[Machine] He decided that the oath would be in favor of the defendant. They presented it in the correct manner as before, and here each of them is a defendant with what is in his possession. So his statement is with his oath in denying what his companion claims. Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "This is because a man may possess women's property and a woman may possess a man's property through marriage, inheritance, and other means. Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, had made it permissible for Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, to sell iron armor. This is a man's property, and Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, was the owner of that property without Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, having any say in it." The sheikh said, "And this has been mentioned in the narration of Ikrimah from Ibn Abbas. He said: When Ali married Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, 'Give her something.' Ali said, 'I have nothing with me.' The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked, 'Where is your Huttamiyyah shield?'"
