Explaining the status of Istifa1 for Fatima based on Quranic verses and narratives

Based on revelations in quranic verses and narrations from Imams and Ahl-Ul Beit3and shared hadiths between Shias and Sunnis, Almighty Allah has bequeathed the status of Istifa to prophet’s offspring and members of his prophet. Numerous verses in the holy book of Quran have been revealed to the prophet of Islam testifying this appointment. Some examples are Mobahele verse, Tathir verse, Istifa of Holy Mary verse, the inheritor of the book verse, and two Surats al-Kowsar and Al-Insan. Oftentimes, the holy prophet of Islam attempted to clarify this appointment in his quotes such as Thaghalein hadith, Safine hadith, the wrath and pleasure of Fatima Hadith and Bezaton Menni hadith. A thorough look at the verses and hadiths clearly unveils the fact that members of the prophet’s house including fatima (his one and only child) are all granted the status of being chosen by Almighty Allah. This issue assumes particular significance when one considers the lofty status of Fatima in the universe and her appintment by Almighty Allah and when one compares this status with her contemporaries and wives of the prophet.
