ثَوْبَانُ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ " مِنْ غَرَائِبِ مُسْنَدِ ثَوْبَانَ ؓ يُكْنَى أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ وَيُقَالُ: هُوَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ، مِنْ حِمْيَرٍ مَوْلَى آلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَيُقَالُ أَصَابَهُ سَبْيٌ فَاشْتَرَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْتَقَهُ كَانَ يَسْكُنُ حِمْصَ، مَاتَ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ "

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on a journey, the last member of his family he saw was Fatimah, and the first he visited on his return was Fatimah. Once when he returned from an expedition she had hung up a hair-cloth, or a curtain, at her door, and adorned al-Hasan and al-Husayn with silver bracelets. So when he arrived, he did not enter. Thinking that he had been prevented from entering by what he had seen, she tore down the curtain, unfastened the bracelets from the boys and cut them off. They went weeping to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he had taken them from them, he said: Take this to so and so's family. Thawban. In Medina, these are my family, and I did not like them to enjoy their good things in the present life. Buy Fatimah a necklace or asb, Thawban, and two ivory bracelets.  

عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ كَانَ آخِرُ عَهْدِهِ بِإِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَاطِمَةَ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا قَدِمَ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَدِمَ مِنْ غَزَاةٍ لَهُ وَقَدْ عَلَّقَتْ مِسْحًا أَوْ سِتْرًا عَلَى بَابِهَا وَحَلَّتِ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ قُلْبَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَقَدِمَ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَظَنَّتْ أَنَّ مَا مَنَعَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَا رَأَى فَهَتَكَتِ السِّتْرَ وَفَكَّكَتِ الْقُلْبَيْنِ عَنِ الصَّبِيَّيْنِ وَقَطَعَتْهُ بَيْنَهُمَا فَانْطَلَقَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُمَا يَبْكِيَانِ فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْهُمَا وَقَالَ يَا ثَوْبَانُ اذْهَبْ بِهَذَا إِلَى آلِ فُلاَنٍ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا طَيِّبَاتِهِمْ فِي حَيَاتِهِمُ الدُّنْيَا يَا ثَوْبَانُ اشْتَرِ لِفَاطِمَةَ قِلاَدَةً مِنْ عَصَبٍ وَسِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ عَاجٍ

عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ كَانَ آخِرُ عَهْدِهِ بِإِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَاطِمَةُ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا قَدِمَ فَاطِمَةُ قَالَ فَقَدِمَ مِنْ غَزَاةٍ لَهُ فَأَتَاهَا فَإِذَا هُوَ بَمِسْحٍ عَلَى بَابِهَا وَرَأَى عَلَى الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ قَلْبَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَرَجَعَ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ فَاطِمَةُ ظَنَّتْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا رَأَى فَهَتَكَتْ السِّتْرَ وَنَزَعَتِ الْقَلْبَيْنِ مِنَ الصَّبِيَّيْنِ فَقَطَعَتْهُمَا فَبَكَى الصَّبِيَّانِ فَقَسَمَتْهُ بَيْنَهُمَا فَانْطَلَقَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُمَا يَبْكِيَانِ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْهُمَا فَقَالَ يَا ثَوْبَانُ اذْهَبْ بِهَذَا إِلَى بَنِي فُلَانٍ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَاشْتَرِ لِفَاطِمَةَ قِلَادَةً مِنْ عَصَبٍ وَسِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ عَاجٍ؛ فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا طَيِّبَاتِهِمْ فِي حَيَاتِهِمُ الدُّنْيَا
