As with Mary, there are reports that angels spoke to Fatimah on multiple occasions.[3][4][5] In particular, in Shia view, the Book of Fatimah recounts the conversations of Gabriel with Fatimah to console her after Muhammad's death.[6] Fatimah's husband, Ali, scribed the revelations. The book is said to contain prophecies about the future.
In Shia view, the Book of Fatimah has been preserved by the descendants of Fatimah, namely, the Shia Imams, and is now held by the last Shia Imam, Mahdi, whose advent is awaited by the Shia and Sunni alike, even though the two sects hold different views about Mahdi.[7]
The Book of Fatimah is specifically described as a text of heavenly origin (kalām min kalām allāh) dictated to Fatimah. Yet the traditionists emphasize that this book, occasionally described as being three times the size of the Quran, includes not even one letter (ḥarf) from it. According to Ja'far al-Sadiq, the muṣḥaf Fāṭima (Book of Fatimah) does not contain information about legal matters, but only about future events. In one version, the future events described pertain to what will happen to Fatimah's descendants after her death.[8]
The Book of Fatimah should be distinguished from another document known as Ṣaḥīfat al-Zahrāʾ (Fatimah’s scroll) which contained the names of the Twelve Imams and unlike other holy texts, it is cited in its entirety in a number of early Shiʿi sources.[8]

Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahai Faith, wrote Kalimat-i-Maknunih (Hidden Words) around 1857 CE. Bahá'u'lláh originally named his manuscript The Book of Fatimah.[9] Bahais believe that The Hidden Words is the symbolic fulfilment of the Islamic prophecy.[10]
