بسم الله الرّحمن الرحيم
The position of Janabe Zahra (s.a.) is way higher than just being virtuous.
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) says:
‘Surely, Allah is happy when Fatemah is happy and angry when Fatemah is angry’
(Ref: Behar ul Anwaar vol 30, page 353; Mustadrak Haakim, vol 3, pg 154; Mo’ajam al Kabeer vol 22, page 401; Sahih Bukhari vol 5, page 83)
This tradition makes it clear that the status of Janabe Zahra (s.a.) is much superior to just being virtuous because chastity means that every action of a person— his contentment or discontentment, happiness and anger is as per Allah’s wish. He’s content in Allah’s pleasure and angry in Allah’s anger. His actions are a reflection of Allah’s wish. But, this isn’t the case with Janabe Zahra (s.a.) because here Allah is pleased with what Janabe Fatemah Zahra (s.a.) is pleased with and angered with what she is angered.
It’s impossible to get true recognition of (marefat) Janabe Zahra (s.a.)
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) says:
‘Fatemah was named Fatemah because the entire creation was hopeless in recognising her’
(Behar Al Anwar, vol 43, page 65)
The words of the tradition are worthy of focusing deeper. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) has emphasised on ‘entire creation’ which barring Allah, includes not only people but even the honourable, the carrier of divine revelation, trustworthy of Allah, Janabe Jibraeel, Izraael, other angels in the proximity, the Greater Prophets, the Noble Messengers and the vicegerents, all are included in this.
How great must be that pious being who even the trustworthy Jibraeel cannot fully understand. Even the Prophets (a.s.) too cannot gain her true recognition. This that great being who can only be understood by Allah.
In this regard, let’s look at his narration. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) told Janabe Zahra (s.a.):
“When the representatives of Allah will settle in rows (during the Day of Judgement) at that moment Adam (a.s.) and other prophets will come for your visitation.”
(Behar ul Anwaar, vol 43, page 22).
How great is this status! Indeed, what super eminent exaltation it is for all the Prophets (a.s.) to stand in rows and call on Janabe Fatemah Zahra (s.a.). The mind fails to grasp the prominence Allah has conferred upon this great Lady.
Surely, none can perceive the greatness of the Lady who will have Prophets (a.s.) lining up to call on her in paradise. As it is the minds fail to fathom the status of Prophets (a.s.) so how is it possible to realize the position of one who will be visited by rows of Prophets (a.s.)?
