" عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: خُطِبَتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لِى مَوْلاَةٌ لِى: هَلْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ فَاطِمةَ خُطِبَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قُلتُ: لاَ. قَالَتْ: قَدْ خُطِبَتْ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَأتِىَ رسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَيُزَوِّجَكَ؟ فَقُلتُ: وَعِنْدى شَىْءٌ أَتَزَوجُ به؟ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّكَ إِنْ جِئْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ زَوَّجَكَ، فَوَ اللهِ مَا زَالَتْ تُرَجِّينِى حَتَّى دَخَلتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَلاَلَتُهُ وَهَيْبَتُهُ فَلَما قَعَدْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ أُفْحمْتُ، فَوَاللهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ أَلَكَ حَاجَةٌ؟ فَسَكَتُّ. فَقَالَ: مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ أَلَكَ حَاجَةٌ؟ فَسَكَتُّ. فَقَالَ: لَعَلَّكَ جئْتَ تَخْطُبُ فَاطِمَةَ. فَقُلتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: وَهَلْ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ شَئ تَسْتَحِلُّهَا بِهِ؟ فقُلتُ: لاَ، وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا فَعَلَتْ دِرع سَلَّحْتُكُهَا؟ فَوَالَّذِى نَفْسُ عَلِىٍّ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَحُطمِيَّةٌ مَا ثَمَنُهَا أَرْبَعُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَ فَابْعَثْ بِهَا إلَيْهَا فَاسْتَحِلَّهَا بِهَا، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَصَدَاقَ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ".

"From Ali, who said: Fatimah was proposed in marriage to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A freedwoman of mine said to me: Did you know that Fatimah has been proposed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? I said: No. She said: She has been proposed to, so what prevents you from going to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that he may marry you? I said: And do I have anything to marry with? She said: If you go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he will marry you. By Allah, she kept encouraging me until I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had his majesty and dignity, so when I sat before him, I was struck dumb. By Allah, I could not speak. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What brings you? Do you have a need? I remained silent. He said: What brings you? Do you have a need? I remained silent. He said: Perhaps you have come to propose to Fatimah. I said: Yes. He said: Do you have anything with which to make her lawful to you? I said: No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah. He said: What became of the coat of mail I gave you? By Him in whose hand is the soul of Ali, it is a Hutamiyyah worth four hundred dirhams. He said: I have married you to her; send it to her and make her lawful to yourself with it. And if it was the dowry of Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
