Context
We also relate from the book of Ibn as-Sunnī that ‘Abdullāh ibn al-Ḥasan reported from his mother that his grandmother said: “When the Messenger of Allah 
entered the mosque he would praise Allah, mention His name, and say: ‘O Allah, forgive me and open for me the doors of Your Mercy.’ When he left he would say the same, then add: ‘O Allah, open for me the doors of Your Bounty.’” [4].

Abū ‘Īsā at-Tirmidhī states that the hadith of Fāṭimah is ḥasan, but its chain of narration is not continous. Fāṭimah bint al-Ḥusayn did not meet Fāṭimah al-Kubrā, as the latter only outlived the Prophet by a few years. Ibn Ḥajar states that Ḥusayn’s 
age at the time of his mother’s death was less than eight years.
