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]
