فصل [ في عدد أسمائها ووجه تسميتها ] عن يونس بن ظبيان قال : قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام : لفاطمة تسعة أسماء عند الله عز وجل ، فاطمة ، والصديقة ، والمباركة ، والطاهرة ، والزكية ، والرضية ، والمرضية والمحدثة ، والزهراء ، ثم قال أتدري أي شئ تفسير فاطمة ؟

Section [on the number of her names and the reason for her naming]. From Yunus b. Zabyan, who said: Abu 'Abd Allah, peace be upon him, said: Fatima has nine names with God, mighty and exalted — Fatima, al-Siddiqa, al-Mubaraka, al-Tahira, al-Zakiyya, al-Radiyya, al-Mardiyya, al-Muhaddatha and al-Zahra. Then he said: Do you know what the interpretation of Fatima is?

قلت : أخبرني يا سيدي ، قال : فطمت من الشر ، قال : ثم قال : لولا أن أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام تزوجها ، لما كان لها كفو إلى يوم القيامة على وجه الأرض آدم فمن دونه 1 .

I said: Tell me, my master. He said: She was weaned away from evil. Then he said: Had the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, not married her, she would have had no match until the Day of Resurrection upon the face of the earth — Adam and those after him. [1]

وفي جملة من الروايات ، أنها سميت فاطمة لأنها فطمت وشيعتها من النار ، وإنما فطمت بالعلم ، وفطمت من الطمث ، وأن الخلق فطموا من معرفتها ، وأن الله فطمها وذريتها من النار من لقي الله منهم بالتوحيد والإيمان برسوله ، وأن ، الله فطم من أحبها عن النار . 2 .

And in a number of the traditions: she was named Fatima because she and her partisans were weaned away from the Fire; and that she was weaned by knowledge; and that she was weaned from menstruation; and that creation was weaned from the knowledge of her; and that God weaned her and her progeny from the Fire — whoever of them meets God professing His oneness and faith in His Messenger; and that God weaned from the Fire whoever loves her. [2]

وروي أن اسم فاطمة ، شق من اسم الله الفاطر ، وسميت الطاهرة لطهارتها من كل دنس ، وطهارتها من كل رفث ، وما رأت قط يوما حمرة ، ولا نفاسا 3 .

And it is related that the name Fatima is drawn from the name of God, al-Fatir. She was named al-Tahira for her purity from every defilement and her purity from every obscenity; and she never saw a day of blood, nor lochia. [3]
