The Noble Virtues of Sayyidah Fatima al-Zahra radiAllahu anha

عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي، فَمَنْ أَغْضَبَهَا أَغْضَبَنِي

Sayyiduna Al-Miswar b. Makhrama radiAllahu anhu narrates, the Noble Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Fatima is a part of me, and he who makes her angry, makes me angry.- Sahih al Bukhari

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ‏:‏ أَقْبَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَمْشِي كَأَنَّ مِشْيَتَهَا مَشْيُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ‏:‏ مَرْحَبًا بِابْنَتِي، ثُمَّ أَجْلَسَهَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، أَوْ عَنْ شِمَالِ

Sayyidah A’isha radiAllahu anha said, “(Sayyidah) Fatima radiAllahu anha walked in the same manner that the Noble Prophet ﷺ walked. He ﷺ used to say to her, ‘Welcome, my daughter!’ Then he would have her sit down on his right or his left.”- Adab al Mufrad by Imam Bukhari

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَعَا فَاطِمَةَ ابْنَتَهُ فَسَارَّهَا فَبَكَتْ ثُمَّ سَارَّهَا فَضَحِكَتْ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِفَاطِمَةَ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي سَارَّكِ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَكَيْتِ ثُمَّ سَارَّكِ فَضَحِكْتِ قَالَتْ سَارَّنِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي بِمَوْتِهِ فَبَكَيْتُ ثُمَّ سَارَّنِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنِّي أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَتْبَعُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَضَحِكْتُ

Sayyidah A’isha radiAllahu anha narrates that The Noble Messenger of Allah ﷺ called his daughter Sayyidah Fatima (before His ﷺ passing away ). He ﷺ said to her something secretly and she wept. He ﷺ again said to her something secretly and she laughed. Sayyidah A’isha radiAllahu anha further reported that she said to Sayyidah Fatima al Zahra radiAllahu anha:

What is that which Allah’s  Beloved Messenger ﷺ said to you secretly and you wept and then said to you something secretly and you laughed? Thereupon she radiAllahu anha said: He ﷺ informed me secretly of His ﷺ passing and so I wept. He ﷺ then again informed me secretly that I would be the first amongst the members of His ﷺ family to follow Him ﷺ and so I laughed. -Sahih Muslim
 عَلِيٌّ، أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ، اشْتَكَتْ مَا تَلْقَى مِنَ الرَّحَى فِي يَدِهَا وَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَبْىٌ فَانْطَلَقَتْ فَلَمْ تَجِدْهُ وَلَقِيَتْ عَائِشَةَ فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ بِمَجِيءِ فَاطِمَةَ إِلَيْهَا فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَيْنَا وَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا مَضَاجِعَنَا فَذَهَبْنَا نَقُومُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ عَلَى مَكَانِكُمَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقَعَدَ بَيْنَنَا حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ قَدَمِهِ عَلَى صَدْرِي ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏”‏ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكُمَا خَيْرًا مِمَّا سَأَلْتُمَا إِذَا أَخَذْتُمَا مَضَاجِعَكُمَا أَنْ تُكَبِّرَا اللَّهَ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَتُسَبِّحَاهُ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَتَحْمَدَاهُ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ

It is reported on the authority of Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib radiAllahu anhum that Sayyidah Fatima al-Zahra radiAllahu anha had hurt her blessed hand because of working at the hand-mill. There had fallen to the lot of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ some prisoners of war. She (Sayyidah Fatima) came to the Prophet ﷺ but she did not find him (in the house).

She met Sayyidah A’isha radiAllahu anha and informed her (about her hardship). When Allah’s Apostle ﷺ came, she (Sayyidah A’isha) informed him ﷺ about the visit of Sayyidah Fatima. Allah’s Messenger ﷺ came to them (Fatima and her family). They had gone to their beds.  Sayyiduna Ali further (states):

We tried to stand up (as a mark of respect) but Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said: Keep to your beds, and he sat amongst us and I felt the coldness of his feet upon my chest. He ﷺ then said: May I not direct you to something better than what you have asked for? When you go to your bed, you should recite Takbir (Allah-o-Akbar) thirty-four times and Tasbih (Subhan Allah) thirty-three times and Tahmid (al-Hamdu li-Allah) thirty-three times, and that is better than the servant for you.-Sahih Muslim
