قالَت فاطمةُ الزَّهراء سلام الله عليها بنتِ رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله و سلم:

فَجَعَلَ اللهُ الإيمانَ تَطهِيراً لَهُم مِنَ الشِّرکِ، وَ الصَّلاةَ تَنزِيهاً لَکُم عَنِ الکِبرِ، وَ الزَّکاةَ تَزکِيةَ لِلنَّفسِ وَ نَماءً فِي الرِّزقِ، وَ الصِّيامَ تَثبِيتاً لِلإخلاصِ، وَ الحَجَّ تَشييداً لِلّدِينِ، و العَدلَ تَنسِيقاً لِلقُلُوبِ، وَ طاعَتَنا نِظاماً لِلمِلَّةِ، وَ اَمامَتَنا اَماناً مِنَ الفُرقَةِ، وَ الجِهادَ عِزَّاً لِلاِسلامِ، وَ الصَّبرَ مَعُونَةً عَلي استِيجابِ الاَجرِ، وَ الاَمرَ بِالمعَرُوفِ مَصلَحَةً لِلعامَّةِ، وَ بِرَّ الوالِدَينِ وِقايةً مِنَ السُّخطِ، وَ صِلَةَ الارحامِ مِنماةً لِلعَدَدِ، وَ القِصاصَ حِقناً لِلدِّماءِ، وَ الوَفاءَ بِالنَّذرِ تَعرِيضاً لِلمَغفِرَةِ وَ تَوفِيةَ المَکاييلِ وَ المَوازِينِ تَغييراً لِلبَخسِ، وَ النَّهي عَن شُربِ الخَمرِ تَنزِيهاً عَنِ الرِّجسِ، وَ اجتِنابَ القَذفِ حِجاباً عَنِ اللَّعنَةِ وَ تَرکَ السَّرِقَةِ اِيجاباً لِلعِفَّةِ وَ حَرَّمَ اللهُ الشِّرکَ اِخلاصاً لَهُ بَالرُّبُوبِيةِ.

“فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ حَقَّ تُقاتِهِ وَ لا تَمُوتُنَّ اِلّا وَ اَنتُم مُسلِمُونَ”

وَ اَطِيعُوا اللهَ فِيما اَمَرَ کُم بِهِ وَ نَهاکُم عَنهُ.

Avoiding from accusation as a curtain before the curse of Allah;

فاطِمَةُ بَهجَةُ قَلبِي، وَ اَبنآؤها ثَمَرَةُ فُؤادِي، وَ بَعلُها نُورَ بَصَرِي، وَ الأئِمَةِ مِن وُلدِها اُمَنآءُ رَبِّي، وَ حَبلُهُ المَمدُودُ بَينَهُ وَ بَينَ خَلقِهُ، مَنِ اعتَصَمَ بِهِم نَجا وَ مَن تَخَلَّفَ عَنهُم هَوي.
