![Ali ibn Ja’far said, I asked Abā al-Hasan (al-Kāẓim) (a) about
the [meaning of] words of Allāh: ‘a niche where there is a lamp…’ He (a) said: ‘the niche is Fāṭimah (sa), the lamp is al-Hasan (a)
and al-Husayn (a) is the glass.’ About the phrase ‘as it were a
glittering star lit’ he said: ‘Fāṭimah (sa) was like a shining star among the women of the worlds...’ and about ‘whose oil almost lights up’ he said: ‘knowledge was about to flow forth from her.’
In another similar narration, the Holy Prophet (saww) said: ‘and the light of my daughter Fāṭimah is from the light of Allah (swt).
