It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) fell ill with her final illness, I used to take care of her during those days. During her illness, one day she was quite cheerful. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went out for some work, so Sayyida (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Mother! Please prepare water for me to bathe." I prepared water for her to bathe, and she performed a very good bath. Then she said: "Mother! Please bring me my new clothes." I brought her new clothes, which she put on. Then she said: "Mother! Please lay my bed in the middle of the room." I did as she asked. She lay down facing the Qibla and placed her hand under her cheek. Then she said: "Mother! I am about to pass away now. I have already bathed, so no one should remove my clothes to bathe me." Thus, she passed away right there. When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came, I informed him of Sayyida's (may Allah be pleased with her) passing.
