Hadith 11

rment from the ones in your prison, from the Muslim captives, and free them from the shackles, and donate upon them and give them the desired salvation, I hope that the Messiah-as and his-as mother-as would grant me well-being’. When he had done that, there was a little health manifested from my body, and I took a little from the food. He was cheered by that and went on to honour the captives and endear them. I saw as well after fourteen nights, as if the Chieftess of the women of the worlds (Syeda) Fatima-asws had visited me and with her-asws was Maryam-as Bint Imran-as, and a thousand from the butlers of the Gardens. Maryam-as said to me: ‘This is Chieftess of the women-asws, mother-asws of your husband-asws Abu Muhammad-asws’.
