She was his (peace and blessings be upon him) daughter, Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Fatima! For what purpose have you come out of the house?" She said: "I went to the house of such-and-such people, spoke words of mercy regarding their deceased, and offered condolences to them because of the person who had passed away." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you reach Kuda (the graveyard) with them?" She said: "I seek refuge with Allah that I would reach the place of Kuda with them, while I have already heard your (threatening) words about this." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you had reached that place with them, you would not have seen Paradise until your father had seen it."
