HAZRAT E FATIMA RADI ALLAH ANHA

3rd of Ramadan marks the passing of Sayyidah Fātimah Al-Zahrā beloved daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his noble family). Fatimah bint Muhammad was a very special woman. She had a short lifespan of 29 years, which she spent in poverty and considerable hardship; yet, despite not having lived a very long life, she won the highest rank amongst the women in the Akhirah. Passed away 6 months after the Messenger ﷺ, it is said she never smiled after the passing away of her beloved father ﷺ.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Fatimah is the leader of the women of Paradise.” [Bukhari]
“Fatimah is a part of me, so whoever makes her angry makes me angry.” [Bukhari]
“Fatimah, you will be the first amongst my Ahlul-Bayt to follow (pass away) after me.” [Hilyat ul Awliya]
“The four greatest women are Maryam, Asiya, Khadija, and Fatimah.” [Kanz ul Ummāl]
“The most beloved of my family to me is Fatimah.” [al-Jami al-Sagheer]
Our Mother ‘Aisha was asked “Who was most loved by the Messenger of Allah?” She replied, “Fatimah.” Then she was asked, “And amongst men?” She replied, “Her husband Ali.” [Mishkāt]
“On the Day of Judgment, a caller will call out, ‘lower your gaze until Fatimah has passed by.” [al-Sawā'iq]
“If Fatimah is upset, Allah Ta’ala becomes furious and if she is happy, Allah Ta’ala is pleased.” [Mustadrak]
“Oh, Ali, Jibreel has informed me that Allah has married you to Fatimah” [al Riyādh]
Our Mother Aisha said: “Never have I seen anyone like the Messenger of Allah, in his solemn way of standing and sitting, more than Fatimah. When Fatimah would come to the Noble Prophet, he would stand up for her, affectionately kiss her on her forehead, and would make her sit in his spot. When the Noble Prophet would go to Fatima, she would stand up, would kiss his blessed hand, and would respectfully make him sit in her place.” [Tirmidhi]
“All the children of a woman are attributed to their father, but not the sons of Fatimah.” [Kanz ul Ummāl]
“Fatimah complained about the pain caused to her hand by the mill, and some prisoners had been brought to the Noble Prophet, so she went (to ask for a servant) but did not find the Messenger, but she met Aishah and told her. When the Noble Messenger came, Aishah told him about Fatimah coming to her. The Messenger came to us, and we had gone to bed. We started to get up, but the Messenger said: “Stay where you are.” and said: “Shall I not teach you something better than what you asked for? When you go to your bed, magnify Allah thirty-four times, glorify Him thirty-three times and praise Him thirty-three times. That is better for you than a servant.” [Bukhari]
