HADIS. About Saint Fatima Zahra (a).
On behalf of Islam Prophet (s): “Fatima is the part of my body, the light of my eyes, the fruit of my soul. Anything, which is the reason for her anger will make me angry, and anything, which makes her glad will make me glad as well. She is the first person of the Ahli-Beit who will join me”.
On behalf of Islam Prophet (s): “Fatima is the best woman of the both worlds”
On behalf of Islam Prophet (s): “Fatima is the dearest person for me of all the people”.
On behalf of Islam Prophet (s): “Fatima is the brightest star among all the women of the world”.

HADIS. About the relations with people.
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “The most righteous among you is the one who is meek and merciful in relations with people. And the most valuable among you is the one who is meek and pliant in respect of his spouse.”

HADIS. About the status of mothers.
On behalf of Saint Fatima (a): “Serve your mothers (please them) because the paradise is at their feet”.

HADIS. About Fatima’s position.
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “I dislike those who worship the earthly enjoyments”.

HADIS. About faith and righteousness.
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “The paradise is the reward for those who with friendly face meet a believer. And the protection from the torments of the hell flame is the reward for those who friendly meet those who are hostile towards evildoers.”
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “The one who sincerely prays exclusively to the Most High Allah will be honored by Allah who in return will send upon him the better conditions”.

HADIS. About the Ahli-Beit (a).
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “We (the Ahli-Beit of Allah’s Prophet (s)) are the link between Allah and his creatures; we are the chosen ones by Allah; we are the standard of purity; we are the clear signs of Allah and we are the successors of the Divine Prophets (a)”.
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “The Most High Allah ordained subjection to us (the Ahli-Beit) and following us as the obligatory condition for a public balance in the Islam umma (community); and He also determined our Imamate and our guidance as the factor of unification and of avoiding disagreements.”

HADIS. About Imam Ali (a).
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “I heard the Holiest Prophet (s) of Islam say: “Ali is the worthiest of people and I appoint him the governor among you. After me Ali (a) is your Imam and caliph as well as the father of two sons (Imam Hasan (a) and Imam Husein (a)). And nine sons of Husein’s (a) posterity are your purest, nice leaders and Imams. And if you obey them, they will direct you to the true path; but if you are hostile towards them, then up to the very Judgment Day you will be under terrors of disagreement and opposition.””
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “You may have forgotten what Allah’s Prophet (a) prescribed on the day of Gadir-Hum: “Ali is the leader of those who consider me to be their leader”?!”.
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “You may have forgotten Allah’s Prophet (s) said to Ali (a): “Oh, Ali! Your position in my respect is something like a position of /Prophet/ Harun in respect of /Prophet/ Musa”?!”.
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “Ali is the divine Imam and is the embodiment of all the glorious. He is the pole for the true believers and for the people who have perceived the depths of the faith, he is the posterity of the purest ones; he is the one who tells the truth only. He is the base and the center of Imamate. He is the father of the Prophet’s (s) two bunches of flowers, the leaders of the paradise youth – Hasan (a) and Husein (a)”.

HADIS. About the culture of a meal.
On behalf of Saint Fatima (s): “Upon a meal there are twelve nice points which are welcomed for all the Muslims. Out of them, the four are obligatory, the four are desirable and the four are the rules of good manners. The obligatory ones are: 1) To recognize the Most High Allah (that is to know that all the good is from him); 2) To consider sufficient the good given by Allah; 3) Before a meal to say “Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim”; 4) To praise (The Most High) after a meal (to say “Alhamdulillahi Rabbil-alamin” ). The four are desirable: 1) To wash oneself before a meal; 2) While sitting, the heaviness of a body should be shifted to the left side; 3) To eat in a sitting position; 4) To eat with three fingers. And the four are the manifestation of good manners: 1) To take food only (from a dish, which is) in front of you; 2) To eat small pieces; 3) To chew food well; 4) To look little into the faces of those who eat.”
