Peace be upon you, teacher.
Is it true that Imam Ali (AS) had several other wives while he was married to Lady Fatima? Did Imam Ali marry Lady Umm al-Banin before or after Lady Fatima’s martyrdom?
Thank you.
Imam Ali’s (AS) marriage to Umm al-Banin (SA) took place after the martyrdom of Lady Fatima (SA). To claim that Imam Ali (AS) had another wife while he was married to Lady Fatima (SA) is a grave accusation against the Imam. He was the true match of Lady Fatima, and no one could enter the sphere of attraction between them.
A grievous slander against our peerless master, Amir al-Mu’minin (peace be upon him).
The Alid pole, together with the Fatimid pole, gave rise to the great magnetism of existence. Ali (peace be upon him), the true equal of Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her), embodied the profound balance of creation, the finest expression of love and mercy, and the supreme model of existence.
No one had the means, power, or courage to enter the vast magnetic sphere of the two seas, Ali and Fatima (peace be upon them both).
His marriage to Lady Umm al-Banin (peace be upon her) took place after the martyrdom of al-Siddiqa al-Kubra (peace be upon her).
