*Khadijah (R A) is indeed a special woman!!!*
TWO THIRD (2/3) of the Makkah area belongs to Siti Khadijah bint Khuwailid, the first wife of the Prophet. She is a noble woman who bears the glory and abundance of wealth. But when she died, she did not have a shroud. Even the clothes she wore at the time of her death were shabby clothes with 83 patches.
"Fatimah my daughter, I believe my death will come soon," whispered Khadijah to Fatimah just before her death. "What I fear is the torment of the grave.

All of your wealth you donate to Islam. The Muslims also enjoy it . All the clothes of the Muslims and my clothes are also from you. However, why is your last request to me just a turban!?"
