3b] How the Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) took care of his daughters when they were alive and until after they died

3b]
She said: There was something between me and him, and he got angry with me and went out; he did not take a napin my house. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to someone, “Go and look where he is.” He came andsaid: O Messenger of Allaah, by Allaah, he is in the mosque, sleeping. TheMessenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cameto him and he was lying down. His cloak had fallenfrom his back and he had gotten dusty. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) started wiping it from him, saying: “Get up, Abu’l-Turaab, get up Abu’l-Turaab.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (4300 and Muslim (2409).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) felt sorry for his daughter who was absent, and he interceded for her husband who had been captured by the Muslims, and stipulated that he should send her toMadeenah.
All of that points to the kindness of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) towards his daughters, and that he was very fondof them; in addition to that he wished them well and wanted to save them from the environment of kufr lest they be tempted.He loved for his daughterswhat they loved for themselves of good, especially when it had to do with their husbands orchildren.
All of the above may be summed up in one saheehhadeeth:
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah said: When the people of Makkah sent a ransom for their prisoners, Zaynab sent some wealth as a ransom for Abu’l-Aas, among which she sent a necklace that had belonged to Khadeejah, and she had given it to her to wear when she married Abu’l-Aas. When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw it, he felt very sorry for her, and he said: “If you wish, you may release her prisoner and return what belongs to her?” They said: Yes. And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made him promise to let Zaynab come to him. And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Zayd ibn Haarithah and anAnsaari man and said: “Wait in Batn Ya’jaj (a place on the outskirts of Makkah) until Zaynab passes by you, then stay with her and bring her to me.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (2629) and classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Shaykh Muhammad Shams al-Haqq al-‘Azeemabaadi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“He felt sorry for her” means, for Zaynab, because she was absent and was alone, and he remembered the time of Khadeejah and her companionship, because the necklace had belonged to her.
‘Awn al-Ma’bood al-‘Azeem (7/254).

He took part in the ‘aqeeqah of his daughters’children.
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) offered ‘aqeeqah for al-Hasan and al-Husayn, a ram for each. Narrated by Abu Dawood (2841). According to a report narrated by al-Nasaa’i: two rams for each. Shaykhal-Albaani said: this is more sound.

He checked on his daughters with their husbands, and advised them not to focus on the pleasures of this world.
It was narrated from ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) that Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased with her) complained about the pain caused to her hand by the mill, and some prisoners had been brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so she went but did not find him, but she met ‘Aa’ishahand told her. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came, ‘Aa’ishahtold him about Faatimah coming to her. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to us, and we had gone to bed. We started to get up, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Stay where you are.” Then he sat between us, until I could feel the coolness of his foot on my chest. Thenhe said: “Shall I not teach you something better than what you asked for? When you go to your bed,magnify Allaah thirty-fourtimes, glorify Him thirty-three times and praise Him thirty-three times. That is better for you thana servant.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3502) and Muslim (2727).

The Prophet’s care for his daughters continued evenafter they died. That is represented in the following examples:
(a)
His concern about their washing, and his giving one of his garments for shrouding one of them:
It was narrated that Umm‘Atiyyah al-Ansaariyyah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) entered upon us when hisdaughter died, and said: “Wash her three times, or five, or more than that, if you see fit, :->
