The Weeping of Saidina Fatimah RA.



Saidina Faatimah RA, Weeps at the Pale Appearance of Rasulullah SAW Caused by the Exertion In the Duty Allah SWT Entrusted to Him. Abu Tha'laba Khushani RA narrates that Rasulullah SAW once returned from a battle and entered the Masjid to perform two Rakaahs of salaah. Whenever he returned from a journey, Rasulullah SAW always liked to proceed first to the Masjid to perform two Rakaahs of salah and then go to the house of Saidina Faatima RA, his daughter before proceeding to the homes of his wives. 

Consequently, he went to the home of Saidina Faatimah RA upon returning from a particular journey before going to see his wives. Welcoming him at the door, Saidina Faatimah RA started kissing Rasulullaah SAW his face and his eyes. She then began weeping. When Rasulullah SAW asked her what it was that made her weep, she replied, "0 Rasulullah!! It is because I see your face so pale and your clothing so tattered (because of the strenuousness of the journey) ." 

And to this, Rasulullaah SAW said, "Do not weep, 0 Faatimah.  Allah has sent your father with a Deen by means of which He will enter honour or disgrace into every baked and unbaked home and every skin tent on the surface of the earth (those who accept Islam will have the honour while the others will have the disgrace). It (the Deen) shall reach wherever th e night reaches (everywhere).
