Also Hamidah, wife of AlImaam AsSaadiq"A", was of lofty moral position that in her regard AlImaam"A" said: "Hamidah is verily purified of pollutions." 32 Moreover, in her regard Al-Imaam Al-Baaqir"A" proclaimed: "She is commended in the world and praiseworthy in the hereafter." 33 Some are of the opinion that the women being more competent and able than the men, because: 1. The space of marching of the women being shorter than that of men. 2. The women being lighter than men, since their attachments and belongings being lesser than those of men, the fact making them able to cover this short distance faster than men. 3. The obstacles before behaviour of men being more in number than those before women, so they find it so difficult to deliver themselves from them. Some historical evidences are there to establish this view. It is known for all that AlImaam Ali"A" got married to Fatimah"A" when she was only nine years old and he in the age of 21, i.e. the difference in age between them was 12 years. On another part, in the Shi'ah and Sunnah narrations, it is reported that the Prophet"S" said: "Had not been Ali existed, no equal mate could be there for Fatimah." 34 The evidence proving this view can be found in the Prophet's confirmation of their equality and matchness to each other though the difference of twelve years in age. Further, other evidences are there to attest this opinion, but citing them is out of scope here.
