411.معاني الأخبار عن عَمَّارَة : سَألتُ أبا عَبدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام عَن فاطِمَةَ لِمَ سُمِّيَت زَهراء ؟ فَقال : لأنَّها كانَت اذا قامَت في مِحرابِها زَهَر نورُها لأهلِ السَّماءِ كَما يَزهَر نورُ الكواكبِ لأهلِ الأرضِ .6

411. Ammara narrated, 'I asked Aba Abdillah [al-Sadiq] (AS) as to why Fatima has been named al-Zahra', to which he replied, 'Because when she stood for prayers in her prayer niche, her light would radiate for the dwellers of the skies jut as the light of the stars radiates for the dwellers of the earth.' 7
