About Fatima al-Batayahiyyah
Fāțima bint Ibrahim ibn Mahmūd al-Bațā'ihiyya also known as Fatima al-Batayahiyyah was a Muslim scholar of hadith in the 8th century.
When she had become old, she moved to Madinah and taught her students for days in the Prophet's mosque itself. Whenever she tired, she would rest her head on the Muhammad's grave and continue to teach her students. This tradition is contrasted with the practice today, where people are not allowed to view Muhammad's resting place.
