The birth of al-Zahra’, Fatima  عليه السلام — report 7

7. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from Salih ibn ‘Aqaba from ‘Amr ibn Shimr from Jabir from abu Ja‘far عليه السلام who has said the following. “Once the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said to Fatima, “Rise and bring that tray.” She went and took out the tray with fresh bread and steaming meat on it. The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم , Ali, Fatima, al-Hassan and al-Husayn عليه السلام continued to have their meals from it for thirteen days. Then ’Umm Ayman saw al-Husayn with certain things with him. She asked, “Where from did you get it?” He replied, “We are having this for our meal for the past thirteen days.” ’Umm Ayman came to Fatima and said, “O Fatima, “If ’Umm Ayman would have anything it is all for Fatima and her sons but if Fatima would have anything then there is nothing in it for ’Umm Ayman. She (Fatima) then took out from the tray food for her and ’Umm Ayman ate but the food from the tray banished. The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “Had you not fed her (a non-infallible) from it you and your descendants would have had food from it up to the Day of Judgment.” Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام then said, “The tray is with us and our Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) will take it out at his time.”
