When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Fatimah to Ali, he sent with him a velvet cloth, a leather cushion stuffed with palm fibers, two grinding stones, a waterskin, and two jugs.One day Ali said to Fatimah, "By Allah, I have drawn water until my chest aches. Allah has brought your father some captives, so go and ask him for a servant."Fatimah replied, "And by Allah, I have ground grain until my hands have blistered."So she went to the Prophet ﷺ, and he asked, "What brings you here, my little daughter?"She said, "I came to greet you with peace." She felt too shy to ask him, so she returned.Ali asked her, "What did you do?"She said, "I was too shy to ask him."So we both went to him together, and Ali said, "Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I have drawn water until my chest aches."Fatimah added, "I have ground grain until my hands have blistered. Allah has brought you captives and abundance, so give us a servant."The Messenger of Allah said, "By Allah, I will not give to you both and leave the people of Suffah with their bellies folded in hunger, finding nothing to spend on them. Rather, I will sell the captives and spend the proceeds on them."So they returned. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to them after they had entered under their blanket. When they covered their heads, their feet were exposed, and when they covered their feet, their heads were exposed. They started to get up, but he said, "Stay where you are."Then he said, "Shall I not tell you of something better than what you asked me for?"They said, "Yes indeed."He said, "Words that Jibreel taught me. Glorify Allah ten times after every prayer, praise Him ten times, and magnify Him ten times. And when you go to your bed, glorify Him thirty-three times, praise Him thirty-three times, and magnify Him thirty-four times."Ali said, "By Allah, I have not abandoned them since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught them to me."Ibn al-Kawwa said to him, "Not even on the night of Siffin?"He replied, "May Allah fight you, people of Iraq. Yes, not even on the night of Siffin."
أن رسول الله ﷺ لما زوجه فاطمة بعث معه بخميلة ووسادة من أدم حشوها ليف، ورحيين وسقاء وجرتين، فقال علي لفاطمة ذات يوم: والله لقد سنوت حتى قد اشتكيت صدري، قال: وقد جاء الله أباك بسبي، فاذهبي فاستخدميه، فقالت: وأنا والله قد طحنت حتى مجلت يداي فأتت النبي ﷺ، فقال: ماجاء بك أي بنية؟ قالت: جئت لأسلم عليك، واستحيت أن تسأله ورجعت، فقال: ما فعلت؟ قالت: استحييت أن أسأله، فأتيناه جميعا، فقال علي: يا رسول الله، والله لقد سنوت حتى اشتكيت صدري، وقالت فاطمة: قد طجنت حتى مجلت يداي، وقد جاءك الله بسبي وسعة فأخذ منا، فقال رسول الله: والله لا أعطيكما وأدع أهل الصفة تطوى بطونهم، لا أجد ما أنفق عليهم، ولكني أبيعهم وأنفق عليهم أثمانهم. فرجعا، فأتاهما النبي ﷺ وقد دخلا في قطيفتهما، إذا غطت رؤوسهما تكشفت أقدامهما، وإذا غطيا أقدامهما تكشفت رؤوسهما، فثارا، فقال: مكانكما. ثم قال: ألا أخبركما بخير مما سألتماني؟ قالا: بلى. فقال: كلمات علمنيهن جبرئيل، فقال: تسبحان في دبر كل صلاة عشرا، وتحمدان عشرا، وتكبران عشرا، وإذا أويتما إلى فراشكما فسبحا ثلاثا وثلاثين، واحمدا ثلاثا وثلاثين، وكبرا أربعا وثلاثين. قال: فوالله ما تركتهن منذ لعلمنين رسول الله ﷺ قال: فقال له ابن الكواء: ولا ليلة صفين؟ فقال: قاتلكم الله يا أهل العراق، نعم، ولا ليلة صفين.
Ahmad (838, 596), Ibn Saad (8/25), and Bazzar (757) all narrated it through routes going back to Hammad bin Salama, from Ata bin Saaib, from his father, from Ali, who said, then he related it. Its chain of transmission is sahih. Ata bin Saaib is trustworthy, and the leading scholars affirmed his reliability, except that his memory became confused in his later years, but Hammad bin Salama narrated this hadith from him, and he is among those who heard from him before that confusion set in.The addition of his statement, "You two glorify Allah ten times after every prayer," was not mentioned by the narrators of Bukhari and Muslim, but this addition has a basis in the hadith of Abdullah bin Amr bin As and others, so there is no irregularity or objectionable element in it.Similar in meaning is what was narrated from Fadl bin Hasan Damri, that Ibn Umm Hakam, or Dubaa, the two daughters of Zubayr bin Abdul-Muttalib, told him, on the authority of one of them, that she said,"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ acquired some captives, so I went, along with my sister and Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we complained to him about our situation and asked him to grant us a share of the captives.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The orphans of Badr have already gotten ahead of you in this, but I will guide you to something better for you than that. Say Allahu Akbar following every prayer thirty-three times, say Subhanallah thirty-three times, and say Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and say, "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, His is the dominion, His is the praise, and He is capable of all things."'"Abu Dawud (2987, 5066) and Tahawi in Maani al-Athar (3/299) narrated it, both through the route of Abdullah bin Wahb, who said, Ayyash bin Uqba Hadrami told me, from Fadl bin Hasan Damri, then he related it.Ibn Umm Hakam is unknown. The mention of Ibn Umm Hakam has been omitted from some printed editions of Sunan Abu Dawud. It also contains some discrepancies with what has been firmly established in the sahih narrations.
