It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the night I was taken on the Night Journey, Jibril (peace be upon him) brought me a quince from Paradise, and I ate it. Then Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) conceived Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). So whenever I long for the fragrance of Paradise, I smell the neck of Fatimah." This hadith is gharib (singular) in both its chain and its text; its narrator Shihab bin Harb is unknown (majhul), while the rest of its narrators are trustworthy (thiqah).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey, the last person (of his family) he would meet and take leave of was Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), and whenever he returned from a journey, the first person he would go to was also Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her).

A narration like the previous hadith is reported from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), except that it contains this addition: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her (Sayyidah Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her): "May my father and mother be ransomed for you." All the narrators of this hadith, except Ibrahim Qu'ays, are narrators of the "Sahih" (Bukhari and Muslim).

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said during the illness in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away: "O Fatimah, are you not pleased that you are the leader of the women of the worlds, the leader of the women of this Ummah, and the leader of the believing women?!" This chain is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it in this form.

Abdullah bin Buraydah narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: The most beloved of women to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), and of men, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask him for a servant. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Is what you have come to ask for more beloved to you, or that which is better than it?" She spoke (the narrator thought that she consulted Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him), then said: Tell me that which is better than it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Allahumma rabbas-samawatis-sab'i wa rabbal-'arshil-'azim, rabbana wa rabba kulli shay', munzilat-tawrati wal-injili wal-qur'an, faliqal-habbi wan-nawa, a'udhu bika min sharri kulli shay'in anta akhidhun bi-nasiyatih, antal-awwalu fa-laysa qablaka shay', wa antal-akhiru fa-laysa ba'daka shay', wa antaz-zahiru fa-laysa fawqaka shay', wa antal-batinu fa-laysa dunaka shay', iqdi 'annad-dayna wa aghnina minal-faqr' (O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and the Lord of everything, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur'an, Splitter of the grain and the date-stone, I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything whose forelock You hold. You are the First, so there is nothing before You; You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; You are the Manifest, so there is nothing above You; and You are the Hidden, so there is nothing nearer than You. Settle our debt for us and enrich us, freeing us from poverty)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) related: The polytheists of Quraysh gathered in the Hijr (Hatim) and said: When Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passes by here, each man among us will strike him one blow. Sayyidah (Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her) heard this, went to her father and said: O father, the polytheists of Quraysh have gathered. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O my daughter, stay calm." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went out and came to them in the Sacred Mosque. They raised their heads (on seeing him), then lowered them in shame. He (peace and blessings be upon him) took a handful of dust and, throwing it towards them, said: 'Shahatil-wujuh' (May these faces be disfigured). Every man among them whom that dust struck was killed on the day of Badr. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Ayman al-Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married his daughter Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) to Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), and instructed him not to go in to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) until he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself came. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

She said: Her husband; as far as I know, he fasted much and stood much in prayer at night. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

This hadith is found in this way in the "Musnad" of Abu Abdullah Ahmad bin Hanbal.
