Does the website contain topics about the lives of the Companions and the Household of the Prophet, especially concerning the manner of our Mother Fatimah's—may Allah be pleased with her—death?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away a natural death approximately six months after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had informed her that she would be the first of his family to join him. It is narrated that she bathed, put on new clothes, then lay down facing the Qiblah, and passed away. As for what is mentioned about Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) striking or harming her, it is a fabrication that no sane person would believe. Umar was devoted in his love for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family, seeking closeness to Allah through that. Evidence for this includes his preference for Usamah ibn Zayd over his own son Abdullah in giving allowances, and his marriage to Umm Kulthum, daughter of Ali, all out of love for the Ahl al-Bayt (Prophet's household).
