Fātima, the daughter of Sheykh Salāhu-’d-Dīn Ferīdūn, was married to Sultan Veled, Jelāl’s son. Jelāl used to teach her to read the Qur’ān and other books.
Jelāl used to call Fātima his right eye; her sister Hediyya, his left eye; and their mother, Latīfa Khātūn, the personification of God’s grace.
When Fātima’s marriage was solemnised, all the angels of heaven were present, and wished the young couple all happiness.
She was a saint, and continually worked miracles. She fasted by day and watched by night, tasting food only once in three days. She was very charitable to the poor, the orphans, and the widows, distributing to them food and raiment.
Sheykh Ferīdūn died on New Year’s Day, A.H. 657 (28th December, A.D. 1258).
