Hunger of Sayyedah Fatemah (s.a.) and the Prophet (s.a.w.s.)’s Prayer

 
Shaikh Kulaini relates from Imam Muhammad al Baqir (a.s.), who relates from Jabir bin Abdullah al Ansari, that one day the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) decided to meet Sayyedah Fatemah (s.a.) and went towards her house while I was alongwith him. When we reached the door, he knocked at it and said, “Peace be upon you”! Fatemah (s.a.) replied, “Peace be upon you O Prophet of Allah”! The Prophet asked, “Should I enter therein” and she (s.a.) replied, “You may enter O Prophet of Allah”. The Prophet asked, “Should I enter alongwith the  one accompanying me”? Fatemah (s.a.) replied, “O Prophet of Allah ! I do not have a veil”. The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “O Fatemah ! Then cover your head with the extra part of your Chador”. Fatemah (s.a.) did as directed and the Prophet said, “Peace be upon you”. Fatemah (s.a.) replied, “Peace be upon you O Prophet of Allah”. The Prophet continued, “Do you permit me to enter therein” and she replied in the affimative. The Prophet said, “Do I enter alongwith the person accompanying me”? Fatemah (s.a.) replied, “Yes, both of you may enter herein”. Both of us entered therein and we (the Prophet) saw that Fatemah (s.a.)’s face had turned pale. The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) asked her the reason and she replied, “O Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.) ! It is due to excessive hunger”. Hearing this the Prophet said, “O Allah (s.w.t.) Who satiates the hungry, Who amends the affairs of the deficient ones, satiate Fatemah, the daughter of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.)”.
