حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها

قَالَتْ أَقْبَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَمْشِي، كَأَنَّ مِشْيَتَهَا مَشْىُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَرْحَبًا بِابْنَتِي». ثُمَّ أَجْلَسَهَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَوْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ، ثُمَّ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا حَدِيثًا، فَبَكَتْ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا لِمَ تَبْكِينَ ثُمَّ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا حَدِيثًا فَضَحِكَتْ فَقُلْتُ: مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ فَرَحًا أَقْرَبَ مِنْ حُزْنٍ، فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَمَّا قَالَ.

فَقَالَتْ: مَا كُنْتُ لأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ أَسَرَّ إِلَىَّ «إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ يُعَارِضُنِي الْقُرْآنَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّةً، وَإِنَّهُ عَارَضَنِي الْعَامَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَلَا أُرَاهُ إِلاَّ حَضَرَ أَجَلِي، وَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي لَحَاقًا بِي».

فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ: «أَمَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونِي سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ نِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ». فَضَحِكْتُ لِذَلِكَ

Once Fatima came walking and her gait resembled the gait of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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 (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had told her.

She said, “I would never disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).” When the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) died, I asked her about it.

She replied. “The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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.’”

তিনি বললেন, তিনি (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) প্রথম বার আমাকে বলেছিলেন, জিবরীল (আঃ) প্রতি বছর একবার আমার সঙ্গে কুরআন পাঠ করতেন, এ বছর দু’বার পড়ে শুনিয়েছেন। আমার মনে হয় আমার বিদায় বেলা উপস্থিত এবং অতঃপর আমার পরিবারের মধ্যে তুমিই সর্বপ্রথম আমার সঙ্গে মিলিত হবে। তা শুনে আমি কেঁদে দিলাম। অতঃপর বলেছিলেন, তুমি কি এতে সন্তুষ্ট নও যে, জান্নাতবাসী নারীদের অথবা মু’মিন নারীদের তুমি সরদার হবে। এ কথা শুনে আমি হেসেছিলাম।

Ebu Musa'dan -zannederim o Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'den diye nakletti-: "Rüyada Mekke'den hurmalıkları olan bir yere hicret ettiğimi gördüm. Hatırıma oranın Yemome yahut Hecer olduğu geldi. Bir de baktım ki o Medine yani Yesrib imiş. Yine rüyamda benim bir kılıç salladığımı gördüm. Bu kılıcın üst tarafı koptu. Meğer o Uhud günü isabet alan müminler demekmiş.

Onu bir daha salladım, olduğundan güzel hale geldi. Meğer bu da Allah'ın nasip ettiği fetih ve müminlerin bir araya gelmesi, toplanması imiş. Ben orada (Medine'de) bazı inekler de gördüm. Allah(ın sevabı) hayırlı olandır. Meğer onlar Uhud günü (şehit düşen) müminler imiş ve hayır ise Bedir gününden sonra Allah'ın bize ihsan ettiği hayır ile doğruluğun sevabıdır."

What it means

‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet's wives were sitting with him when Fātimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to visit him in his final illness. Fātimah came in walking exactly like the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). It was the Prophet's habit to stand up for his daughter, kiss her, and let her sit in his place.

So he welcomed her and let her sit next to him. ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) then mentioned that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) talked secretly to Fātimah (may Allah be pleased with her), who therefore wept heavily. When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw that she was very sad, he talked once again secretly to her, so she laughed.

‘Ā’ishah asked Fātimah why she wept although she had such a privilege of being told a secret by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) apart from his wives.

Fātimah said that she would not divulge the Prophet's secret. However, when the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) died, ‘Ā’ishah adjured Fātimah to tell her what the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had told her. Fātimah agreed to tell her this time.

She said that she cried the first time because the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told her that Jibrīl used to study the Qur'an with him once or twice every year, but that time it was twice. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) believed this was an indication that his life was coming to an end.

He asked Fātimah to adhere to piety and have patience, and told her that the honor of being the Prophet's descendant would compensate the grief of separating from him by his death. So Fātimah cried and was very sad. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told her another secret; he assured her that she is the cream of Muslim women, so she laughed.

As this Hadīth reports, Fātimah laughed because the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed her that she would be the chief of the women of Paradise. However, there are other narrations stating that in the second time he talked secretly to her, she laughed for the following reasons: 1.

He told her that she would be the first of his family to die after him. 2. He told her that she would be the chief of the women of Paradise. This, along with the first, is the preponderant opinion. 3.

He told her that Jibrīl told him that no Muslim woman has more excellent offspring than her, and asked her not to be the least patient. It remains that ‘Ā'ishah's keenness for knowledge pushed her to ask Fātimah what secret the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) confided to her.

But the Prophet's daughter said that she would not disclose the Prophet's secret. This is the point of the Hadīth. When the restriction ended by the Prophet's death, she told her about the secret speech. Finally, this Hadīth tells something about the future, and this thing happened as described. It is agreed that Fātimah (may Allah be pleased with her) was the first of the Prophet's family to die after him, even before his wives (may Allah be pleased with them).
