When Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) recovered from illness, I said to her. What did Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say to you? Thereupon she said: I am not going to disclose the secret of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). When Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) died, I said to her: I adjure you by the right that I have upon you that you should narrate to me what Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to you. She said: Yes, now I can do that (so listen to it). When he talked to me secretly for the first time he informed me that Gabirel was in the habit of reciting the Qur'an along with him once or twice every year, but this year it had been twice and so he perceived his death quite near, so fear Allah and be patient (and he told me) that he would be a befitting forerunner for me and so I wept as you saw me. And when he saw me in grief he talked to me secretly for the second time and said: Fatima, are you not pleased that you should be at the head of the believing women or the head of this Umma? I laughed and it was that laughter which you saw.

I (`A'isha) said: I have not seen (anything happening) like today, the happiness being more close to grief (as I see today) when she wept. I said to her: Has Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) singled you out for saying something leaving us aside? She then wept and I asked her what he said, and she said: I am not going to divulge the secrets of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). And when he died I again asked her and she said that he (the Holy Prophet) told her: Gabriel used to recite the Qur'an to me once a year and for this year it was twice and so I perceived that my death had drawn near, and that I (Fatima) would be the first amongst the members of his family who would meet him (in the Hereafter). He shall be my good forerunner and it made me weep. He again talked to me secretly (saying): Aren't you pleased that you should be the sovereign amongst the believing women or the head of women of this Ummah? And this made me laugh.
