A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Fatima (a.s.) lived for seventy-five days after the death of the Messenger of Allah. During this time, she was never seen laughing or smiling.

Every week she would go twice to the gravesites of the martyrs, once on Monday and on Thursdays, and say, ‘There was the Messenger of Allah (s.w) and there were the pagans.'" In another Hadith, Aban has narrated from those whom he has mentioned from Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), who has said the following: "She would perform salat (prayer) there and pray until she died." صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/275))
