[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Ali and Fatima while they were laughing. When they saw the Prophet ﷺ , they remained silent. The Prophet ﷺ said to them, "Why were you both laughing, but when you saw me, you remained silent?" Fatima replied, "By my father, are you more beloved to the Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "This is Ali, who is dearer to me than you."  

الطبراني:١١٠٦٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ ثنا مِلْحَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْخُرَيْبِيُّ ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ وَهُمَا يضحكانِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَكَتَا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا لَكُمَا كُنْتُمَا تَضْحَكَانِِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُمَانِي سَكَتُّما؟» فَبَادَرَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَقَالَتْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ هَذَا أَنَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ مِنْكِ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ أَنَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْكَ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «يَا بُنَيَّةُ لَكِ رِقَّةُ الْوَلَدِ وَعَلِيٌّ أَعَزُّ عَلَيَّ مِنْكِ»
