The story of the death of Fatimah Az Zahra

According to the hadith, Fatimah RA was the first family member of the Prophet SAW to die after himself. From Urwah, from Aisha RA, she said, “Fatimah died six months after the death of the Messenger of Allah.”
According to the book Gardens of the Prophet’s Love: Stories of the Lover of the Prophet Muhammad SAW’s Heart Full of Wisdom and Coolness by Prof. Dr. Abdurrahman Umairah, before her death, Fatimah RA suffered from severe pain.
The pain he suffered became worse until he complained to Asma’ binti Amis, as his servant, about the pain that infected his body. Fatimah RA also said,
“Can you cover me with something?” Fatimah RA also added, “I saw that the Abyssinians always made beds for women and covered them with coffins.”
Then Asma’ told someone to make the coffin, when Asma’ turned, Fatimah RA said,
“O my servant, prepare water for bathing,”
After that Asma’ actually prepared water for Fatimah RA’s bath.
He then said to Asma’, “Take my new clothes,”
After the clothes were given to her, Fatimah RA again said, “O my servant, I will be called at this time, and I have taken a bath, so don’t let anyone open my shoulders.”
After that, Fatimah RA was called by Allah SWT. His death coincided with Tuesday night in the month of Ramadan in the year 11 Hijri.
