Narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari
عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ عَلَيْهَا السَّلامُ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ
`an fāṭimataz zahrā-i `alayhas salāmu binti rasūlillāhi ṣallallāhu `alayhi wa ālihi qāl
From Fatima al-Zahra, peace be upon her, daughter of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings be upon him and his family, who said
سَمِعْتُ فَاطِمَةَ اَنَّهَا قَالَتْ
sami`tu fāṭimata annahā qālat
I heard Fatima say
دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ اَبِيْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِيْ بَعْضِ الْأَيَّامِ
dakhala `alayya abī rasūlullāhi fī ba`ḍil ayyām
My father, the Prophet (s) of Allah, came to my house one day and said to me:
فَقَالَ اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ
faqāla as salāmu `alayki yā fāṭimah
Peace be on you, Fatimah
فَقُلْتُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلامُ
faqultu `alaykas salām
I replied : "And upon you be peace"
قَالَ اِنِّيْ اَجِدُ فِيْ بَدَنِيْ ضُعْفًا
qāla innī ajidu fī badanī ḍu`fā
Then he said : "I feel weakness in my body"
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ اُعيذُكَ بِاللَّهِ يَا اَبَتَاهُ مِنَ الضُّعْفِ
faqultu lahu u`idhuka billāhi yā abatāhu minaḍ ḍu`f
I said : "May Allah protect you from weakness, father"
فَقَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ اِيْتِيْنِيْ بِالْكِسَاءِ الْيَمَانِيْ فَغَطِّيْنِيْ بِهِ
faqāla yā fāṭimatu ītīnī bil kisā-il yamānī faghaṭṭīnī bih
He said : "Fatimah, please bring the Yemeni cloak and cover me with it"
فَاَتَيْتُهُ بِالْكِسَاءِ الْيَمَانِيْ فَغَطَّيْتُهُ بِهِ
fa-ataytuhu bil kisā-il yamānī faghaṭṭaytuhu bih
So, I brought the Yemeni cloak and covered him with it.
وَصِرْتُ اَنْظُرُ اِلَيْهِ وَ اِذَا وَجْهُهُ يَتَلَأْلَؤُ
waṣir-tu anẓuru ilayhi wa idhā wajhuhu yatala-la-u
Then, I looked at him and saw that his face was shining
كَاَنَّهُ الْبَدْرُ فِيْ لَيْلَةِ تَمَامِهِ وَكَمَالِهِ
ka-annahul badru fī laylati tamāmihi wakamālih
like a full moon with its glory and splendor

After a while, my son Hasan came in
وَقَالَ اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا اُمَّاهُ
waqāla as salāmu `alayki yā ummāh
and said : "Peace be on you, mother"
فَقُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلامُ يَا قُرَّةَ عَيْنِيْ وَثَمَرَةَ فُؤادي

I replied : "Yes. Your grandfather and your brother are underneath the cloak"
فَدَنَى الْحُسَيْنُ نَحْوَ الْكِسَاءِ

waqāla as salāmu `alayka yā jaddāhu as salāmu `alayka yā manikhtārahullāh

falammaktamalnā jamī`an taḥtal kisā-i akhadha abī rasūlullāhi biṭarafayil kisā
Getting together underneath the cloak, my father, the Prophet (s) of Allah, held the two ends of the cloak
وَاَوْمَئَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى اِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَ

Then the Lord, Almighty Allah said :
