Jabir Ibn Abdullah Al-Ansari reports from Fatima al-zahra that she said:
My Father, the Prophet of Allah, came to my house one day and said to me
“Peace be on you, Fatima”
I replied: “And upon you be peace”
Then he said: “I feel weakness in my body”
I said: “Allah protects you from weakness, father”
He said: “Fatima, please bring me the Yemenite cloak and cover me with it”
So, I brought the Yemenite cloak and covered him with it.
Then I looked at him and saw that his face was shining like the full moon with its glory and splendor
After a while, my son Hassan walked in and said: “Peace be with you, mother”
I replied: “and upon you peace, light of my eyes, and delight of my heart”
He then said: “Mother! I smell a sweet fragrance like that of my grandfather, the messenger of Allah”
I replied: “Yes, your grandfather is sitting underneath the cloak”
Hassan went near the cloak and said: “peace be on you, my grandfather, the prophet of Allah;;
May I enter the cloak with you?”
He replied: “And upon you peace, my son and the master of my fountain (kauthar),
I’ve given you permission to enter”
So, Hassan entered the cloak with him.
After a while, my son Hussein walked in and said “Peace be with you , mother”
I replied: “And upon you peace, light of my eyes, and the delight of my heart”
He then said: “Mother! I smell a sweet fragrance like that of my grandfather, the prophet of Allah”
I replied: “Yes. Your grandfather and your brother are sitting underneath the cloak”
Hussein stepped towards the cloak and said: “Peace be with you, my grandfather, the chosen of Allah; May I enter the cloak with you?”
He replied: “And upon you peace, my son and interceder of my followers, I’ve given you permission”
So, Hussein entered the cloak with them.
After a while, Abul Hassan, Ali ibn Abi Talib entered and said: “Peace be with you, daughter of the prophet”
I replied: “And upon you peace, father of Hassan, and commander of the faithful”
He then said: “Fatima! I smell a sweet fragrance like that of my brother, the prophet of Allah”
I replied: “Yes. He is underneath the cloak with your two sons”
So, Ali went near the cloak and said: “Peace be with you, Prophet of Allah; May I enter the cloak with you?”
He replied: “And upon you peace, my brother, my legatee, my successor, and my standard bearer, I’ve given you permission to enter”
So, Ali entered the cloak with them.
Then I stepped forward and said: “Peace be with you, father. Oh prophet of Allah; May I enter the cloak with you?”
He replied: “And upon you peace, my daughter, oh part of my self; you are given permission to enter”
So, I entered the cloak with them.
When all of us entered the cloak, my father, the prophet of Allah, held the two ends of the cloak
and raised his right hand towards the heavens and prayed:
"Oh Allah, these are the people of my household. They are my confidants and my supporters.
Their flesh is my flesh and their blood is my blood.
Whoever hurts them, hurts me too.
whoever displeases them, displeases me too.
I’m at war with those at war with them.
I’m at peace with those at peace with them
I’m the enemy of their enemies and I’m the friend of their friends.
They are from me and I am from them.
Oh Allah! Bestow your blessings, benevolence, forgiveness and your pleasure upon me and upon them.
And remove all blemishes from them and keep them thoroughly purified"
Then the Lord, Almighty Allah said:
“O My angels! and Residents of my Heavens
Surely, I have not created the erected sky
the stretched earth, the illuminated moon, the bright sun, the rotating planets,
the flowing seas and the sailing ships, but for the love of these five sitting underneath the cloak”
Gabriel, the trusted angle, asked: “Who are under the cloak?”
The Almighty answered" They are the household of the prophet and the assets of Prophethood.
They are: Fatima, her father, her husband and her two sons"
Gabriel said: “My Lord, May I fly to earth to be the sixth of them?”
Allah replied: “Yes. You are given permission”
So, Gabriel, the trusted landed near and said: "Peace be with you, Prophet of Allah. The Most High conveys His peace to you and greetings
and says: "by my Honor and Glory. O My Angles, and residents of my Heavens,
Surely, I have not created the erected sky
the stretched earth, the illuminated moon, the bright sun, the rotating planets,
the flowing seas and the sailing ships, but for the love of these five sitting underneath the cloak"
God has given me permission to enter the cloak with you. Would you then grant me permission to enter O Messenger of Allah?"
The prophet replied: “And peace be with you, trusted bearer of Allah’s revelation, you are granted permission”
So, Gabriel entered the cloak with us and said to my father:
"Allah sends His revelations to you
Verily, Allah’s desire is to remove blemish from you, O People of the household and purify you with a perfect purification"
Then Ali said to my father: “Oh messenger of Allah, what significance has Allah given for getting together underneath this cloak?”
The prophet replied: "By Him who rightfully appointed me a Prophet, and chose me a messenger for the salvation of mankind. Whenever and wherever an assembly of our followers and friends mention this event, Allah will bestow on them His Blessings and mercy; angles will encircle them asking Allah the remission of their sins until the assembly disperse.
So, Ali said: “Indeed, by the Lord of the Ka’baa. We and our followers are the winners”
Then my father replied: "By Him who rightfully appointed me a Prophet, and chose me a messenger for the salvation of mankind. **Whenever and wherever an assembly of our followers and friends mention this event,
there shall remain none grieved but Allah will remove his grief;
there shall remain none distressed but Allah will dispel his distress;
there shall remain non wish-seeker but Allah will grant his wish;**
So, Ali said: Indeed, by the Lord of the Ka’ba! we and our followers have achieved success and felicity in this world and the hereafter. By the Lord of the Ka’ba"
