Salman El-Farsi by Sayed A. A. Razwy

Nice book on the life of Salman El-Farsi by A.A. Razwy.

Some interesting passages:
"...Badr is the most important battle in the history of Islam, and one the most important in world history. Victory in Badr guaranteed the existence of Islam." (pg 115)

"It appears that Ali was chosen expressly by Allah to be His 'instrument' of victory'. Ali was Allah's 'instrument of victory in the battle of Badr, and in every subsequent battle, and each time he brought glory, honour and victory to Islam." (pg 115-116)
There is a nice dua/prayer on pg 120 that the Holy Prophet recited at the wedding of his daughter, the Lady of Light to the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (A.S.):
"O Allah! O Sovereign of the Universe! All praise and thanks belongs to Thee. I commend Fatima and Ali, Thy loving slaves, to Thy protection. Be Thou their Protector. Be pleased with them. Show them Thy pleasure. Bestow upon them Thy boundless bounty, grace and mercy. Bestow upon them Thy best rewards. Make their marriage happy and fruitful, and make them steadfast in Thy love and in Thy service." (pg 120)"

Here is some important information about Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.):

Fatima(s.a.) The Radiant

Imam Hasan Askari(a.s.) reported that his father quoted Jabir Ibn Abdullah as saying : ' The Messenger of Allah, Peace be Upon him and his cleansed progeny, said : ' When Allah created Adam and Eve, they
strutted through paradise and said : ' Who are better than we ? ' At that moment they noticed an image of a girl like they had never seen before; from this girl came an illuminating light so bright that it almost blinded the eyes.

They said : ' O Lord, what is this ? ' He answered : ' This is the Image of Fatima(s.a.), the mistress of your women descendants. '  - Lisan Al Mizan Volume 3 page 346

Hazrat Fatima Zahra's (S.A.) other names:
  1. Az-Zahra: She was named by Allah (S.W.T), as Az-Zahra because her Holy Light used to shine among those brighter in all The Heavens. 
  2. Batool: Because of her absolute Purity attained from Paradise from The Heavens.  And also because, The Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra, is not like all the other women in the world. 
  3. Siddiqah: The Honest, The Righteous 
  4. Al-Mubarakah: The Blessed One 
  5. Al-Tahirah: The Virtuous, The Pure 
  6. Al-Zakiyah: The Chaste, The Unblemished 
  7. Al-Radhiatul Mardhiah: She who is gratified and who shall be satisfied 
  8. Al-Muhaddathah: A person other than a Prophet, that the angels speak to 
  9. Al-Zahirah: The Luminous
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.), her father, loved her very much whenever she would go to the house of her father The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) would stand up out of respect to her. Whenever he greeted her he would honor her by giving her a special place to seat herself in his house. Very often Her Father (sawaw) would softly kiss her hands and say, "Allah, The Most High; is pleased when Fatimah (A.S.) is pleased. He is angered; whenever Fatimah is angered!"

He( S.A.W.) also said: "Fatima is part of me. Whoever angered her angered me and whoever angered me angered Allah".

Probably the most important ayat revealed in Quran about the sinlessness of her and the family of the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) is the following:
"...Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying" - Sura Ahzab (33:33) translation by M.M.Shakir.
Her Birth

Sheikh Salman Hanafi writes in his book “Yanabi al-Mawadah” that at the time of birth of Hazrat Fatima (S.A.), her mother Hazrat Khadija (A.S.) called some women of Quraish for help but they all
refused because of her acceptance of Islam. Hazrat Khadija (A.S.) was worried but in a little while four women came to her and after salutation they said that she does not need to worry. They were her sisters and Allah (S.W.T.) has sent them to her in this difficult time. The first lady said that she was Sara, the wife of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S.). The second one said that she was Aasia binte Mazahim, wife of Firoun. The third said that she was Maryam binte Imran, mother of Hazrat Eisa(a.s.) and the fourth said that she was Kulsoom, the sister of Hazrat Moosa (A.S).

Nasikh-ut-Tawarikh states that Hazrat Fatima Zehra(s.a.) was born on 20th Jamadi-us-Sani on Friday early morning. The was such a lightening early morning that all houses of Makkah got lit up. Upon birth Hazrat
Fatima (S.A.) performed sajda and recited the Kalma.

'Her Prayer'

One day the Holy Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra(s.a.) was taught by her Father, the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.), a very special kind of Prayer that he himself was shown earlier by The Trusted Archangel Jibrael (A.S.).

This special After-Prayer is to be said after each time, any prayer of worship is concluded.

The Holy Lady (S.A.) in turn began to teach the short prayer to so many others that in the very short time, it became to be known as the 'Prayer of Fatimah Al-Zahra (S.A.).

The Prayer

This prayer consists of recitation as follows:
34 times ALLAHO AKBAR
33 times AL-HAMDO LILLAH
33 times SUBHAN ALLAH

Most or if not all of the Mujtahideen express a great Mustahab (preferable) as near to as Wajib (compulsory) to say this Prayer after any Prayer of Worship is concluded.
