"عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ قَالَ: أَصَابَتْ عَلِيًا خَصَاصَةٌ فَقَالَ لِفَاطِمَةَ: لَوْ أَتَيْتِ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلتِه؛ فَأَتَتْهُ - وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ - فَدَقَّتِ البَابَ؛ فَقَالَ النَّبِى ﷺ لأمِّ أَيْمَنَ: إنَّ هَذَا لَدَقُّ فَاطِمَةَ، وَلَقَدْ أَتَتْنَا فِى سَاعَةٍ مَا عَوَدَتْنَا أَنْ تَأتِيَنَا فِى مِثْلِهَا (فَقُومِى فَافْتحِى لَهَا البَابَ، فَفَتَحَتْ لَهَا الْبَابَ، فَقَالَ: يَا فَاطِمَةُ لَقَدْ أَتَيْتِنَا فِى سَاعَة مَا عَوَّدْتِنَا أَنْ تَأتِينَا فِى مِثْلِهَا)، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ الله هَذِهِ المَلاَئِكَةُ طَعَامُهَا التَّهْلِيلُ وَالتسبيحُ وَالتَّحْمِيدُ، مَا طَعَامُنَا؟ قَالَ: وَالَّذِى بَعَثنِى بِالحَقِّ مَا احتبس فِى (بيت) آلِ مُحَمَّدِ منذ ثَلاَثِينَ يَوْمًا، وَلَقَدْ أَتَتَنَا أَعْنُزٌ، فَإِنْ شِئْتِ أَمَرْنَا لَك بخَمْسَةِ أَعْنُزٍ، وَإنْ شِئْتِ عَلمْتُكِ كلِمَات عَلَّمَنِيهِن جِبْرِيلُ، فَقَالَتْ: بَلْ عَلمْنِى الخَمْسَ كلمَات الَّتى عَلمَكَهُن جِبْرِيلُ، قَالَ: قُولى: يَا أَوَّلَ الأوَّلِينَ، يَا آخِرَ الآخِرِينَ، وَيَا ذَا القُوةِ المَتِينِ، وَيَا رَاحِمَ المَسَاكِينِ، وَيَا أَرْحَمَ الراحِمِينَ. فَانْصَرَفَتْ فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَلِىٍّ فَقَالَ: مَا وَرَاءَكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: (ذهبت) من عندك إلى الدُّنيا وَأَتَيْتُكَ بِالآخِرَةِ، فَقَالَ: خَيْرُ أَيَّامِكِ، خَيْرُ أَيَّامِكِ".

"From Suwayd ibn Ghaflah, who said: 'Ali suffered severe poverty, so he said to Fatimah: If you went to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him. So she went to him, and Umm Ayman was with him. She knocked on the door. The Prophet ﷺ said to Umm Ayman: This is Fatimah's knock, and she has come to us at an hour she has never come to us at before. (Get up and open the door for her, so she opened the door for her. He said: O Fatimah, you have come to us at an hour you have never come to us at before). She said: O Messenger of Allah, these angels, their food is tahlil, tasbih, and tahmid; what is our food? He said: By He who sent me with the truth, no fire has been kindled in the house (house) of the family of Muhammad for thirty days. Goats came to us, so if you wish we will order five goats for you, and if you wish I will teach you words that Jibril taught me. She said: Rather, teach me the five words that Jibril taught you. He said: Say: O First of the first, O Last of the last, O Possessor of firm strength, O Merciful to the needy, O Most Merciful of the merciful. She returned and entered upon 'Ali, and he said: What happened? She said: (You went) from you to this world, and I brought you the Hereafter. He said: The best of your days, the best of your days."
