It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: One day I assisted the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in performing ablution. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Will you go to visit Fatimah and inquire about her health? I said: Yes. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, leaning on me, and said: No one else but you will bear her burden, and you will receive its reward. After hearing this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it was as if there was no burden left on me, until we reached the house of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: How do you find yourself? She replied: By Allah! My grief has increased, I am afflicted with severe hunger, and my illness has also become prolonged. Abu Abdur Rahman says: I found written in my father's book, in his own handwriting, that in this hadith the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: Are you pleased that I marry you to a man who was the first (i.e., among the first) to accept Islam in my Ummah, and is the most knowledgeable and patient?
