According to the Shia, her death was the result of injuries sustained after the raid of her house by Umar ibn al-Khattab. Muhammad appeared to her in a dream and informed Fatimah that she would be passing away the next day. Fatimah informed Ali of her impending death and asked him not to allow her oppressors to be involved in her ceremonial prayers ("janazah prayer " performed in congregation after the death of a Muslim) or take part in the burial.
