The beautiful marriage of Ali RA and Fatima RA.
From the previous thread of Ali RA, we already know that Ali RA was raised in the household of Rasulullah SAW from infancy up until his adulthood. It’s miraculous that he wasn’t breastfed by Nana Khadija RA else it would have been
haram for him to marry Nana Fatima RA. For context, I’ll talk briefly about Fatima RA & how their relationship came to be 🤩.
Fatima RA is nicknamed Habibatu bint Habib- the beloved one, daughter of a beloved one was born in the first year of prophethood according to historians
The last of Rasulullah’s daughters. She was named after Khadija RA’s mother- the word Fatima means a full term/wheened baby(opposite of Khadija)šŸ˜€.
When Khadija passed away few days after Abu Talib, Rasulullah would be attacked in public because He had no physical protection at
this point and he’d come home covered in blood and when he comes home wounded, it was Fatima RA that’d take the role of Khadija RA in taking care of him. She’d step in and clean his wounds and comfort him. She was just 10 years at the time and she took that burden. She used to be
Called Umm Abeeha- the mother of her father becos of how much she cared for her father. Rasulullah hated to see her in pain because her childhood was filled with oppression of him. She didn’t witness the time he was happy and loved & rich with Khadija RA. She grew up seeing her
mother Become frail and dying due to the boycott and saw her father being beaten and rejected because of his belief. One of the most painful narrations was when Abu Jahl challenged Uqba abi Mu’I’d to humiliate Rasulullah by dumping the insides of a camel (guts) on the back of SAW
When he comes to pray in d ka’aba. Uqba agrees and did so, it was so heavy on the back of Rasulullah that it caused his body to collapse while people laughed. So ibn Mas’ud goes to tell Fatima what was happening & Fatima comes to d haram running, crying so heavily and scratching
The guts away. Rasulullah was so hurt to see his daughter crying that He comforts her and says ā€œdon’t cry, Allah will give victory your fatherā€
This was one of the only time he prayed against an oppressor.
Fatima was attached to Rasulullah SAW all through his difficult times
She was Zahra, al Batul. Fatima was the first Person Rasulullah would sit with when he returns to madina from anywhere. Even after she had gotten married, she was the first person he’d see before leaving or after returning before he even visited his spouses. She resembled
Rasulullah so much in everything even in his standing Up and sitting down. Whenever she visited, Rasulullah would get up from whatever he was doing, kiss her hands and forehead and sit her down where he was sitting and she did the same thing to him. That was how much he (SAW)
honored her. By d time they migrated to Madina, Ali was too old to live in the house of Rasulullah thou he was close to Fatima in age so they grew up together & he used to be a little jealous of Fatima because of her bond wit Rasulullah😃
Ruqayya RA died the same day the battle
Of Badr was won. So it was both a happy and a sad day so Umm Kulthum was given to Uthman in marriage, Zainab was with her husband in Makkah, & only Fatima was left with Rasulullah. At the time a lot of people wanted her hands in marriage and Abubakar & Umar RA both proposed
& the prophet would tell them ā€œjust wait, give me some time ā€œšŸ˜‚ but when Rasulullah turns down great people like these then it meant he had someone else in mind. Ali RA thought about it but felt, ā€œhe turned away his two best friends, no way I have a chanceā€šŸ¤£
And removed himself
One of his aunt asked him to ask for Fatima’s hands in marriage one day & he said ā€œafter he has turned down AbuBakr & Umar? Besides what do I have to get married with, I am poor, I don’t even have enough for Mahrā€ & she said if you go to Rasulullah, he’d marry his daughter to you
Also,suddenly everyone is asking him to go talk to Rasulullah about it and he felt, it’s either they’ve heard, seen or felt something from Rasulullah. And he finally gathered the courage to go to him to ask for Fatima’s hand. Ali RA said ā€œI went with confidence, sat in front of
Rasulullah & immediately lost courage & went silent, I stuttered a few times, mumbled a few words and after some time, Rasulullah asked why he had come but he couldn’t say anything, then Rasulullah said ā€œMaybe you came to ask for Fatima’s hand in marriage, I’ll make it easy for u
Them he said yes putting his head down. Rasulullah then said, do you have anything as a mahr or gift and he said No, & then Rasulullah said, U have your shield, how much is it worth, Ali says 4 dirhams almost nothing & Rasulullah said ā€œ Go sell it, bring it to me as that’s enough
Then Rasulullah goes to Fatima and asks her if she wants to marry Ali, she was so shy she couldn’t say a word but Rasulullah ensured she consented to the marriage out of free will before taking d Mahr from Ali. Ali went to the market to sell his sword so Uthman RA saw him in the
Market & came to him & asks how much he’s willing to sell it, Ali goes, how much will U it for it, & Uthman goes I’ll pay 400 dirhams for it (this is his future inlaw tryin to make things a little easier for him)šŸ˜„ &Uthman handed back to Ali and says ā€œthis is my wedding gift to U
Ali went back to Rasulullah and told him what happened and Made du’a for Uthman RA. Then comes the wedding preparation, Ali sold everything he had and came up with 480 Dirhams and that was what he gave out as the Mahr (Rasul said the best of Mahr are the least expensive ones)
He was given back the 480 dirhams to buy some perfumes and furniture with. He had never bought perfume before so he gave Ibn Mas’ud from it to buy perfumes and gave Umm salama the rest to buy whatever the bride would need for the wedding. Rasulullah gave some money to Abubakar
To buy some clothes for Ali and Fatima RA and send Ammar bn Yasir made preparations for the wedding. Aisha and Umm Salma were given responsibility to prepare the home of Ali and Fatima RA. A they took some mud from the valley and made it into cushions with their hands. Took some
Dates and water, took some wood in a corner where they can hang their clothes and Rasulullah made the bed from wood stuff with palm leaves & a velvet cover & pillow filled with animal skin, left for them a pot and a stone to grind with šŸ˜€. They only had dates, barley & date paste
And people said it was the happiest day they can ever remember. Rasulullah called some of the ansar to witness the wedding and said ā€œ I bear witness that I have married my daughter to Ali for 480 dirhams as Mahrā€. Rasulullah asked them both to go home &wait for him, he made wudu
Poured the water on them, Fatima was shivering and he called and embraced her and said ā€œdo not worry, I have married you to the most beloved person in my familyā€. And he made this du’a ā€œoh Allah! Bless them, what is between them and upon them and bless them and their offspring.
ā€œDuring one of those jokes with her father, Fatima jokingly said about Ali.ā€You married me to a man with a big stomach? And Rasulullah laughed and saidā€ ā€œHe was the first of my companions to accept Islam, the one with the most knowledge and the most patient with peopleā€šŸ˜€
People always wanted to know who Rasulullah loved the most and One time Ali RA asked Rasulullah who he loved the most between him and Fatima and Rasulullah responded ā€œ She is more beloved to me than you but you are more precious to me than herā€šŸ˜€. SAW always had perfect answers
The first problem they’d have after their marriage is realizing that they were already married and distant from Rasulullah SAW since they now already have their own home.
In sha Allah tomorrow, there’ll b a thread on their marriage from Love to the pain of death. Radi’Allahu Anh
