[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned, he gave his daughter Fatimah her sword and said, "O my daughter, clean this blood off." Ali then gave her his sword and said, "And clean off the blood from this one." By Allah, I have never witnessed a truer battle than today. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you were truthful in battle today, then the battle adhered to the truth alongside you today: Sahal bin Hunayf and Usamah bin Haritha Abu Dujanah." Ibn Ishaq said, and Ali bin Abi Talib said when he handed Fatimah (may peace be upon her) the sword, "O Fatimah, hold the sword firmly without hesitation. I am not afraid nor weak. By my life, I have truly excelled in aiding Ahmad and seeking the pleasure of my Lord, who is merciful towards His servants." Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary.  

لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطَى فَاطِمَةَ ابْنَتَهُ سَيْفَهُ فَقَالَ «يَا بُنَيَّةُ اغْسِلِي عَنْ هَذَا الدَّمِ» فَأَعْطَاهَا عَلِيٌّ سَيْفَهُ فَقَالَ وَهَذَا فَاغْسِلِي عَنْهُ دَمَهُ فَوَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ صَدَقَنِي الْيَوْمَ الْقِتَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَئِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ الْقِتَالَ الْيَوْمَ لَقَدْ صَدَقَ مَعَكَ الْقِتَالُ الْيَوْمَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَسِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ» قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حِينَ نَاوَلَ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ السَّيْفَ « [البحر الطويل] أَفَاطِمُ هَاكِي السَّيْفَ غَيْرَ ذَمِيمٍ فَلَسْتُ بِرِعْدِيدٍ وَلَا بِلَئِيمِ لَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ أَعْذَرْتُ فِي نَصْرِ أَحْمَدٍ وَمَرْضَاتِ رَبٍّ بِالْعِبَادِ رَحِيمِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
