Muhammad ibn al-Hakam related to us, saying: al-Nadr informed us, saying: Isra’il related to us, saying: Maysara ibn Habib informed us, saying: al-Minhal ibn ‘Amr informed me, saying: ‘A’isha bint Talha related to me, from ‘A’isha, Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: I have never seen anyone more like the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in speech, conversation, and manner of sitting than Fatima. She said: When the Prophet saw her coming, he welcomed her, stood up for her, kissed her, took her hand, and brought her to sit in his place. When she came to him, she welcomed him, stood up for him, and kissed him. She came to the Prophet during the illness in which he died. He welcomed and kissed her, then whispered to her, and she wept. Then he whispered to her again, and she laughed. I said to the women: “I had thought this woman had a special virtue over other women, but now she is one of them—she weeps, then laughs.” I asked her: “What did he say to you?” She replied: “Then I would be one who divulges secrets.” When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, she said: “He whispered to me: ‘I am going to die,’ so I wept. Then he whispered to me: ‘You will be the first of my family to join me,’ so I was delighted and pleased.”
