Fatima (p.b.u.h) inthe Qur'an: A Review of the
Eminece of Fatima in the Qur'anic Verse, Mubahela, from the Perspective of the Sunni Scholars
Mohammad Ya'qoob Bashavi
The Qur'anic verse, Mubahela, is a testimony to the sincerity and infallibility of 'Ali, Fatima, Hassan ad 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 wron, who is lies"). Most Sunni scholars confirm the fact of the selection of 'Ali's family, from the Muslim community of those days, fro the event. Various pieces of hadith on the event of "mubahela" (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 doubt are of no scientific basis.
