وفاة فاطمة الزهراء


Ziyarat of Lady Fatima on martyrdom day

يَا مُمْتَحَنَةُ


O carefully examined (lady):

ٱمْتَحَنَكِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكِ


Allah Who created you had tried you

قَبْلَ انْ يَخْلُقَكِ


before He created you (for this worldly life),

فَوَجَدَكِ لِمَا ٱمْتَحَنَكِ صَابِرَةً


and thus He found you successfully enduring in that trial.

وَزَعَمْنَا انَّا لَكِ اوْلِيَاءٌ وَمُصَدِّقُونَ


We claim being loyalists to you, believers in you,

وَصَابِرُونَ لِكُلِّ مَا اتَانَا بِهِ ابُوكِ


and tolerant as regards all that which has been conveyed to us by your father,

صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ


peace of Allah be upon him and his Household,

وَاتَىٰ بِهِ وَصِيُّهُ


and all that which his Successor has brought to us.

فَإِنَّا نَسْالُكِ إِنْ كُنَّا صَدَّقْنَاكِ


We, thus, ask you, if we have really believed you,

إِلاَّ الْحَقْتِنَا بِتَصْدِيقِنَا لَهُمَا


that you may include us with those who believe in both of them (i.e. the Holy Prophet and Imam `Ali),

لِنُبَشِّرَ انْفُسَنَا بِانَّا قَدْ طَهُرْنَا بِوِلايَتِكِ


so that we may feel happy that we have been purified on account of our loyalty to you.
