Everyone fasted in the house of Hazrat Ali. The two young children of Hazrat Fatima also fasted. The time of Maghrib is about to come. And all of them pray with tears in their eyes. Hazrat Fatima finished her prayers and went home. Go and make four loaves, there is no more grain in the house. She placed the first loaf in front of her husband Ali. The second loaf in front of his eldest son Hassan.
The third loaf in front of his youngest son Hussain. And he put the fourth loaf in front of him. The call to prayer started in Masjid-e-Nabawi. Everyone started fasting with bread. But friends, it was Fatima who ate half of the bread and started tying half of the bread with a dupatta. Hazrat Ali saw this and said, “O Fatima, you are not hungry. There is only one loaf of bread. You are tying half of it in a dupatta.”
Fatima said !! O Ali, it may be that my father Jan (Muhammad) did not get anything in Iftar, how can a daughter whose father has not eaten anything eat ??
Fatima tied bread in her dupatta and walked away
On the other hand, our Prophet was coming after Maghrib prayers
Seeing Hazrat Fatima standing at the door, he calls her Hazrat. O Fatima, how are you at the door? Fatima said: O Messenger of Allah, take me inside.
There were tears in the eyes of Hazrat Fatima. He said that when he ate Iftar bread, he remembered that he may not have eaten it. Therefore, you have brought half a loaf of bread tied with a dupatta. Seeing the bread, tears came to the eyes of our Prophet and he said, “O Fatima, what good is it to bring bread, otherwise the fourth night would have gone out in the same condition of your father!
The two look at each other and start crying. Allah’s Apostle asked for bread, Fatima said Baba Jan will feed the bread with her own hands today then she started feeding with her own hands! The bread ran out and Hazrat Fatima started crying. The Holy Prophet saw and said, “Why is Fatima crying now?” He said, “Father, what will happen tomorrow?” Who will come to feed tomorrow ?
