Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I asked Hazrat Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her): I saw you when you leaned towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during his illness before his passing, and then you started to cry. Then you leaned towards him again, and the second time you laughed?! She (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: When I leaned towards him the first time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that he was about to pass away, so I cried. Then I leaned towards him again, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that I would be the first among his family to join him, and that I am the leader of all the women of Paradise except Maryam bint Imran. So at this, I laughed.
