"عَنْ طلاب بْنِ حَوْشَب أَخِى الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبيهِ، عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ الْحُسينِ، عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِىٍّ، عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِب أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِفَاطِمَةَ: إذْهَبِى إِلَى أَبِيكِ فسَلِيهِ يَعْطِيكِ خَادِمًا يَقيكِ الرَّحَى وَحَرَّ التَّنُّورِ، فَأَتَتْهُ فَسَأَلَتْهُ فَقَالَ: إِذَا جَاءَ سَبْىٌ فَأتِينَا، فَجَاءَ سَبْىٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَة الْبَحْرَيْنِ، فَلَم يَزَلِ النَّاسُ يَطلُبُونَ وَيَسْأَلُونَهُ إِيَّاهُ، وَكانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ مِعْطَاءً لاَ يُسْئَلُ شَيْئًا إلاَ أَعْطَاهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَبْقَ شَئٌ أَتَتْهُ تَطْلُبُ فَقَالَ لَها رَسُولُ الله ﷺ: جَاءَنَا سَبْىٌ فَطَلَبَهُ النَّاسُ ولَكِنْ أُعَلِّمُكِ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَك منْ خَادِمٍ، إِذَا آوَيْتِ إِلَى فِرَاشِكِ فَقُولِى: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمواتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبَ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظَيم رَبَّنا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُنَزِّلَ التِّورَاةِ، وَالإِنْجِيلِ، وَالْقُرْآنِ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى إِنِى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُل شَئٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ، أَنْتَ الأوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَئٌ، وَأَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَئٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْس فَوْقَكَ شَئٌ، اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وأَغَننَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ، فَانْصَرَفَتْ فَاطِمَةُ رَاضِيَةً بِذَلِكَ مِنَ الْجَارِيَةِ، قَالَ عَلِىٌّ: فَمَا تَركْتُها مُنْذُ عَلَّمَنِى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ قِيلَ: وَلاَ لَيْلَةَ صِفِّينَ؟ قَالَ: وَلاَ لَيْلَةَ صِفِّينَ".

“On the authority of Talaq ibn Hawshab, brother of al-'Awwam ibn Hawshab, from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from 'Ali ibn al-Husayn, from al-Husayn ibn 'Ali, from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, that he said to Fatimah: Go to your father and ask him to give you a servant who will spare you the millstone and the heat of the oven. So she went to him and asked him, and he said: When captives come, come to us. Then captives came from the direction of Bahrain, and people kept asking him for them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was generous and would not be asked for anything without giving it. When nothing was left, she came to him seeking it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: Captives came to us and people asked for them, but I will teach you something better for you than a servant. When you go to your bed, say: O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and Lord of everything, who sent down the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran, who splits the grain and the date-stone, I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything You hold by its forelock. You are the First, so nothing is before You, and You are the Last, so nothing is after You, and You are the Manifest, so nothing is above You. Settle our debt for us and enrich us from poverty. So Fatimah departed, content with that instead of the servant girl. 'Ali said: I have not left it since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught it to me. It was said: Not even on the night of Siffin? He said: Not even on the night of Siffin.”
