Her deep affection for the Prophet (s) is evident from his reaction to her death: "Today my mother passed away", he said, and then shrouded her in his dress and lay down in her grave. When he was told: "O Prophet of Allah! You have become so impatient with her loss!", he answered, "She was truly my mother, for she fed me with her children hungry, and she bathed and neatened me while her children were dusty. She was truly my mother".<ref>Farsi translation of tarikh-i ya'qubi, PP. 368-9</ref> | Her deep affection for the Prophet (s) is evident from his reaction to her death: "Today my mother passed away", he said, and then shrouded her in his dress and lay down in her grave.

As Fatima felt the labor pains for her child [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], she testified her faith to [[Allah]] beside the [[Ka'ba]] and prayed for an easy delivery. Suddenly, the walls of the Ka'ba split open in front of her and she entered its premises. Once she entered, the Ka'aba miraculously closed again. She stayed inside for three days and on the fourth day (13 Rajab, thirty years after the [[Year of the Elephant]]), the walls opened for her once again and she came out carrying her infant 'Ali (a) in her arms. | As Fatima felt the labor pains for her child [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], she testified her faith to [[Allah]] beside the [[Ka'ba]] and prayed for an easy delivery.
