How did Imam Ali (AS) manage to hide the grave of Lady Fatima Zahra (AS)?

SHAFAQNA – When Lady Fatima Zahra (AS) passed away, people rushed to her house and were waiting for her body to come out of the house. Imam Ali (AS) told Abuzar: Go out and announce loudly that people should return because the funeral ceremony of the daughter of the Prophet (PBUH) has been delayed and will not take place tonight.

When people dispersed, Imam Ali (AS) with the help of Asma prepared the body of Lady Fatima Zahra (AS) for burial. In the middle of the night accompanied with some of his close companions like Salman, Abuzar, Meqdad, Ammar, Abbas and Zubair, Imam Ali (AS) buried the body of Lady Fatima Zahra (AS).

Imam Ali (AS) did not raise the grave and made it to the ground level and even it is narrated that in a few spots in Baqi’a (cemetery) Imam (AS) prepared other graves so that the enemies could not find the grave of Lady Fatima Zahra (AS). The grave of the daughter of the Prophet (PBUH) has remained hidden forever and those who were present did not give any information about it [1].
