Death of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid

Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, the Prophet's first wife and the first person to accept Islam, died in Mecca at approximately 65 years of age. She had supported the Prophet spiritually, emotionally, and financially for 25 years of marriage and 10 years of prophethood. Jibreel sent her salam from Allah and gave her glad tidings of a palace in Paradise of hollowed pearls where there would be no noise or fatigue. The Prophet never forgot her and Aisha later said she was never jealous of any wife as much as Khadijah.
