[Machine] Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ , was proposed to, and she said to me, "O Mawla, did you know that Fatima is being proposed to?" I said, "No" or "Yes." She said, "Then propose to her on his behalf." I said, "Do I have anything to propose with?" He said, "By Allah, she keeps hoping in me until I entered upon him, and we were his sons and respected him. When I sat in front of him, I became silent until I could speak. He said, "Do you have any need?" So I remained silent. He asked it three times. He said, "Perhaps you came to propose to Fatima?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Do you have something that you can use to offer for her?" I said, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "What did you do with the armor that I equipped you with?" He said, "By Allah, it is a broken armor, and its price is only four hundred dirhams." He said, "Go, for I have married her to you, and send it to her, so propose to her with it, as mentioned in my book, four hundred dirhams." And Yunus also narrated it from Ibn Ishaq, and he said, "Four dirhams."
