43 / 43 - حدثني أبو الحسين محمد بن هارون بن موسى التلعكبري قال : حدثني أبي قال : حدثني أبو علي محمد بن همام بن سهيل قال : روى أحمد بن محمد بن البرقي عن أحمد بن محمد الأشعري القمي عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي نجران عن عبد الله بن سنان عن ابن مسكان عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد ع قال : ولدت فاطمة ع في جمادى الآخرة يوم العشرين منه سنة خمس وأربعين من مولد النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله). وأقامت بمكة ثمان سنين وبالمدينة عشر سنين وبعد وفاة أبيها خمسة وسبعين يوما . وقبضت في جمادي الآخرة يوم الثلاثاء لثلاث خلون منه سنة إحدى عشرة من الهجرة . وكان سبب وفاتها أن قنفذا مولى عمر لكزها بنعل السيف بأمره فأسقطت محسنا ومرضت من ذلك مرضا شديدا ولم تدع أحدا ممن آذاها يدخل عليها . وكان الرجلان من أصحاب النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) سألا أمير المؤمنين أن يشفع لهما إليها فسألها أمير المؤمنين ع فأجابت فلما دخلا عليها قالا لها : كيف أنت يا بنت رسول الله ؟ قالت : بخير بحمد الله . ثم قالت لهما : ما سمعتما النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) يقول : " فاطمة بضعة مني فمن آذاها فقد آذاني ومن آذاني فقد آذى الله " ؟ قالا : بلى . قالت : فوالله لقد آذيتماني . قال : فخرجا من عندها وهي ساخطة عليهماSource: Dala'il al-Imamah, Sheikh Muhammad bin Jarir Tabari, Page 134,
Narrated from Abul Hussain Muhammad b. Haroon b. Musa al Tala'kabari, from my father, from Abu Ali Muhammad b. Hammam b. Suhail from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid al Barqi from Ahmad b. Muhammad al Asha'ri al Qumi, from Abdur Rahman b. abi Najran, from Abdullah b. sinan, from ibn Muskan, from abi Basir, from Abi Abdillah Ja'far b. Muhammad (as), who said:
Fatima was born on the 20th of Jamadiul Akhir, when the Prophet (pbuh) was 45 years old. She resided in Mecca for 8 years, and in Medina for 10 years. She lived for 75 days after the death of the Prophet (pbuh). She died on the 3rd of Jamadi al Thani, 11 AH. The cause of her death was that Qunfuz, the slave of Umar, struck her with the handle of his sword as per Umar's order, which caused the miscarriage of her unborn son Muhsin and she became extremely sick. She did not allow anyone from her oppressors to approach her. The two men (who had oppressed her) were from the companions of the Prophet (pbuh). They requested Ali (as) to intercede to Fatima for them. Ali (as) asked her and she replied (granting them permission to talk to her). So when they approached her, they (audaciously) asked her: “How are you, O daughter of the Prophet (pbuh)?” She replied: “I am fine, by the grace of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى.” Then she confronted them: “Had you both not heard the Prophet (pbuh) say: Fatima is a part of me, whoever angers her angers me, and whoever angers me angers Allah??” They said: “Indeed.” She said: “So by Allah you have angered me."
The chain of narrators is all reliable people. The only issue in the chain is Abul-Hussain Muhammad bin Haroon bin Musa Tala'kabari. He is not mentioned as reliable in any major books of rijal, however there are many things which point to him being reliable.
Firstly, lets look at the chain of narrators. The chain goes Sheikh Muhammad bin Jarir Tabari - Haroon bin Musa Tala'kabari - Haroon bin Musa Tala'kabari. Haroon bin Musa was a well known Sheikh and narrator of hadith.
So we have established that there is a link between Muhammad bin Haroon and the compiler of this hadith.
الشيخ غلام رضا عرفانيان في كتابه ( مشايخ الثقات - ص 35) وقال:
وهو من مشايخ أبي جعفر محمد بن جرير الطبري فقد أكثر الرواية عنه في كتابه دلائل الإمامة
Sheikh Gholam-Ridha Irfanian in his book "Mashayikh at-Thiqat - Page 35" said:
And he (Muhammad bin Haroon) is from the Sheikh's of Abi Ja'far Muhammad bin Jarir Tabari and most of the narrations from him are in his book Dala'il al-Imamah.
Secondly, we have many praises of Muhammad bin Haroon present in our books. For example Najashi, who narrated from him, said "rahimahullah," (May Allah have mercy on him) after mentioning his name (Rijal Najashi Page 79). Sayed al-Khoei also when mentioning Muhammad bin Haroon in his book Mu'ajam Rijal says he is "Fadhil," (eminent (Mu'ajam Rijal al-Khoei, Volume 22, Page 97). Considering all this, although this does not make the narration Sahih (authentic, as in very authenticated), it does at least make it Qawwi (strong), because this person is not as unknown, we already know he was eminent, and possibly a contemporary of an-Najashi, maybe even one of his teachers. Certain scholars, like Muhammad al-Jawahiri in his al-Mufid min Ilm ar-Rijal, have said that this narrator is majhool, however I feel that the previous two points cover this up, and show that he isn't unknown despite being without tawtheeq.
Finally, although the narration is already strong thanks to the previous two proofs, we also have a third evidence, that many scholars believe that Muhammad bin Haroon was among the teachers (mashayikh) of Najashi.
الذريعة - آقا بزرگ الطهراني - ج 22 - ص 332قال :
المناقب " يروى عن محمد بن هارون بن موسى التلعكبري الذي هو من مشايخ النجاشي.
Aqa Bozorg Tehrani says in ad-Dhuriy'a, Volume 22, Page 332
al-Manaqib: He narrated from Muhammad bin Harun bin Musa Tala'kabari, he who was from the teachers of an-Najashi
Sayed al-Khoei states that all of the teachers of Najashi are reliable in his book Mu'ajam ar-Rijal (Volume 1, Pages 50-51). So this would make Muhammad bin Haroon automatically reliable.
This is a clear hadith which proves that Fatimah (sa) was killed on the order of Umar (la). The hadith is Qawwi or Sahih (strong or authentic), depending if you're taking the majority stance or that of our scholars who say that Muhammad bin Haroon was among the teachers of Najashi or the other, more founded opinion. This is the most clear hadith we have proving the suffering of our lady Fatimah az-Zahra (sa). May Allah curse the killers of Fatimah az-Zahra.
