Hadith 3471
The Prophet (ﷺ) in his fatal illness, called his daughter Fatima and told her a secret because of which she
started weeping. Then he called her and told her another secret, and she started laughing. When I
asked her about that, she replied, The Prophet (ﷺ) told me that he would die in his fatal illness, and so I
wept, but then he secretly told me that from amongst his family, I would be the first to join him, and
so I laughed."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 61, Hadith 130

Once Fatima came walking and her gait resembled the gait of the Prophet (ﷺ) . The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Welcome, O my daughter!" Then he made her sit on his right or on his left side, and then he told her
a secret and she started weeping. I asked her, "Why are you weeping?" He again told her a secret and
she started laughing. I said, "I never saw happiness so near to sadness as I saw today." I asked her
what the Prophet (ﷺ) had told her. She said, "I would never disclose the secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." When
the Prophet (ﷺ) died, I asked her about it. She replied. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Every year Gabriel used to
revise the Quran with me once only, but this year he has done so twice. I think this portends my
death, and you will be the first of my family to follow me.' So I started weeping. Then he said. 'Don't
you like to be the chief of all the ladies of Paradise or the chief of the believing women? So I
laughed for that." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 61, Hadith 129
