed, for the love of Him, the poor, the orphan and the prisoner.” (Holy Qur’an - Al-Dahr, 29:8) Once, an old man from the Banu Sulaim tribe embraced Islam. Rasulallah (صلّی اللہ علیہ وآلہِ وسلّم) asked him, “Do you have any fortune?”. He submitted, “By Allah. I am the poorest one among the three thousand people of Banu Sulaim.” Rasulallah (صلّی اللہ علیہ وآلہِ وسلّم) glanced at his Companions and said, “Who will help this poor person? Hazrat Saad bin Ubadah stood up and said, “O Messenger of Allah! I have a dromedary (camel) which I give him. Rasulallah (صلّی اللہ علیہ وآلہِ وسلّم) said, “Who is there among you to cover his head? Hazrat Ali stood and put his turban on the head of that bedouin. Rasulallah (صلّی اللہ علیہ وآلہِ وسلّم) then asked, “Who will arrange food for him?” Hazrat Salman Farsi took the bedouin along with him and went to arrange food for him. He asked from some people but received nothing from them. At last, he knocked at the door of Sayyidah Fatimas house. ”Who is it?” she inquired. Hazrat Salman Farsi narrated to her the whole story and submitted, “O daughter of the true Messenger of Allah! Arrange some food for this poor man, please.” Tears filled her blessed eyes, and Hazrat Fatima(رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا) replied, “O Salman, by Allah! We have been starving for the last three days, and both children have slept hungry but I will not let you go empty handed. Take my shawl to Shamoon, the Jew and ask him to keep the shawl of Fatima the daughter of Muhammad (صلّی اللہ علیہ وآلہِ وسلّم) and give something to this poor man.” Hazrat Salman took that bedouin along with him to the house of that Jew and told him the entire story. Startled by this news, he cried out “O Salman! By God, these are the people about whom the Torah has informed us about. Be my witness, I believe in the father of Fatima!” He then gave some grain to Hazrat Salman for the poor man, and also returned the shawl to Sayyidah Fatima(رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا).
