Then, he informed me that I was the master over all of the women among the inhabitants of Paradise, except for Mariam bint 'Imrān, so I laughed.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
Here in this narration, if 'the year of conquest' means the 'Conquest of Makkah' then we have to accept that this event took place twice. Once Umm Salamah witnessed, and once 'Aishah witnessed this event, when the Prophet ﷺ was on his death bed. Both of them had the right to ask Fātimah the cause of weeping and laughing.
