History and the Sequence of Events which Ended in Presence Zahra'(A) Martyrdom

With the piteous demise of Prophet (pbuh), some other tragic events happened to His Holy Household. The gathering of some of Meccan emigrants and the helpers of Prophet in Saqifa was the origin of deviance in the Caliphate path. But it was not ended there, and its consequences manifested themselves as raiding the house of the most supreme lady in the world, injuring and finally martyring her. In the short interval between Saqifa' aggregation and Fatima's (pbuh) martyrdom, some events took place which were directly or in directly related to her martyrdom. Up to now several researches have been carried out about Saqifa' event and its consequences. But there has been no significant research about the history and march of events which led to her holiness Fatima's (pbuh) (Sedighe Tahere) martyrdom. Considering the fact that the historical reports have not dealt with the exact date of the mentioned events either, this paper seeks to depict a clear and realistic picture in this regard, by investigating the available historical and narrational evidence.
