The answer

The hadith in question is weak. It was narrated by Abu Dawud, Al-Nasa'i, and others from Abdullah ibn Amr that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked Fatimah what had caused her to leave her house. She replied that she went to offer condolences to the family of a deceased person. He then asked her if she had reached al-kada (the graves) with them, and she denied it. Had she done so, he would have said to her, "Had you reached them with them, you would not have seen Paradise until your grandfather's father sees it." Al-Nasa'i and Al-Albani declared its chain of narration weak due to the presence of Rabiah, who is a weak narrator, in it.
