Refuting the Fitnah Mongers : Part 1
1. Question :
In the books of Ahlul-Sunnah the Prophet (s) tells Fatima (ra) that she will be the first member of his family (Ahlul-Bayt) who will die after him [Refer Sahih Bukhari, Vol 5, Book 57, Hadith 62], but as per the Shia reports, the first who died is her unborn child Mohsin, so which one is right ?
Another narration
Sulaym ibn Qais has quoted Abdullah ibn Abbas, when Jabir ibn Abdullah [al-Ansari] was sitting beside him, saying that the Prophet ﷺ said to Ali ع at the conclusion of a lengthy sermon :
“Quraysh
will revolt against all of you, and they will be unanimous in oppressing you. So, if you find supporters, you should fight them. But if you do not find supporters,hold your hand away and do not shed your blood. Martyrdom is behind you, and may Allah condemn your killer”
Then Prophet ﷺ faced his daughter and said
“You will be the first to join me from among my Ahl al-Bayt, and you are the Head of the
Women of Paradise. You will face oppression and malice, so much so that you will be hit, and one of your ribs will be broken; may Allah condemn your killer"
Cited from the book of Sulaym ibn Qais (edited by al-Ansari), Vol 2, pg 907
Is Fatima the first to follow him from his Ahlul-bayt as stated in the authentic narrations or is Muhassin the first to follow him? A clear contradiction. Which shows that the Shia narrative is fabricated and unreliable
Reply :
“You will be the first to join me from among my Ahlulbayth"
Let us here focus on the term AHLULBAYTH
It is unanimously agreed by both Shia and Sunni school of thought that this term (Ahlulbayth) is used specially for these 5 individuals
1. Holy Prophet ﷺ
2. Imam Ali ع
3. Sayyidah Fatimah (sa)
4. Imam Hasan ع
5. Imam Husayn ع
Also known as Ahl al Kisa (the people of the cloak)
We state the following narration to proove that the term Ahlulbayth refers to these 5 individuals :
Sahih Muslim, Kitab Al-Fada'il Al-Sahabah (The Book Pertaining to the Merits of the Companions of the Holy Prophet), Ch. 9: "The Merits of the Family of the Prophet"
Aysha reported that Allah's Apostle ﷺ went out one morning wearing a striped cloak of the black camel's hair that there came Hasan b. Ali. He wrapped him under it, then came Husain and he wrapped him under it along with the other one (Hasan). Then came Fatima and he took her under it, then came 'Ali and he also took him under it and then said:
إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّـهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا
"Allah only desires to take away any uncleanliness from you, O people of the householdand (AHLULBAYTH) purify you (thorough purifying)
Surah Ahzab, verse 33
One can see that the author of Sahih Muslim confirms that:
1. Imam Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn are the Ahlul-Bayt
2. The purification sentence in Qur’an (the last sentence of Verse 33:33) was revealed for the virtue of the above-mentioned individuals, and NOT for the wives of the Prophet ﷺ. Muslim (the Author) did not put any other tradition in this section (section of the virtues of Ahlul-Bayt). If the author of Sahih Muslim believed that the wives of the Prophet were included in Ahlul-Bayt, he would have quoted some traditions about them in this section.
It is interesting to see that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ is the narrator of the above tradition, and she herself is testifying that Ahlul- Bayt are the above-mentioned individuals (ie. Imam Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn)
Numerous Sunni scholars agree that the Ahlulbayth refers to these 5 individuals itself

Majma’ al-Zawa’id, by al-Haythami, v9, p166
Thus we can conclude that the Holy Prophet ﷺ explicitly mentioned that the term AHLULBAYTH is ONLY for the people of the Cloak (Ahl al Kisa) (and not for Janab e Mohsin in general) and thus the prophecy of the Holy Prophet ﷺ still remains true, because after the martydom of Holy Prophet ﷺ, it was Sayyidah Fatimah (sa) (the Ahlulbayth from the cloak incident) who achieved martydom
2. Question :
If Hazrat Muhsin died then why Prophet Muhammad didn't informed Hazrat Fatema Zahra about him, like he informed about the tragedy of Karbala ?
Reply :
The incident of the Burning Door, and the miscarriage of Janab e Mohsin ع was even foretold to Rasoolallah ﷺ when he ascended to the heavens on the night of Mer'aj
Allah said to Holy Prophet ﷺ :
"As for your Daughter ie : Fatimah (sa), she will be oppressed and deprived. The rights that you gave her will be usurped. She will be beaten while being PREGNANT. Her holiness will be violated. Her house will be entered against her will. Then she will be disgraced and dishonored. She will have no one to protect her. She will MISCARRY due to being beaten and will die as a result of that beating"
Kamil al Ziyarat (eng), chp 107, h 10, pg 487
Holy Prophet ﷺ foretold the incident of BURNING DOOR and the martydom of Janab e Mohsin ع to Sayyidah Fatima (sa) :
Holy Prophet ﷺ said :
“ O Fatima! Will you bear all the hardships in store for you with patience ? Your belongings will be grabbed, the Door of Imamat will be demolished, MOHSIN WILL BE MARTYRED. You shall be the witness to the hardships inflicted by his enemies on Ali ع ”

An unbiased view of the various references from Sunnah and history recorded by scholars and historians across eras and sects (viz. Ahle Tasannun and Shia) should make it obvious to those seeking the truth that Janab e Mohsin Ibn Ali ع was martyred by the mob which attacked Fatima Zahra (sa)
3. Question :
Why didn't Ali came out of the house to answer the gathering, why only Fatima came, even though Ali was present in the house
Reply :
Imam Mohammed al Baqir ع said :
"After the martydom of Holy Prophet ﷺ , Imam Ali ع promised himself that he would remain confined to the house until he had collected the Quran"
Tafseer-e-Furaat-e-Kufi, pg 398-399 narrated from Imam Muhammed Baqir ع , which has been recorded by Ibne Nadeem in his book Al-Fehrist, pg 30
Behaar al-Anwaar, vol 23, pg 249
Also in vol 28, pg 227, h 14 narrating from Tafseer al Ayyashi
This was the sole reason why Maula Ali ع didn't came out of the house. By the time he had collected the Holy Quran, the oppressors started showing their animosity towards the Ahlulbayth ع by burning their blessed house
We can also find that even though when the Holy Prophet ﷺ was present in His house, at many instances, His ﷺ wives used to attend the door (one can refer 'al-ehtejaj' volume 1, pg 197)
So we ask the same question to the Nasibi's :
"Why didn't Rasoolallah ﷺ came out of the house to attend the door, why only the wives came to attend the door, even though Holy Prophet ﷺ was present in the house ??"
Here we state an another example from the most AUTHENTIC book of Ahlus Sunnah :
'Sahih Bukhari' (eng version), volume 6, book 60, h 352
In book reference 'Sahih Bukhari' 4827, book 65, h 349
Narrated Yusuf bin Mahak :
"Marwan had been appointed as the governor of Hijaz by Muawiya He delivered a sermon and mentioned Yazid bin Muawiya so that the people might take the oath of allegiance to him as the successor of his father ( Muawiya ) Then 'Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr' told him something whereupon Marwan ordered that he be arrested . But Abdur - Rahman entered Aisha's house and they could not arrest him . Marwan said , " It is he ( Abdur Rahman ) about whom Allah revealed this Verse -- " And the one who says to his parents : ' Fie on you ! Do you hold out the promise to me .. ? " On that , ' Aisha said from behind a screen , " Allah did not reveal anything from the Qur'an about us except what was connected with the declaration of my innocence ( of the slander )"
Here again, we ask the Nasibi's the same question :
"Why didn't Abdur Rahman ibn Abu Bakr came out of the house to answer the gathering, why only Aysha came, even though Abdur Rahman ibn Abu Bakr was present in the house ??"
4. Question :
Doesn’t this seem to be strange that an unborn child has a name before he was born and that his parents even knew he was a boy? How this can be possible at that time ?
Reply :
Holy Prophet ﷺ named the UNBORNED child "Mohsin" and it is even mentioned in your books
A) Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal says :
"The Prophet ﷺ named the unborn child of Fatima (sa) "Mohsin"
ibn Hanbal in Fadha'il al-Sahaba, Volume 2, pg 774, Tradition 1365
Al-Hakim in his book 'al-Mustadrak', Volume 3, pg 165, 168
B) Sunni scholar Al-Kanji al-Shafi’i has cited Shaikh Mufid, saying :
"Fatima (sa) miscarried a boy after the demise of the Prophet ﷺ , one who had been named by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as Muhsin"
Kifayat al-Talib, pg 413
C) Imam Ali ع said :
"Allah's Messenger ﷺ had named Fatimah’s (sa) child Mohsin before he was born"
Al-Kafi, volume 6, pg 14, h 2
Al-Khisaal (eng), pg 1045
Bihar al Anwaar (eng), v 10, pg 156
Authentication of this hadith :
1. Allamah Mohammed Taqi Majlisi says in 'Rawdhatul Muttaqeen, v 8, pg 625 :
'It is Qawi (Strong)'
2. Syed Hashim Hashimi saiys in Hiwaar Ma'a Fadhullah, pg 314 :
'The chain of this narration is SAHIH (Authentic)'
3. Shaykh Ali Kurani says in 'al-Intisaar' , v 7, pg 223 :
'The chain of this narration is SAHIH (Authentic)'
