Once Fatima came walking and her gait resembled the gait of the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, "Welcome, O my daughter!" Then he made her sit on his right or on his left side, and then he told her a secret and she started weeping. I asked her, "Why are you weeping?" He again told her a secret and she started laughing. I said, "I never saw happiness so near to sadness as I saw today." I asked her what the Prophet ﷺ had told her. She said, "I would never disclose the secret of Messenger of Allah ﷺ." When the Prophet ﷺ died, I asked her about it. She replied. "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Every year Gabriel used to revise the Qur'an with me once only, but this year he has done so twice. I think this portends my death, and you will be the first of my family to follow me.' So I started weeping. Then he said. 'Don't you like to be the chief of all the ladies of Paradise or the chief of the believing women? So I laughed for that." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3623)
اجْتَمَعَ نِسَاءُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ تُغَادِرْ مِنْهُنَّ امْرَأَةٌ قَالَتْ فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَمْشِي كَأَنَّ مِشْيَتَهَا مِشْيَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَرْحَبًا بِابْنَتِي» ثُمَّ أَجْلَسَهَا فَأَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا حَدِيثًا فَبَكَتْ فَقُلْتُ «حِينَ بَكَتْ خَصَّكِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِحَدِيثِهِ دُونَنَا ثُمَّ تَبْكِينَ ثُمَّ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا حَدِيثًا فَضَحِكَتْ» فَقُلْتُ مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ فَرَحًا قَطُّ أَقْرَبَ مِنْ حُزْنٍ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَمَّا قَالَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ «مَا كُنْتُ لِأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا قُبِضَ سَأَلْتُهَا» فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَدَّثَنِي قَالَ «كَانَ جِبْرِيلُ يُعَارِضُنِي كُلَّ عَامٍ مُرَّةً وَإِنَّهُ عَارَضَنِي الْعَامَ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا وَقَدْ حَضَرَ أَجْلِي وَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِي بِي لُحُوقًا وَنِعْمَ السَّلَفُ أَنَا لَكِ فَبَكَيْتُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ سَارَّنِي أَلَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونِي سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَوْ نِسَاءِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ» قَالَتْ «فَضَحِكَتْ لِذَلِكَ»
