Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were walking with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) when the Prophet’s gaze fell upon a woman. We did not think that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have recognized her. When we turned our attention to the road, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped there. When the woman arrived, it became clear that she was Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked her, “Fatimah! Have you left your house for some work?” She replied, “I came to the people of this house; there had been a death here, so I thought I would offer condolences and pray for mercy for the deceased.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Then you must have gone with them to the graveyard?” She said, “God forbid that I would go with them to the graveyard, while I remember what I have heard from you regarding this.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “If you had gone with them, you would not have seen Paradise until your father’s grandfather saw it.”
