[Machine] Abu Bakr came to the Prophet ﷺ and sat in front of him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, you already know about my advice and my contributions to Islam. Indeed, I have something to ask you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is it?" Abu Bakr said, "Marry me to Fatimah." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent or turned away from him. Abu Bakr then returned to Umar and said, "I am ruined and ruined! Umar asked, "Why is that?" Abu Bakr replied, "I proposed to Fatimah to marry her to the Prophet ﷺ, but he turned away from me." Umar said, "He is waiting for the command of Allah regarding her. Let us go to Ali so that we may ask him to do the same." Ali came to me while I was on a journey, and they informed me that my cousin is being proposed for marriage. This alerted me, so I quickly gathered the ends of my cloak onto my shoulder and the other end on the ground until I reached the Prophet ﷺ. I sat in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, you are well-aware of my contributions to Islam and my advice. Indeed, I have something to ask you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is it, O Ali?" I said, "Marry me to Fatimah." He asked, "What do you have?" I replied, "My horse and armor," indicating my readiness to give them as a dowry. He said, "As for your horse, you will need it. But as for your armor, sell it." So I sold it for 480 dirhams and brought it to the Prophet ﷺ. I placed it in his room, and he took a handful from it and said to Bilal, "Use this to procure some good meat for us." Then he made a bed for it with a piece of cloth and a pillow filled with palm fibers, and he filled the house with sand (to act as bedding) and said, "When it comes to you, do not say anything until I come to you." So she (Fatimah) came with Umm Ayman and sat on one side of the house while I sat on the other. The Prophet ﷺ came and said, "Here is my brother." Umm Ayman said, "Your brother has married your daughter." Then the Prophet ﷺ entered and said to Fatimah, "Bring me some water." She stood up and went to fetch water from a pot in the house, and she brought it to him. He spat into it, then he said to her, "Stand up." She stood up, and he sprinkled it on her chest and head, and said, "O Allah, I seek refuge for her and her progeny from the accursed Satan." Then he said to her, "Turn around." She turned around, and he sprinkled it between her shoulders, saying the same words. Then he said, "Bring me some water." So I did as he wanted, filling the pot with water and bringing it to him. He took a handful of water from it, and spat into it as before. Then he poured it over his head and hands, saying the same words. Then he said, "Enter upon your family in the name of Allah and with His blessings."
