The person which exceedingly fond of
them
was Rasul the grandfather.
He would take them to the mosque
play with them, let them climb on his back
and nourished them with wisdom and words
of beauty
In the years that come

who died in infancy

Zainab that later became a heroine
and Umm Kulthum
It was only through Fatima the progeny

Fatima was busy as a mother for her
children
Fatima was also busy nursing the wounded
in several battles
preparing food in a long difficult siege
and never ceased her helping hand,
her helping soul...
maintained herself as the blissful mother
of the needy.
