It is the Wafat of Sayyida Ummulbanin ( pbuh) – besides being the Mum to 4 awesome sons including H Abbas, she was a phenomenal poet.

A main feature of her poems was to raise awareness of the then political events. After the event of
Karbala, she was able to convey the message of Ashura to future generations; and awaken people to the truth.
1. She was the first person to compose and recite marthiya and nawha for Imam Husayn (pbuh) as soon as she got the news about ‘Ashura in Madina.
2. She was the first one to gather the women and do a majlis for Imam Husayn (pbuh) in Madina like Sayyida Zaynab (pbuh) did in Damascus
3. If you are stuck with a problem, recite 100 salawat and dedicate them to Ummulbanin. Ask Allah with her waseela to remove your difficulties.

THE TASBEE OF SAYYIDA FATIMA ZAHRA (pbuh)

It all Started Before Allah created Adam (pbuh).  The Angels Were Trying To Move The Arsh (Throne) Of Allah But It Was Too Heavy And Wouldn’t Budge.
So They Asked Him For Help. Allah Told Them To Recite “Subhanallah.”
The Angels Did As They Were Told And Found That it Gave Them  Power And  Strength  And  They  Were  Able  To  Move  The  Arsh.
They Liked This So Much That They Began Constantly repeating “Subhanallah.”- (Glory be to Allah)
 
Then  Allah  Created Adam (pbuh). When  Allah  Blew  Life  into  Adam. The  First  Thing  He  Did  Was  Sneeze  And  Say “Alhamdulillah” (All parise be to Allah) The Angels  Liked  It  So  Much  That  They  Added  This  To  Their   Glorification of Allah. Thus  it  Became “Subhanallah Walhamdulillah”
 
Hundreds  Of  Years  Passed  And  The Prophet Nuh (pbuh) Was  Now  On  Earth. For Nine Hundred  Years  He  Proclaimed  The  Oneness  Of  Allah  With  The  Words “La illaha illalah.”
The  Angels  Loved  This  Act  So  Much  That  They  Added  This . Thus, it  Became “Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Wa La illaha illalah.”
The  Angels  Kept  Repeating This  Day And Night.
 
Many  Centuries  Passed  And  Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh)  Was  Asked  By  Allah To Sacrifice  His   Son Ismail (pbuh) He  Was  About To  Sacrifice  His  Son  And  He Needed  Something  To Give  Him  The  Courage  He  Needed  To  Do  This  Difficult Deed. So  He  Recited “Allahu Akbar.” (Allah is Great) The  Angels  Loved  This  Act  So  Much  That They  Added  This.
Thus   It  Became “Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Wa La illaha illalah Allahu Akbar.”
 
More  Centuries  Passed.  It  Was  The  Night  Of Mi’raj, When  Rasulullah (pbuh) Ascended  To  The  Heavens  With JibraIl.  There  Jibrail told Rasulullah (pbuh) the story and added the final part –  “Wala Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illah Billahil Aliyyil Azheem.” 
 
Thus  it Now  Became Subhanallahi Walhamdulillahi Wa La illaha illalahu WAllahu Akbar Wala Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illa Billahil Aliyyil Azheem” 
 
And  Up  To  This  Day,  Its recitation  Buzzes  Around  The Arsh  Of  Allah and It became the tasbee of Sayyida Fatima Zahra (pbuh).

In the Hadith of the A’immah (pbuh) there is a great deal of emphasis on reciting this effective tasbih of Fatima Zahra (pbuh).
Perhaps one of the secrets behind the merits of reciting this tasbih is from a hadith in which we are told that a man came to Imam Sadiq (pbuh) and asked: What is the secret behind the Ka’ba having four rukn (corners) and it being cubic square (in shape)?”
The Imam (pbuh) replied, “It is because the baitul Ma’mur has four rukn.” The person then asked, “Why does the Baitul Ma’mur has four rukn?” The Imam (pbuh) said, “Because the ‘Arsh has four rukn.”
Imam (pbuh) continued:
…every Arsh is dependent upon (or made firm by) the rukn (as its supports). The first of these is Allahu Akbar; the second is Subhanallah; the third is Alhamdulillah and the fourth is La Ilaha Illallah.
This hadith also means that whatever is in this material world has a secret which is linked to the spiritual realms.

A CURE FOR ALL AILMENTS
One of many ahadith…..
A man went to Imam Sadiq (pbuh) for help . Even though the Imam (pbuh) was speaking to him, he could not hear what Imam (pbuh) was saying. The man complained of ear ache
Imam (pbuh) told him, “Recite ‘Allahu Akbar’ 34 times; ‘Alhamdulillah’ 33 times and ‘Subhanallah’ 33 times as this makes a complete 100 (rememberances),
His earache was cured after a short time.

It is the wafat is she who is the link between Nabuwwa and Imama
and then there is Fatima whom the Qur’an refers to as ‘Kawthar’ (abundance of goodness).

IMAM ALI’S SOUL MATE
When describing their marriage, he said; “We lived like two pigeons in a cocoon.’
At her death said – “I placed you in your grave but you will always exist in my heart – My sorrow is eternal and my nights sleepless without any peace – If I leave you it is not that I do not want to stay near you and if I stay here have I not been unfair to the fate that Allah promises for those with patience.”
“O Binte Muhammad, with whom shall I console myself. Every meeting between 2 souls is followed by separation. Everything other than separation is little. My loss of Fatima is proof that no soul mate lasts forever…

AND SHE SAID…..
UHIBBU ILAYYA MIN DUNYAKUMA THALAATHAA ( from your world I love 3 things)
1. Kitaabullah 55,56,57 ( The book of Allah especially suras Rahman, Waaqia and Hadeed)
2. Infaaq fiy sabilillah ( giving in the way of Allah)
3. An nazhara ‘alaa wajhiy Rasulullah ( looking at the face of the Prophet)

When the 5th Imam was ill with a fever
His companion Abu Baseer saw him dip hand in water – place it on his forehead and say
YAA UMMAH ( O my Mother) 
YAA FATIMA BINT MUHAMMAD
AGHITHINIY (I plead to you to help me)
