bukhari:3715Yaḥyá b. Qazaʿah > Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd from his father > ʿUrwah > ʿĀʾishah

The Prophet ﷺ called his daughter Fatima during his illness in which he died, and told her a secret whereupon she wept. Then he called her again and told her a secret whereupon she laughed. When I asked her about that, she replied, "The Prophet ﷺ spoke to me in secret and informed me that he would die in the course of the illness during which he died, so I wept. He again spoke to me in secret and informed me that I would be the first of his family to follow him (after his death) and on that I laughed."
