Thursday, January 9th, 2020 marks the martyrdom anniversary of
Sayyida Fatimah al-Zahra (p) according to the second narration, 13th of Jumada al-Ula, 1441 A.H.

Imam Hasan (p) is reported to have said, “On a Friday night I saw my mother, Fatimah (p) standing in her place of prayer. She was continuously bowing and performing prostration until the break of dawn. I would hear her pray for the faithful men and women, but she did not at all pray for herself. I said, ‘Oh mother, why did you not pray for yourself like you prayed for others?’ She replied, ‘Oh my son, the neighbor [first] and then the house[hold].'”

[Al-Sadooq, Ilal al-sharai, vol. 1, p. 182]

روي عن الإمام الحسن المجتبى (ع) أنّه قال: رأيت أمي فاطمة عليها السلام قامت في محرابها ليلة جمعتها فلم تزل راكعة ساجدة حتى اتضح عمود الصبح وسمعتها تدعو للمؤمنين والمؤمنات وتسميهم وتكثر الدعاء لهم ولا تدعو لنفسها بشيء، فقلت لها يا أماه لم لا تدعون لنفسك كما تدعون لغيرك؟ فقالت يا بني: الجار ثم الدار.

[الصدوق، علل الشرائع، ج ١، ص ١٨‎٢]
