==Children==
Fatima bt.Asad was the mother of eight children: [[Talib b. Abi Talib|Talib]], [['Aqil b. Abi Talib|'Aqil]], [[Ja'far b. Abi Talib|Ja'far]], [['Ali (a)]], [[Hind bt. Abi Talib|Hind]] (or [[Umm Hani]]), [[Jumana bt. Abi Talib|Jumana]], [[Rayta bt. Abi Talib|Rayta]] (or Umm Talib), and [[Asma' bt. Abi Talib|Asma']].

==Guardianship of the Prophet (s)==
Due to the successive deaths of his father, mother, and grandfather, the guardianship of the [[Prophet of Islam (s)]] was taken over by [[Abu Talib]] (his uncle) at the age of eight. Fatima bt. Asad -being Abu Talib's wife- played a crucial role in his care.

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, she would feed me when her children were hungry and she would leave her children dirty and clean me".<ref>''Tarikh al-Ya'qubi, vol. 2, p. 14</ref>

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 ([[Rajab 13]], 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.

===Allegiance to the Prophet (s)===
After the [[conquest of Mecca]], as the Prophet (s) was asking the men for their [[allegiance]] on [[al-Safa Mountain]], faithful women of Mecca also came to pledge their allegiance. [[Ibn Abi al-Hadid]] states that Fatima bt.Asad was the first woman who swore allegiance to the Prophet (s).<ref>Ibn Abi al-Hadid, Vol.1, P.14</ref> This is when verse 12 of [[Sura al-Mumtahana]] was revealed:

Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful".

It is said that Fatima bt. Asad died in 4/626 in [[Medina]];<ref>Ibn Jawzi, Yusuf b. Hisam al-Din, ''Tadhkirat al-kawas'', Qahira: Maktaba al-Thiqafa al-Diniyya, p. 6.</ref> however, this cannot be accurate if she was the first woman who swore an allegiance to the Prophet (s) after the Conquest of Mecca in 8/630.
