The wives of the Prophet ﷺ gathered around him, and not one of them was absent. Then Fatimah came, walking in a manner that resembled the walk of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "Welcome, my daughter," and seated her on his left. Then he whispered something to her, and she wept. Then he whispered to her again, and she laughed.I asked her, "What made you weep?"She replied, "I would never disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."I said, "I have never seen joy so close to grief as today."When she had wept, I said to her, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ confide something to you and not to us, and yet you weep?" And I asked her about what he had said.She answered, "I would never disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."When he had passed away, I asked her again about what he had said.She said, "He told me that Jibril used to review the Quran with him once every year, but this year he reviewed it with him twice. He said, 'I do not think but that my time has come, and you will be the first of my family to follow me. What a fine predecessor I am for you.' So I wept. Then he whispered to me again and said, 'Are you not pleased to be the leading lady of the believing women,' or 'of the women of this nation?' So I laughed at that."
حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة حدثنا عبد الله بن نمير عن زكريا عن فراس عن عامر عن مسروق
اجتمعن نساء النبي ﷺ فلم تغادر منهن امرأة فجاءت فاطمة كأن مشيتها مشية رسول الله ﷺ فقال مرحبا بابنتي ثم أجلسها عن شماله ثم إنه أسر إليها حديثا فبكت فاطمة ثم إنه سارها فضحكت أيضا فقلت لها ما يبكيك قالت ما كنت لأفشي سر رسول الله ﷺ فقلت ما رأيت كاليوم فرحا أقرب من حزن فقلت لها حين بكت أخصك رسول الله ﷺ بحديث دوننا ثم تبكين وسألتها عما قال فقالت ما كنت لأفشي سر رسول الله ﷺ حتى إذا قبض سألتها عما قال فقالت إنه كان يحدثني أن جبرائيل كان يعارضه بالقرآن في كل عام مرة وأنه عارضه به العام مرتين ولا أراني إلا قد حضر أجلي وأنك أول أهلي لحوقا بي ونعم السلف أنا لك فبكيت ثم إنه سارني فقال ألا ترضين أن تكوني سيدة نساء المؤمنين أو نساء هذه الأمة فضحكت لذلك
