Fatima and the Daughters of Muhammad

Fatima and the Daughters of Muhammad (French Fatima et les Filles de Mahomet) is a book written by Henri Lammens (Rome and Paris: Scripta Pontificii Instituti Biblici, 1912), in which he claims that Fatima was Muhammad's favourite daughter and that Muhammad intended his succession to go through her children.[1] He also claims that Muhammad's household, the Ahl al-Bayt, consisted exclusively of his wives, to the exclusion of his blood relations.[2] Louis Massignon criticized Lammens for 'misinforming' his readers with his 'far too cynical and disparaging study' of Fatima.[3]
