Shia narrations

Sunni narrations
Sunni Islam considers Fatimah (Muhammad's daughter and Ali's wife) as Sayyidat Nisa al-Alamin;,[1][19][20] although there are also some other narrations from Sunni sources which name four women as the greatest women of the universes, namely Khadijah, Fatimah, Maryam, and Asiyah (Pharaoh's wife).[21][22][23]
There are quotations from famous Sunni scholars who name Fatimah as Sayyidat Nisa Al-Alamin,[4][24][25] There are also similar narration(s) from Sunni sources that the Islamic Prophet Muhammad said to Fatimah: O Fatimah, aren't you happy to be the leader of the women of the world and the leader of all Mo'men women and the leader of this Ummah women.[26][27]
