Verses of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on the death of Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) lived for only two months after the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) would say (out of intense grief): "O my dear father, how near he has drawn to his Lord! O my dear father, whose abode is the Gardens of Eternity! O my dear father, when he came to his Lord, his Lord honoured him! O my dear father, when he met his Lord, the Lord and His messengers sent peace upon him!" Then when Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away, Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) recited these verses: "Every gathering of two close friends ends in parting, and all that falls short of parting is little. My losing one (beloved) after another is proof that no friend lasts forever."
