He said: She wept until her voice was raised. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) raised his gaze to her and said: "My beloved Fatimah, what is it that makes you weep?" She replied: "I fear the loss (or neglect) after you." He said: "Oh my beloved, do you not know that Allah looked at the earth with a glance and chose from it your father, and sent him with His message? Then He looked at the earth with a glance and chose from it your husband, and revealed to me to marry you to him, O Fatimah. We are a family to whom Allah has granted seven qualities that He did not grant to anyone before us nor will He grant to anyone after us: I am the Seal of the Prophets, the most honored of the Prophets before Allah, and the most beloved of His creatures to Allah. I am your father, and my successor is the best of successors and the most beloved to Allah, and he is your husband. Our martyr is the best of martyrs and the most beloved to Allah, and he is Hamzah ibn Abdul Muttalib, the uncle of your father and the uncle of your husband. Among us is one who has two green wings and flies in Paradise with the angels wherever he wishes, and he is your father's cousin and the brother of your husband. Among us are the two grandsons of this ummah, your sons Hasan and Husayn, and they are the masters of the youth of the people of Paradise. Their father and the one who sent me with the truth is better than them."....
