She did not like decoration or pomp and grandeur. She used to lead a simple life.

Even after starvation for 2-3 days, if some provision was arranged and if at the moment a beggar came to her door, she would hand it over to the beggar. She herself would spend her day simply by drinking water.

When in deathbed, the Prophet (Sm) saked her to come and said to her, O my mother! I shall be no more, I shall take leave of you. Fatima (Ra) was grief-stricken and began to cry. Seeing this, the Prophet (Sm) bought his face to her car and whispered, Mother! Of all members of my family you will be the first to join me. Hearing this, Fatima (Ra) smiled with pleasure.
