Hazrat Fatima (as) said : My dear husband, you know that this is the last day of my life, I am happy and also I am sad. Happy I am that my troubles will shortly be over and I shall meet my father and sorry I am to part from you. Please, make a note of what I say and do as I wish you to do. After me you may marry anybody you like but you must marry my cousin Yamama, she loves my children and Husain is very much attached to her. Let Fizza remain with you even after her marriage, if she so desires, she was more than a mere servant to me. I loved her like my daughter. Bury me in the night and do not let those who have been so cruel to me to attend my burial. Let my death not dishearten you, you have to serve Islam and humanity for a long time to come. Let not my sufferings embitter your life, please promise me. Hazrat Ali said, Yes, Fatima I promise. She continued, I know how you love my children but be very careful of Husain. He loves me too dearly and will miss me sadly, be a mother unto him. Till my recent illness he used to sleep on my chest, he is already missing it. Ali was caressing the broken hand and was sobbing, and tears dropped on her hand. She looked up and said, Do not weep; I know what a tender heart you possess. You have already borne too much and will have to bear more. Farewell my lord, Farewell my dear husband, Say Good-bye to me. Sorrow had choked Ali, his words were mixed with his tears, he said, Good_-bye Fatima. Hearing this she said, May the merciful Lord help you to bear these sorrows and sufferings patiently. Now let me be alone with my God. Saying this she turned towards her prayer carpet and prostrated before God.. When after a little time Hazrat Ali entered the room he found her still in prostration but the soul had departed to join her Holy father in the realm of His Grace, Mercy and Might. She died very young as Hazrat Ali says, A flower nipped in the bud, it was from Heaven and it went back to Heaven, but has left its fragrance in my mind.
