[6314] 99 – ( … ) It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The wives of the Prophet gathered and not one of them was absent. Then Fâtimah came, and her manner of walking was like that of the Messenger of Allah . He said: 'Welcome to my daughter,' and seated her to his right or his left. Then he whispered something to her and Fâtimah – may Allah be pleased with her – wept, then he whispered to her and she smiled. I said to her: 'What made you weep?' She said: 'I will not disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah ' I said: 'I have never seen grief and joy so close as today.' I said to her when she wept: 'The Messenger of Allah singled you out to say something to, and you wept.' And I asked her what he had said. She said: 'I will not disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah .' Then when he died, I asked her and she said: 'He () told me: "JibrIl used to review the Qur'ân once every year, but this year he reviewed it with me twice, and I Virtues Of The Companions 312 realized that my death has drawn near, and you will be the first of my family to follow me, and I will be a fitting forerunner for you." So I wept at that, then he whispered to me and said: "Does it not please you to be the leader of the believing women, or the leader of the women of this Ummah?" so I smiled at that." Chapter 16.
