أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ قَالَ
خَطَبَ عَلِيٌّ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ إِلَى عَمِّهَا الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ فَاسْتَشَارَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَعَنْ حَسَبِهَا تَسْأَلُنِي؟» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَدْ أَعْلَمُ مَا حَسَبُهَا وَلَكِنْ أَتَأْمُرُنِي بِهَا؟ فَقَالَ «لَا فَاطِمَةُ مُضْغَةٌ مِنِّي وَلَا أَحْسِبُ إِلَّا وَأَنَّهَا تَحْزَنُ أَوْ تَجْزَعُ» فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَا آتِي شَيْئًا تَكْرَهُهُ

✧ Ali proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl to her uncle al-Harith b. Hisham. He consulted the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "Are you asking me about her lineage?" Ali said, "I know her lineage, but do you command me to marry her?" He said, "No. Fatimah is a piece of flesh from me, and I think only that she will grieve or become distressed." Ali said, "I will not do anything you dislike."
