Sayyidat Nisa' al-Alamin (
Arabic: سيدة نساء العالمين,
lit. 'mistress of the women of the worlds') is a title of
Fatima (
d. 632), daughter of the
Islamic prophet Muhammad. She is recognized by this title and by Sayyidat Nisa' al-Janna (
lit.'mistress of the women of paradise') in
Shia and Sunni collections of hadith, including the canonical Sunni Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.[1] In particular, the hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari is narrated from Muhammad's wife
Aisha.[2] Muhammad is also said to have listed Fatima,
Khadija,
Maryam, and
Asiya as the four outstanding women of all time,[3][4] according to the Shia
Abu al-Futuh al-Razi and the Sunni
Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (
d. 1209), among others.[5]
