ذِكْرُ إِخْبَارِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ أَنَّهَا أَوَّلُ لَاحِقٍ بِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ

[Machine] She said, "I have never seen anyone whose speech and conversation resemble that of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than Fatimah. Whenever she entered upon him, he would stand up for her, kiss her, welcome her, hold her hand, and seat her in his gathering. And whenever he entered upon her, she would stand up for him, kiss him, and hold his hand. When he was in the illness in which he died, he whispered to her and she wept, then he whispered to her again and she smiled. I asked her about that and she said, 'He whispered to me that he was going to die, so I wept. Then he whispered to me again and told me that I would be the first of his family to join him, so I smiled.'"  

ابن حبّان:٦٩٥٣أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَى ثَقِيفٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَشْبَهَ كَلَامًا وَحَدِيثًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ فَاطِمَةَ وَكَانَتْ إِذَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ قَامَ إِلَيْهَا وَقَبَّلَهَا وَرَحَّبَ بِهَا وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهَا وَأَجْلَسَهَا فِي مَجْلِسِهِ وَكَانَتْ هِيَ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا قَامَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَتْهُ وَأَخَذَتْ بِيَدِهِ فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ فَأَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا فَبَكَتْ ثُمَّ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا فَضَحِكَتْ فَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُ أَنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَضْلًا عَلَى النَّاسِ فَإِذَا هِيَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ بَيْنَا هِيَ تَبْكِي إِذَا هِيَ تَضْحَكُ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَأَلْتُهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ أَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ مَيِّتٌ فَبَكَيْتُ ثُمَّ أَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنِّي أَوَّلُ أَهْلِهِ لُحُوقًا بِهِ فَضَحِكَتْ»

"I have not seen anyone closer in conduct, way, and manners to that of the Messenger of Allah in regards to standing and sitting, than Fatimah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said "Whenever she would enter upon the Prophet ﷺ he would stand to her and kiss her, and he would sit her in his sitting place. Whenever the Prophet ﷺ entered upon her she would stand from her seat, and kiss him and sit him in her sitting place. So when the Prophet ﷺ fell sick and Fatimah entered, she bent over and kissed him. Then she lifted her head and cried, then she bent over him and she lifted her head and laughed. So I said: 'I used to think that this one was from the most intelligent of our women, but she is really just one of the women.' So when the Prophet ﷺ died, I said to her: 'Do you remember when you bent over the Prophet ﷺ and you lifted your head and cried, then you bent over him, then you lifted your head and laughed. What caused you to do that?' She said: 'Then, I would be the one who spreads the secrets. He ﷺ told me that he was to die from his illness, so I cried. Then he told me that I would be the quickest of his family to meet up with him. So that is when I laughed.'"

[Machine] I have never seen a woman who resembled the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more in her words and actions than Fatimah. Whenever she entered his house, he would take her hand, kiss her, and seat her in his gathering. And when he would enter upon her, she would stand up to greet him, kiss him, and take his hand. I entered upon him during his final illness in which he passed away, and he whispered something to her, causing her to cry. Then he whispered something else to her, and she laughed. So I said to her, "I thought that this woman had more virtue over women, but now I see that she cries when she is supposed to, and she laughs when she is supposed to." So I asked her about it, and she said, "In that case, I am like a seed." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I asked her about it, and she said, "He whispered to me and informed me that he was going to die, so I cried. Then he whispered to me and told me that I will be the first of his family to join him, so I laughed."
