[Machine] 'Ukrimah and Abu Yazid al-Madinah, or one of them, doubted that Abd al-Razzaq said that Asma bint 'Umais said, "When Fatimah was given to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib as a gift, we found nothing in his house except spread-out sand, a stuffed pillow, a jug, and a small cup." So the Prophet ﷺ sent a message to 'Ali saying, "Do not do anything until I come to you." Then the Prophet ﷺ came and said, "Has my brother done something wrong?" Umm Ayman, who was Umm Usamah ibn Zaid and was Abyssinian, said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is your brother and I married him to your daughter." The Prophet ﷺ had a strong bond with his companions and had a strong bond with 'Ali himself. He said, "That is how it should be, O Umm Ayman." Then the Prophet ﷺ called for a container of water and said whatever Allah wanted him to say, then he wiped Ali's chest and face with it. He then called for Fatimah, and she came stumbling in her dress out of shyness. He sprinkled some of the water on her and said whatever Allah wanted him to say. Then he said to her, "I married you to him because he is the most beloved to me among my family." Then he saw a black figure behind the curtain or door, and he said, "Who is this?" Asma said, "It's Asma bint 'Umais." He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Did you come with his daughter as an honor to the Messenger of Allah?" She said, "Yes, the girl needs someone close to her. If she has a need, she can turn to her." He said, "Then pray for me, for it is the most trustworthy of my deeds to me." Then he said to 'Ali, "Your family is under your care." Then he left and went back to his room, and he kept praying for them until he disappeared from sight."
