Fātima (p.b.u.h) in the Qur an: A Review of the Eminence of Fātima in the Qur anic Verse, Mubāhela, from the Perspective of the Sunni Scholars

The Qur’anic verse, Mubāhela, is a testimony to the sincerity and infallibility of ‘Ali, Fātima, Hassan and Hossein, whom the Prophet Mohammad chose to take with him when Christians called for “mutual invocation of a curse” (e.g. “may God’s curse over the one who is wrong, who lies”). Most Sunni scholars confirm the fact of the selection of ‘Ali’s family, from the Muslim community of those days, for the event. Various pieces of hadith on the event of “mubāhela” (mutual cursing) have been passed on to us by 37 of great religious scholars in 51 ways. Some Sunni scholars have cast doubts on this matter but their doubts are of no scientific basis.
