´Narrated Umm Salamah:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called for Fatimah in the Year of the Conquest to speak to her, and she cried. Then he spoke to her and she laughed. She said: "When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) died I asked her about her crying and her laughing. She said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) informed me that he would (soon) die, so I cried. Then, he informed me that I was the master over all of the women among the inhabitants of Paradise, except for Mariam bint 'Imran, so I laughed.'"

Explanation: 1: There is no contradiction between the previous hadith and this hadith; that was a different incident and this is another incident. Also, one should not consider there to be any contradiction between the two reasons for Fatimah radi Allahu anha's laughter; both matters are causes for happiness.
