The question

How is it that only one hadith is narrated from Fatimah al-Zahra, the daughter of the Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while she was raised in the House of Prophethood? And is it true that the Sunnis did not record her hadith, and that the remaining twelve jurisprudential schools (madhahib) rely on what was narrated from her, and that by doing so, the Sunnis lack some religious knowledge for not taking into account the "Scrolls of Fatimah"?

The answer

The statement that Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) has only one is incorrect. Rather, she has several hadiths recorded in the books of and Islamic collections, some of which were narrated by Al-Bukhari and At-Tirmidhi. The reason for the scarcity of her hadiths is that she did not live long after the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him), unlike other companions who lived for many years.

As for the hadith mentioned concerning the face and hands, it is from Aisha's narration, and scholars have differed regarding the authenticity of its chain of transmission.

The 'Mus'haf of Fatimah' (may Allah be pleased with her) is a fabrication. There is no mus'haf for her other than the Qur'an that exists today with Muslims. Whoever believes otherwise is a disbeliever for denying Allah's statement: "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Dhikr (the Qur'an), and indeed, We will be its guardian." [Al-Hijr: 9].

The reason for the widespread prevalence of the four madhhabs (schools of thought) and not others is that Allah destined for their imams those who would transmit their knowledge extensively, and the Ummah accepted it with approval.
