"عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الله الْهَاشِمِىِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: أَتَتْ عَليًّا امْرَأَتَانِ فَسَأَلَتَاهُ عربية ومولاة لها فَأَمَر لِكُلِّ وَاحدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا بكرٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَمًا، فَأَخَذَت الْمَوْلَاةُ الَّذِى أُعْطِيَتْ وَذَهَبَتْ، وَقَالَتِ الْعَرَبِيَّةُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: تُعْطِينِى مِثْلَ الَّذِى أَعْطَيْتَ هَذِهِ وَأَنَا عَرَبِيَّةٌ وَهِى مَوْلَاةٌ، قَالَ لَهَا عَلِىٌّ: إِنِّى نَظَرْتُ فِى كِتَابِ الله - ﷻ - فَلَمْ أَرَ فِيهِ فَضْلًا لِوَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَلَى وَلَدِ إِسْحَاقَ".

"From 'Isa ibn 'Abdullah al-Hashimi, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: 'Two women came to 'Ali and asked him, an Arab woman and her freedwoman. He ordered that each of them be given a measure of food and forty dirhams. The freedwoman took what she was given and left, and the Arab woman said: 'O Commander of the Believers, you give me the same as you gave her, though I am Arab and she is a freedwoman?' 'Ali said to her: 'I examined the Book of Allah, ﷻ, and I did not find in it any superiority of the children of Isma'il over the children of Ishaq.'"
