Editing Fatima (section)

==Hagiography==
Hagiographical material on Fatima is much more ample. Whereas Sunni authors emphasized her perfectly “orthodox” virtues, in particular her rank as the daughter of the Prophet, her ascetic life, and her exemplary piety, <ref>Abu’l-Nasr, pp. 72 ff.</ref> [[Twelver Shiʿite]] hagiographers depicted her as a figure of cosmic significance, though early reports, as well as traditions attributed to her, are much scantier than those related to the other thirteen immaculate ones (maʿsum). Fatima was counted among the Prophet’s house ([[ahl al-bayt]]), the five people of the mantle ([[ahl al-kisa]]), and the people of the ordeal ([[mubahala]]) and thus occupies a central place in the pleroma of the immaculate ones, enjoying ontological, initiatory, and eschatological privileges of the same order as those attributed to the Prophet and the imams. 

Her name, like those of all the people of the mantle, was derived from a divine name. <ref>al-Fater “the Creator”; Ibn Babuya, 1405/1985, p. 252; No’mani, p. 137; Ibn ʿAyyash, p. 23.</ref> She was present in the light of the fourteen impeccable ones when it was placed in Adam’s loins (solb). It was because of this light that angels were ordered to prostrate themselves before him. <ref>Hasan al-ʿAskari, pp. 219 ff.; Ibn Babuya, 1385/1966, pp. 6, 209; idem, 1405/1985, p. 255.</ref> Among the names God taught to Adam <ref>Koran 2:31-33.</ref> were those of the people of the mantle, including that of Fatima. <ref>Hasan al-ʿAskari, p. 217; Forat, p. 56.</ref>
