Main article: Fatimah
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. In particular, the hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari is narrated from Muhammad's wife Aisha. Muhammad is also said to have listed Fatima, Khadija, Maryam, and Asiya as the four outstanding women of all time, according to the Shia Abu al-Futuh al-Razi and the Sunni Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (d. 1209), among others.
