Is there a daughter of Sayyid Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) named Zaynab al-Hawra from Fatima al-Zahra, and why was she not mentioned in the Hadith of the Cloak if she existed?
Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, had a daughter named Zaynab from Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her. She is mentioned in biographical works such as Ibn Sa'd's Al-Tabaqat al-Kubra and Ibn Kathir's Al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah. Her not being mentioned in the of the Cloak does not negate her existence, as her existence is historically established. It is probable that this was due to her birth being later than the revelation of the verse in Surat Al-Ahzab, which occurred in the fifth year of the Hijra, whereas Ali married Fatimah in the second year of the Hijra. She had given birth to Al-, Al-Husayn, and Muhsin before Zaynab.
