حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْعَلَّافُ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ثنا نَافِعُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَارَةُ بْنُ غَزِيَّةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ أَنَّ أُمَّهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ حُسَيْنٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ
أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ كَانَتْ تَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ قَالَ لِفَاطِمَةَ «يَا بُنَيَّةُ احْنِي عَلَيَّ» فَأَحْنَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَنَاجَاهَا سَاعَةً ثُمَّ انْكَشَفَتْ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي وَعَائِشَةُ حَاضِرَةٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسَاعَةٍ «احْنِي عَلَيَّ يَا بُنَيَّةُ» فَأَحْنَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَنَاجَاهَا سَاعَةً ثُمَّ انْكَشَفَتْ عَنْهُ فَضَحِكَتْ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ أَخْبِرِينِي مَاذَا نَاجَاكِ أَبُوكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ نَاجَانِي عَلَى حَالٍ سِرٍّ ظَنَنْتِ أَنِّي أُخْبِرُ بِسِرِّهِ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أَنْ يَكُونَ سِرًّا دُونَهَا فَلَمَّا قَبَضَهُ اللهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لِفَاطِمَةَ يَا بُنَيَّةُ أَلَا تُخْبِرينِي بِذَلِكَ الْخَبَرِ؟ قَالَتْ أَمَّا الْآنَ فَنَعَمْ نَاجَانِي فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ ﷺ كَانَ يُعَارِضُهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً وَأَنَّهُ عَارَضَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ الْعَامَ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيٌّ إِلَّا عَاشَ نِصْفَ عُمَرَ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ وَأَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَاشَ عِشْرِينَ وَماِئةَ سَنَةٍ وَلَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا ذَاهِبًا عَلَى رَأْسِ السِّتِّينَ فَأَبْكَانِي ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ «يَا بُنَيَّةُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْظَمُ رُزِّيَّةً مِنْكِ فَلَا تَكُونِي أَدْنَى مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ صَبْرًا» وَنَاجَانِي فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْآخِرَةِ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنِّي أَوَّلُ أَهْلِهِ لُحُوقًا بِهِ وَقَالَ «إِنَّكِ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْبَتُولِ مَرْيَمَ بِنْتِ عِمْرَانَ» فَضَحِكَتُ بِذَلِكَ

✧ A’ishah used to say: “In the illness in which the Messenger of God ﷺ was taken, he said to Fatimah: ‘O my little daughter, lean over me.’ So she leaned over him and he whispered to her for a while. Then she uncovered and she was weeping while A’ishah was present. Then after a while the Messenger of God ﷺ said: ‘Lean over me, O my little daughter.’ So she leaned over him and he whispered to her for a while. Then she uncovered from him and laughed. A’ishah said: ‘I said: O my little daughter, tell me what your father whispered to you.’ Fatimah said: ‘He whispered to me in a state of secret, and you thought that I would disclose his secret while he is alive. That distressed A’ishah that there should be a secret kept from her. When God took him, A’ishah said to Fatimah: ‘O my little daughter, will you not tell me that report?’ She said: ‘As for now, yes. He whispered to me the first time and told me that Gabriel ﷺ used to review the Qur’an with him once every year, and that he reviewed the Qur’an with him twice this year. He told me that he told him that no prophet lived except half the lifespan of the one before him, and that he told me that ‘Isa son of Maryam lived one hundred and twenty years, and I think I will only depart at the head of sixty. That made me weep. And he said: “O my little daughter, among the women of the Muslims there is no woman with a greater affliction than you, so do not be less than a woman in patience.” And he whispered to me the second time and told me that I am the first of his family to join him, and he said: “You are the mistress of the women of the people of Paradise except what there is of the virgin Maryam daughter of ‘Imran.” So I laughed at that.’”
