Ans bin Malik(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] narrates that when the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] used to come out for Fajr (dawn) prayer, as he passed the door of Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her], he used to say, “O ‘people of the house’, perform your prayer” and then he used to recite the following verse from the Holy Quran: “Allah only desires to keep away (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house’! (the Prophet’s family) and to totally purify you,” [al-Ahzab 33:33] (he did this) for six months.

-2 عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه في قوله: (إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ) قال: نزلت في خمسة: في رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم و علي و فاطمة و الحسن و الحسين رضى الله عنهم.

Safiyyah the daughter of Shaybah narrates that Ayeshah(Razeya-a-Allah Anha) [May Allah Be Pleased With Her] said, “The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] came out one morning wearing a cloak which had camel saddles woven on to it with black wool. Then Hasan bin Ali(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] came and the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] took him under the cloak, then Husain(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] came and entered beneath it with the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] . Then Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] came and the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] took her under the cloak. Next Ali(Karram-a-Allahu Wajhahu) [May God Honor Him] came and the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] also included him beneath it. Then the Holy Prophet Muhammad(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] recited the verse, ‘Allah only desires to keep away (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house!’ (the Prophet’s family) and to totally purify you,’ (al-Ahzab 33:33).”

-4عن عمر بن أبي سلمة ربيب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: لما نزلت هذه الآية على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: (إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا) في بيت أم سلمة، فدعا فاطمة و حسنا و حسينا رضي الله عنهم فجللهم بكساء وعلي خلف ظهره فجلله بكساء، ثم قال: اللهم! هؤلاء أهل بيتي فأذهب عنهم الرجس وطهرهم تطهيرا.

Umar bin Abi Salamah(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] who was brought up by the Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] narrates that when the verse, “Allah only desires to keep away (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house!’ (the Prophet’s family) and to totally purify you,” (al-Ahzab 33:33), was revealed to the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] at the home of Umm Salamah(Razeya-a-Allah Anha) [May Allah Be Pleased With Her], he(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] called Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her], Hasan(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] and Husain(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] and covered them with a cloak.

These are my ahl-ul-bait (‘people of the house’) so keep impurity away from them and totally purify them.”

Ayeshah(Razeya-a-Allah Anha) [May Allah Be Pleased With Her] narrates that the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] said during the illness in which he passed away, “Oh Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her]! Are you not pleased with the fact that you are the leader of the women of all the

worlds, the leader of the women of this ummah (nation) and the leader of the women of all the believers.”

-6عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: أقبلت فاطمة تمشي كأن مشيتها مشي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: مرحبا بابنتي. ثم أجلسها عن يمينه أو عن شماله، ثم أسر إليها حديثا فبكت فقلت لها: لم تبكين؟ ثم أسر إليها حديثا فضحكت، فقلت: ما رأيت كاليوم فرحا أقرب من حزن، فسألتها عما قال، فقالت: ما كنت لأفشي سر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى قبض النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسألتها، فقالت: أسر إلي: إن جبريل كان يعارضني القرآن كل سنة مرة، وإنه عارضني العام مرتين، ولا أراه إلا حضر أجلي، وإنك أول أهل بيتي لحاقا بي. فبكيت، فقال: أما ترضين، أن تكوني سيدة نساء أهل الجنة، أو نساء المؤمنين! فضحكت لذلك.

Ayeshah(Razeya-a-Allah Anha) [May Allah Be Pleased With Her] narrates, “Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] came and her way of walking was just like that of the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] . The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] welcomed his beloved daughter and seated her on his right hand side or on the left hand side*. Then he whispered something to her which made her cry. So I asked her why she was crying. Then the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered something to her and she laughed. So I said, ‘I have never seen happiness so close to sadness as I have seen today.’ I asked (Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her], ‘What did the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] say?’ She replied, ‘I cannot disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] .’ When the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] passed away I asked her again (about this incident) and she replied, ‘The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered to me, ‘Every year Jibraeel recites the whole of the Quran with me once but this year he has recited it twice. I am sure that the end of my time in this world has come and indeed you are the first from my family who will come to me.’ This made me cry. Then the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered, ‘Are you not happy with the fact that you are the leader of the women of Paradise or the leader of all Muslim women*.’ To this I laughed.’”

The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] again whispered something into her ear upon which she then laughed. I asked her(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her], ‘What made you cry?’ She replied, ‘I will not disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] .’ I said, ‘I have never seen happiness so close to sadness as was the case today.’ Then I said, ‘The Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] said something to you specifically without telling us yet you are crying.’ I asked Fatimah, ‘What did the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] say?’ Fatimah replied, ‘I cannot disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] .’ When the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] passed away, I asked her again and she replied, ‘The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered to me that every year Jibraeel recited the Quran with him once but this year he has recited it with him twice. (She said that the Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] said) I am sure that the time of my passing away is near and indeed you are the first from my family who will meet me and I am the best forerunner for you. To this I cried. Then the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered, ‘Are you not happy with the fact that you are the leader of all Muslim women or the leader of the women of this ummah (nation).’ To this I laughed.’”

Upon this she began to cry. Then he(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] called her nearer and whispered something to her and she laughed.” Ayeshah(Razeya-a-Allah Anha) [May Allah Be Pleased With Her] then says, “I asked Fatimah regarding that incident and Fatimah said, ‘The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] said into my ear that He(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] would pass away due to this illness.

The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] took hold of her hand and seated her behind him and whispered something to her. I do not know what was whispered. Then I looked at Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] and she was crying. Then the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] turned his attention to me and he talked and joked with me. The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] then turned towards Fatimah, joked with her and whispered something to her.

When the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] got up and went outside, I asked Fatimah, ‘What did the Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whisper to you?’ She replied, ‘Whatever the Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered to me, I will not tell you about it.’ I said, ‘For the sake of Allah and my close relation to you (please tell me).’ Then she said, ‘The Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] told me that the time of his passing away has come near. The very thought of separation from the Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] made me cry. Then he(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] turned to me and whispered that from the ‘people of the house’ I will be the first who will meet him again. In anticipation of meeting him, I laughed.’”

Then she said, ‘O mother, bring me new clothes’ so I gave her clothes to her and she put them on. Then she said, ‘O mother! Make my bed for me in the middle of the house,’ so I did accordingly. Then she laid down, faced towards the Kabah, placed her hand under her cheek and said, ‘O mother! It is time for my death and I have purified myself. Do not let anybody undress me.’ Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] passed away in that very
