وجلالي لأجعلن ثواب تسبيحكم ، وتقديسكم إلى يوم القيمة لمحبي هذه المرأة ، وأبيها ، وبعلها ، وبنيها ( 8 ) .

and My majesty, I shall surely make the reward of your glorification and your sanctification, until the Day of Resurrection, for those who love this woman and her father and her husband and her sons. (8)

ومن أسمائها أيضا الحصان ، الحرة ، السيدة ، العذراء ، الحوراء ، مريم الكبرى ، والبتول 9 .

Among her names also are al-Hasan (the chaste), al-Hurra (the free), al-Sayyida (the mistress), al-'Adhra' (the virgin), al-Hawra' (the houri), Maryam al-Kubra (the greater Mary), and al-Batul. [9]

وروي في معنى البتول ، أنها التي لم تر حمرة قط ، أي لم تحض ، وبها سميت مريم أم عيسى عليهما السلام ، وقيل البتل القطع ، وسميت فاطمة البتول ، لانقطاعها عن نساء زمانها فضلا ودينا وحسبا ، وقيل لانقطاعها عن الدنيا إلى الله تعالى وقيل لأنها بتلت عن النظير 10 .

It is related concerning the meaning of al-Batul that she is the one who never saw blood — that is, she did not menstruate — and that it was by this that Maryam, the mother of 'Isa, peace be upon them, was named. It has been said that al-batl is severance, and that Fatima was named al-Batul for her being set apart from the women of her time in excellence, in religion and in lineage; and it has been said, for her being cut off from the world towards God Most High; and it has been said, because she was set apart as having no peer. [10]

وقال ابن شهرآشوب في مناقب : وصح في الأخبار ، لفاطمة عشرون اسما كل اسم يدل على فضيلة ، ذكرها ابن بابويه في كتاب مولد فاطمة عليها السلام 11 .

Ibn Shahrashub said in the Manaqib: It is established in the reports that Fatima has twenty names, each name indicating a virtue; Ibn Babawayh mentioned them in the book of the birth of Fatima, peace be upon her. [11]

[ فصل في كناها ] وإما كناها صلوات الله عليها ، فأم الحسن وأم الحسين وأم المحسن وأم الأئمة وأم أبيها وأم المؤمنين وهذه الكنية تكون في زيارتها وفي المناقب يقال لها في السماء : النورية ، السماوية ، الحانية .

[Section on her kunyas.] As for her kunyas, God's blessings be upon her: Umm al-Hasan, Umm al-Husayn, Umm al-Muhassin, Umm al-A'imma, Umm Abiha, and Umm al-Mu'minin — this last kunya occurring in her ziyara. And in the Manaqib it is said that she is called in heaven al-Nuriyya, al-Samawiyya, al-Haniya.

أقول : الحانية المشفقة على زوجها وأولادها .

I say: al-Haniya is she who is tender towards her husband and her children.

أما شفقتها على زوجها ، فيكفي في ذلك أن ما وصل إليها من الضرب والإهانة وكسر الضلع وأثر السوط على عضدها كالدملج مما يجئ تفصيلها إنشاء الله تعالى . ( 1 ) إرشاد ص 403 - بحار ج 43 ص 17 .

As for her tenderness towards her husband, it is enough in that to recall what came upon her of beating and humiliation, the breaking of the rib, and the mark of the whip upon her arm like an armlet — the details of which will come, God Most High willing. (1) Irshad, p. 403; Bihar, vol. 43, p. 17.
