Sunan Abi Dawud 5063

Translation

should I not tell you about me and about Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). She was dearest to him of his family. When she was with me, she pulled mill-stone which affected her hand; she carried water with the water-bag which affected the upper portion of her chest: She swept the house so much so that her clothes became dusty; and she cooked food by which her clothes became black, and it harmed her. We heard that some slaves had been brought to the prophet (May peace be upon him). I said: if you go to your father and ask him for a servant, that will be sufficient for you. She came to him and found some people talking to him. She felt shy and returned. Next morning he visited us when we were in our quilt. He sat beside her head, and she took her head into the quilt out of shame from her father. He asked: What need had you with me, O family of Muhammad? She kept silence twice. I then said: I swear by Allah, I shall tell you. She pulls the mile-stone which has affected her hand; she carrys water with the water-bag which has affected the upper portion of her chest; she sweeps the house by which her clothes have become dusty, and she cooks food by which her clothes have become black. We were told that some slaves or servants had come to you. So I said to her; ask him for a servant. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect as mentioned by al-Hakam rather more perfectly.

  machine translationMu'ammal b. Hishām al-Yashkurī narrated to us, Ismāʿīl b. Ibrāhīm narrated to us, from al-Jurayrī, from Abū al-Ward b. Thumāmah, who said: ʿAlī said to Ibn Aʿbud: Shall I not tell you about myself and about Fāṭimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was the dearest of his family to him, and was my wife? She turned the handmill until it left marks on her hand, and carried water in the waterskin until it left marks on her neck, and swept the house until her clothes became dusty, and lit the cooking pot until her clothes became soiled, and she suffered hardship from that. Then we heard that some slaves had been brought to the Prophet ﷺ. So I said: If you were to go to your father and ask him for a servant to suffice you. She went to him and found some young men with him, so she felt shy and returned. Then he came to us in the morning while we were in our blanket, and sat by her head. She put her head into the blanket out of shyness before her father. He said: "What was your need yesterday from the family of Muḥammad?" She was silent twice. So I said: By Allah, I will tell you, O Messenger of Allah. She turned the handmill with me until it left marks on her hand, and carried water in the waterskin until it left marks on her neck, and swept the house until her clothes became dusty, and lit the cooking pot until her clothes became soiled. And it reached us that slaves or servants had come to you, so I said to her: Ask him for a servant. He then mentioned the meaning of the hadith of al-Ḥakam, and in a more complete form.
