Why did God specifically distinguish Lady Fatima, and not the rest of the Prophet's daughters, with this status as one of the mistresses of the women of Paradise?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Fatima is considered the best of the Prophet's daughters (peace be upon him) for reasons cited by scholars based on Prophetic traditions, among them his saying (peace be upon him): "Fatima is a part of me, whoever angers her has angered me," and his saying to her: "Are you not pleased to be the chief of the women of Paradise or the women of the believers?" Al-Suhaili inferred from the first Hadith that whoever insults her commits disbelief, because her anger is equivalent to his anger (peace be upon him). Ibn Hajar mentioned that the strongest proof of her superiority is that she is the chief of the women of all worlds, except for Mary, and that she was afflicted by the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him) during her lifetime, whereas her sisters died during his lifetime (peace be upon him).
