51. Companionship of Women
٥١۔ كِتَابُ عِشْرَةِ النِّسَاءِ
[Machine] I have never seen anyone among the people who resembles the speech of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , nor a conversation nor a sitting with Fatimah. She said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw her, he would greet her and then go to her and kiss her, then he would take her hand and bring her until he made her sit in his place. And whenever she saw the Prophet ﷺ she would greet him, then she would go to him and kiss him. Indeed, she entered upon the Prophet ﷺ in his illness in which he passed away, so he greeted her, kissed her, and then whispered to her and she cried. Then he whispered to her again and she laughed. So I said to the women, I only used to see that she had a virtue over the women, but here she is, among the women, crying when suddenly she laughs. So I asked her what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to you? She said, "At that moment, I was a seed." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I asked her, and she said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'My appointed time has come and I am dying, so I cried.' Then he said, 'You are the first of my family to join me, so I felt happy and I laughed.'"
مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَشْبَهَ كَلَامًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا حَدِيثًا وَلَا جَلْسَةً مِنْ فَاطِمَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَآهَا قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ رَحَّبَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَبَّلَهَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهَا فَجَاءَ بِهَا حَتَّى يَجْلِسَهَا فِي مَكَانِهِ وَكَانَتْ إِذَا رَأَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَحَّبَتْ بِهِ ثُمَّ قَامَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَتْهُ وَإِنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ فَرَحَّبَ بِهَا وَقَبَّلَهَا ثُمَّ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا فَبَكَتْ ثُمَّ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا فَضَحِكَتْ فَقُلْتُ لِلنِّسَاءِ مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّ لَهَا فَضْلًا عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَإِذَا هِيَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ بَيْنَمَا هِيَ تَبْكِي إِذْ ضَحِكَتْ فَسَأَلْتُهَا مَا قَالَ لَكِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ إِنِّي إِذًا لَبَذِرَةٌ فَلَمَّا أَنْ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَجَلِي قَدْ حَضَرَ وَإِنِّي مَيِّتٌ فَبَكَيْتُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّكِ لَأَوَّلُ أَهْلِي بِي لُحُوقًا فَسُرِرْتُ وَأَعْجَبَنِي فَضَحِكْتُ»
