'''Fatima,''' (d. 11 AH/632 AD), daughter of [[Muhammad]] and [[Khadija]], wife of [[ʿAli ibn Abi Talib|ʿAli b. Abi Talib]], mother of [[Hasan B. ʿAli B. Abi Taleb|al-Hasan]] and [[Hussain ibn Ali|al-Hussain]], was the only one of the Prophet’s daughters to enjoy great renown. She became the object of great veneration by all Muslims. This may be because she lived closest to her father, lived longest, and gave him numerous descendants, who spread throughout the Muslim world. <ref>Veccia Vaglieri, L. (2007). “Fāṭima”, in: Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition, Edited by: P. Bearman, Th. Bianquis, C.E. Bosworth, E. van Donzel, W.P. Heinrichs.</ref> She is also one of [[the People of Cloak]] and, in Twelver Shi’ite belief, one of the [[fourteen Infallibles]]. She was the only lady chosen by the Prophet Muhammad to be part of [[Mubahala]] with the Christian of Najran. | '''Fatima,''' (d. 11 AH/632 AD), daughter of [[Muhammad]] and [[Khadija]], wife of [[ʿAli ibn Abi Talib|ʿAli b.
