It is quoted in Misbahul Anwar from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq who relates from his fore-fathers that, “When Fatimah’s end drew near, she willed to the Commander of the Faithful ‘Ali saying, ‘When I pass away, you yourself give me the ceremonial bath, shroud me, pray upon me and bury me. Build my grave and sprinkle earth upon it, then sit at the head of my grave opposite my face and recite the Qur’an abundantly and supplicate, for it is at that moment when a dead person requires affection of the living ones, and I entrust you to Allah and request you to deal with fairness towards my children.’ She then pressed her daughter Umme Kulthum to her heart and said, ‘And when this daughter of mine reaches maturity, the household articles are for her, and may Allah be her support.’”
It is also related that when the end of Sayyidah approached she wept for sometime. The Commander of the Faithful ‘Ali asked, “Why do you weep?” She replied, “I weep upon the sufferings and persecutions that will befall you after me.” Imam ‘Ali said, “Do not weep. For by Allah, these sufferings are nothing for me in the way of Allah.”
