Fatimah came walking, her gait resembling the walk of the Prophet ﷺ.The Prophet ﷺ said, "Welcome, my daughter."Then he seated her on his right or his left. He whispered something to her, and she wept. Then he whispered something else to her, and she laughed.I said to her, "Why are you crying?" Then later I said, "I have never seen joy so close to sorrow as today. What did he say to you?"She replied, "I would not disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."After the Prophet ﷺ passed away, I asked her again.She said, "He whispered to me, 'Jibreel used to review the Quran with me once every year, but this year he reviewed it with me twice. I can only think that my time has come, and you will be the first of my household to follow me.' So I wept.Then he said, 'Are you not pleased to be the mistress of the women of Paradise,' or 'the women of the believers?' So I laughed at that."
أقبلت فاطمة تمشي كأن مشيتها مشي النبي ﷺ فقال النبي ﷺ: مرحبا بابنتي. ثم أجلسها عن يمينه أو عن شماله، ثم أسر إليها حديثا، فبكت، فقلت لها: لم تبكين؟ ثم أسر إليها حديثا فضحكت. فقلت: ما رأيت كاليوم فرحا أقرب من حزن. فسألتها عما قال؟ فقالت: ما كنت لأفشي سر رسول الله ﷺ حتى قبض النبي ﷺ فسألتها؟ فقالت: أسر إلي: إن جبريل كان يعارضني القرآن كل سنة مرة، وإنه عارضني العام مرتين ولا أراه إلا حضر أجلي وإنك أول أهل بيتي لحاقا بي. فبكيت. فقال: أما ترضين أن تكوني سيدة نساء أهل الجنة أو نساء المؤمنين؟ فضحكت لذلك.
Bukhari narrated it in the signs of prophethood (3623), and Muslim in the virtues of the companions (2450), both from the hadith of Firas, from Amir, from Masruq, from Ayesha, and I mentioned it. In one version, she laughed when the Prophet ﷺ whispered to her, saying, "You are the first of my household to follow me."
