حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا فِرَاسٌ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِيِنَ ، قَالَتْ : إِنَّا كُنَّا أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَهُ جَمِيعًا لَمْ تُغَادَرْ مِنَّا وَاحِدَةٌ ، فَأَقْبَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَام تَمْشِي لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا تَخْفَى مِشْيَتُهَا مِنْ مِشْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَحَّبَ ، قَالَ : مَرْحَبًا بِابْنَتِي ، ثُمَّ أَجْلَسَهَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَوْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ، ثُمَّ سَارَّهَا فَبَكَتْ بُكَاءً شَدِيدًا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى حُزْنَهَا سَارَّهَا الثَّانِيَةَ ، فَإِذَا هِيَ تَضْحَكُ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : أَنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ نِسَائِهِ خَصَّكِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالسِّرِّ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا ، ثُمَّ أَنْتِ تَبْكِينَ ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلْتُهَا عَمَّا سَارَّكِ ، قَالَتْ : مَا كُنْتُ لِأُفْشِيَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِرَّهُ ، فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ قُلْتُ لَهَا : عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكِ بِمَا لِي عَلَيْكِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ ، لَمَّا أَخْبَرْتِنِي . قَالَتْ : أَمَّا الْآنَ فَنَعَمْ ، فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي ، قَالَتْ : أَمَّا حِينَ سَارَّنِي فِي الْأَمْرِ الْأَوَّلِ ، " فَإِنَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ يُعَارِضُهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّةً ، وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ عَارَضَنِي بِهِ الْعَامَ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، وَلَا أَرَى الْأَجَلَ إِلَّا قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ ، فَاتَّقِي اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرِي ، فَإِنِّي نِعْمَ السَّلَفُ أَنَا لَكِ ، قَالَتْ : فَبَكَيْتُ بُكَائِي الَّذِي رَأَيْتِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى جَزَعِي سَارَّنِي الثَّانِيَةَ ، قَالَ : يَا فَاطِمَةُ ، أَلَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنْ تَكُونِي سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، أَوْ سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ " .
Narrated `Aisha: Mother of the Believers: We, the wives of the Prophet were all sitting with the Prophet and none of us had left when Fatima came walking, and by Allah, her gait was very similar to that of Allah's Apostle .' When he saw her, he welcomed her, saying, "Welcome, O my daughter!" Then he made her sit on his right or his left, confided something to her, whereupon she wept bitterly. When he noticed her sorrow, he confided something else to her for the second time, and she started laughing. Only I from among the Prophet's wives said to her, "(O Fatima), Allah's Apostle selected you from among us for the secret talk and still you weep?" When Allah's Apostle got up (and went away), I asked her, "What did he confide to you?" She said, "I wouldn't disclose the secrets of Allah's Apostle" But when he died I asked her, "I beseech you earnestly by what right I have on you, to tell me (that secret talk which the Prophet had with you)" She said, "As you ask me now, yes, (I will tell you)." She informed me, saying, "When he talked to me secretly the first time, he said that Gabriel used to review the Qur'an with him once every year. He added, 'But this year he reviewed it with me twice, and therefore I think that my time of death has approached. So, be afraid of Allah, and be patient, for I am the best predecessor for you (in the Hereafter).' " Fatima added, "So I wept as you (`Aisha) witnessed. And when the Prophet saw me in this sorrowful state, he confided the second secret to me saying, 'O Fatima! Will you not be pleased that you will be chief of all the believing women (or chief of the women of this nation i.e. my followers?")

Hadith Commentary:
Whispering was prohibited so that the third person present would not develop suspicion. If there is no likelihood of this danger in the gathering, then whispering is also permissible, as is mentioned regarding the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) whispering to Fatimah al-Zahra (radi Allahu anha).

Hadith Commentary:
In one narration, it is mentioned that when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) whispered to Fatimah (radi Allahu anha) for the second time, he said:
“You will be the first of my household to join me.”
At this, she laughed.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Maghazi, Hadith: 4433)
From this hadith, Imam al-Bukhari (rahimahullah) has established both parts of the chapter heading.
Firstly, that it is permissible to whisper (confide) in the presence of a group, and secondly, that a secret should be kept hidden during one’s lifetime, but after the person passes away, there is no harm in disclosing it.
Both of these points are established from this hadith.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
In other narrations, it is mentioned that first the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said that his passing was near, upon which Fatimah (radi Allahu anha) began to weep. Then he said that she would be the first to join him, so she began to smile. This hadith establishes the great virtue of Fatimah al-Zahra (radi Allahu anha).
Indeed, she is the beloved daughter and the light of the eyes of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and for this reason, she is the most deserving of every virtue.
