Death of Sayida Fathima radiallahu taala anhu

Narrated By Ummul Monineen Ayesha Sidqiqa radiallahu taala anhu
Ayeshah (radiallhu taala anhu ) narrates, “Fatimah (radiallahu taala anhu) came
and her way of walking was just like that of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam). The Holy Prophet  (Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam). welcomed his beloved daughter and seated her on his right hand side or on the left hand side. Then he whispered something to her which made her cry. So I asked her why she was crying. Then the Holy Prophet  whispered something to her and she laughed. So I said, ‘I have never seen happiness so close to sadness as I have seen today.’ I asked (Fatimah [radiallahu taala anhu ] ), ‘What did the Holy Prophet  say?’ She replied, ‘I cannot disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah .’ When the Holy Prophet  passed away I asked her again (about this incident)
and she replied, ‘The Holy Prophet  whispered to me, ‘Every year Jibraeel recites the whole of the Quran with me once but this year he has recited it twice. I am sure that the end of my time in this world has come and indeed you are the first from my family who will come to me.’ This made me cry. Then the Holy Prophet whispered, ‘Are you not happy with the fact that you are the leader of the women of Paradise or the leader of all Muslim women To this I laughed.’”

The Passing away of Fathima radiallahu taala anhu




Umm Salma (radiallahu taala anhu ) narrates, “When Fatimah (radiallahu taala anhu ) had the illness which took her life, I nursed her. During this time, on one occasion her condition was slightly better one morning. Ali ( radiallahu taala anhu ) had gone out for some job. Fatimah said, ‘O mother! Br ing some water for me to bathe.’ I brought some water and as far as I saw she bathed perfectly. Then she said, ‘O mother, bring me new clothes’ so I gave her clothes to her and she put them on. Then she said, ‘O mother! Make my bed for me in the middle of the house,’ so I did accordingly. Then she laid down, faced towards the Kabah, placed her hand under her cheek and said, ‘O mother! It is t ime for my death and I
have purified myself . Do not let anybody undress me.’ Fatimah (radiallahu taala anhu ) passed away in that very position.”

Umm Salmah continues, “Then Ali (radiallahu taala anhu ) came back and I informed him of Fatimah’s (radiallahu taala anhu ) death.
