Sayyidatuna Khadijah passed away

The heart of the Holy Nabi صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم was still aching for Abu Taalib. Just three or five days after his death, Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا also passed away. After Abu Taalib, she was the next most sincere helper and supporter of the Holy Nabi صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم in Makkah. She spent her wealth as well as her time serving the Greatest Nabi صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم . When there was no sincere advisor and comforter of the Holy Nabi صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم in the world, she would sympathize and comfort him at that time. Extremely saddened by the demise [i.e. death] of Abu Taalib and Sayyidatuna Khadijah, he صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم named that year ‘عام الحزن’ i.e. the year of grief. Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا passed away in the month of Ramadan 10 Nabawi at the age of 65. She was buried at Hajoon (in the Jannat-ul-Ma’la). The Holy Nabi صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم descended into her grave and buried her with his own blessed hands.¹
