*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. Please ask your father, that he give his turban which he usually used to receive revelations to be used as my shroud. I am ashamed and afraid to ask for it myself."
Hearing that, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "O Khadija, Allah sends greetings to you, and has prepared your place in heaven."
Siti Khadijah, Ummul Mu'minin (the mother of the believers), then breathed her last in the lap of the Prophet. He embraced his wife feeling very, very sad . The tears of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and all those who were there were shed.

In such an atmosphere, the Angel Gabriel descended from the sky with greetings and brought five shrouds.
The Messenger of Allah answered Gabriel's greetings, then asked, "Who is the shroud for, O Jibril?"
"This shroud is for Khadijah, for you, O Messenger of Allah, for Fatima, Ali and Hasan," replied Jibril who suddenly stopped saying, then wept.
The Messenger of Allah asked, "Why, O Jibril?"
"Your one grandson, Husain, does not have a shroud. He will be slaughtered, lying without a shroud and not bathed," replied Jibril.
The Prophet said near Khadijah's body, "O Khadija my dear wife, by Allah, I will never get a wife like you. Your devotion to Islam and myself is extraordinary. Allah knows all your deeds. 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!?"
The Prophet sobbed reminiscing about
