Imam Sadiq (a.s.) was asked why was (Faatema) Zahra named Zahra. Imam (a.s.) replied, 'Because she used to shine for Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) thrice every day. First was at the time of the morning prayers. Then at the time of the midday prayers. Finally, at the time of the prayers at the end of the day.'
