Fatima was born to Khadija and Mohammed when the latter was thircy-five ...years of age. On the day when Fatima was conceived, the prophet was sitting in the evening and had a dream in which there suddenly appeared an angel who led him up to heaven, and there he saw a tree with a pomegranate, the appearance of which was like an apple, having a white inside, tinged with red. Mohammed tasted and found it extraordinarily sweet and fragrant.
