(If this is your way of dealing) then each one of you should give me his son to kill if you want me to give you Muhammad to kill." Abu Talib's honourable stands in protecting the Prophet were numerous. Had it not been for his faith and strong adherence to Islam, he would not have been steadfast in defending the Messenger and his divine faith. Contrary to Abu Talib, another uncle of the Prophet (S), Abu Lahab-fought fiercely and opposed the Prophet.

His shameful conduct was recorded in various history books, and in the Holy Qur’an. Lady Khadija's (as) Death Fatima's life was passing by with years full of sorrow, and infliction. When she reached her seventh, or, eighth year, another tragedy clouded her life. The death of Fatima’s (sa) mother, Lady Khadija (as), brought sadness, and grief to her heart; for Lady Khadija (as) was an affectionate mother, who had predicted the tough life her darling daughter would live.

During Lady Khadija's (as) last days, she was confined to bed. One day the Prophet of Allah (S) said to her: "What you are encountering, is because of us Lady Khadija (as); when you meet your peers send my Salam to them!" Lady Khadija (as) questioned: " Who are they; O Prophet of Allah?" He answered: "Maryam Bint Imran, Kalthum (Musa's sister), and Assia-Pharaoh's wife." She then said: "May you live in harmony and have sons, O Prophet of Allah." The Messenger of Allah used to say: "I was commanded to give Khadija the good news of a dwelling in Paradise made of brocade where there is neither clamoring nor strain." [^1] Ibn Al-Athir said that the brocade mentioned in this tradition, is palace-like hallow pearls.

Lady Khadija (as) was once crying in the presence of Asma Bint Umais, who said to her: "Why are you crying while you are the Mistress of all women, and the Prophet's wife, who will enter Paradise as he has said?" Khadija replied: "l am not crying (for fear of death), rather, I am crying because every woman needs a close friend on her wedding night to tell her secrets to and help her in certain issues; Fatima is still very young, and I am afraid that she will be alone on her wedding night!" Asma said: "O my mistress, I vow to you, by Allah, that if I am alive then, I will take your place..." Lady Khadija (as) died at the age of sixty-three (according to some historians).
