Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day I was helping the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ablution. He asked: Would you like to go and visit Fatimah in her illness? I said: Yes. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) got up, leaning on me, and he said: Soon someone other than you will carry its burden, and its reward will be yours. The narrator says: It felt as though there was nothing on me, until we came to the house of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: How are you? She said: By Allah, my distress has become severe, my want has grown long, and my illness has become prolonged. Abdullah says: I found this hadith written in my father's book in his own handwriting, and in it are these words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you not pleased that I have married you to the one who is the earliest of my Ummah in accepting Islam, the greatest of them in knowledge, and the greatest of them in forbearance?"
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Khalid bin Tahman, whom Abu Hatim and others declared thiqah (trustworthy), and the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
