There is difference of opinion among the historians regarding the age of Fatemah (s.a.) after the death of the Prophet (s.a.w.s.), the majority six months and minimum forty days as related by them. But the opinion that we accept is that Fatemah (s.a.) remained alive for fifty-nine days after the death of her Eminent father (s.a.w.s.) and passed away on the third of Jamadi’ul Akhar eleventh Hijrah.
Muhammad bin Jareer Tabari Imami relates through reliable sources from Abu Baseer, that Imam Ja'far as Sadiq (a.s.) said that Fatemah (s.a.) passed away on the third of the month of Jamadi'us Saani eleventh Hijrah. The reason for her death was that Qunzuf, the slave of Umar bin Khattab, struck at her with the handle of his sheath by the orders of Umar, and her child Muhsin was aborted. Thus Fatemah (s.a.) fell severely ill, and when she lay on her bed, she did not permit anyone from among who had troubled her, to come to visit her.
