Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila: I heard Ali say: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم assigned me the fifth (of the booty). I spent it on its beneficiaries during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and Abu Bakr and of Umar. Some property was brought to him (Umar) and he called me and said: Take it. I said: I dod not want it. He said: Take it ; you have right to it. I said: We do not need it. So he deposited in the government treasury.

He said: He did that. He said: I divided it during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Abu Bakr then assigned it to me. During the last days of the caliphate of Umar a good deal of property came to him and took out our portion. I said to him: We are well to do this year; but the Muslims are needy, so return it to them. He, therefore, returned it to them. No one called me after Umar. I met al-Abbas when I came out from Umar. He said: Ali, today you have deprived us of a thing that will never be returned to us. He was indeed a man of wisdom.

Messenger of Allah, you are the kindest of the people and the most skilled in matchmaking. Our fathers have nothing with which to pay our dower. So appoint us collector of sadaqah (zakat), Messenger of Allah, and we shall give you what the other collectors give you, and we shall have the benefit accruing from it. Ali came to us while we were in this condition. He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: No, I swear by Allah, he will not appoint any of you collector of sadaqah (zakat). Rabiah said to him: This is your condition; you have gained your relationship with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم by marriage, but we did not grudge you that. Ali then put his cloak on the earth and lay on it. He then said: I am the father of Hasan, the chief. I swear by Allah, I shall not leave this place until your sons come with a reply (to the question) for which you have sent them to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Abdul Muttalib said: So I and al-Fadl went towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. We found that the noon prayer in congregation had already started. So we prayed along with the people. I and al-Fadl then hastened towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He was (staying) with Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, that day. We stood until the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came. He caught my ear and the ear of al-Fadl. He then said: Reveal what you conceal in your hearts. He then entered and permitted me and al-Fadl (to enter). So we entered and for a little while we asked each other to talk. I then talked to him, or al-Fadl talked to him (the narrator, Abdullah was not sure). He said: He spoke to him concerning the matter about which our fathers ordered us to ask him. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم remained silent for a moment and raised his eyes towards the ceiling of the room. He took so long that we thought he would not give any reply to us. Meanwhile we saw that Zaynab was signalling to us with her hand from behind the veil, asking us not to be in a hurry, and that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was (thinking) about our matter. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then lowered his head and said to us: This sadaqah (zakat) is a dirt of the people. It is legal neither for Muhammad nor for the family of Muhammad. Call Nawfal ibn al-Harith to me. So Nawfal ibn al-Harith was called to him. He said: Nawfal, marry Abdul Muttalib (to your daughter). So Nawfal married me (to his daughter). The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then said: Call Mahmiyyah ibn Jazi to me. He was a man of Banu Zubayd, whom the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had appointed collector of the fifths. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to Mahmiyyah: Marry al-Fadl (to your daughter). So he married him to her. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Stand up and pay the dower from the fifth so-and-so on their behalf. Abdullah ibn al-Harith did not name it (i. e. the amount of the dower).

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم also gave me an old she camel from the fifth that day. When I intended to cohabit with Fathimah daughter of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, I made arrangement with a man who was a goldsmith belonging to Banu Qainuqa’ to go with me so that we may bring grass. I intended to sell it to the goldsmith there by seeking help in my wedding feast. While I was collecting for my old Camels saddles, baskets and ropes both of she Camels were seated in a corner of the apartment of a man of the Ansar. When I collected what I collected (i. e., equipment) I turned (towards them). I suddenly found that the humps of she Camels were cut off and their hips were pierced and their lives were taken out. I could not control my eyes (to weep) when I saw that scene. I said “Who has done this?” They (the people) replied “Hamzah bin Abd Al Muttalib”. He is among the drunkards of the Ansar in this house. A singing girl is singing for him and his Companions. While singing she said “Oh Hamza, rise to these plumpy old she Camels. So he jumped to the sword and cut off their humps, pierced their hips and took out their livers. ” Ali said “I went till I entered upon the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم while Zaid bin Harithah was with him. ” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم realized what I had met with. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم aid “What is the matter with you?” I said Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, I never saw the thing that happened with me today. Hamzah wronged my she Camels, he cut off their humps, pierced their hips. Lo! He is in a house with drunkards. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked for his cloak. It was brought to him. He then went out, I and Zaid bin Harithah followed him until we reached the house where Hamzah was. He asked permission ( to entre). He was permitted. He found drunkards there. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم began to rebuke him (Hamzah) for his action. Hamzah was intoxicated and his eyes were reddish. Hamzah looked at the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He then raised his eyes and looked at his knees, he then raised his eyes and looked at his navel and he then raised his eyes and looked at his face. Hamzah then said “Are you but the salves of my father? Then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knew that he was intoxicated. So the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم moved backward. He then went out and we also went out with him. ”

I and my sister Fatimah, daughter of Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم went (to the Prophet) and complained to him about our existing condition. We asked him to order (to give) us some captives. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said “the orphans of the people who were killed in the battle of Badr came before you (and they asked for the captives). But I tell you something better than that. You should utter “Allaah is Most Great” after each prayer thirty three times, “Glory be to Allaah” thirty three times, “Praise be to Allaah” thirty three times and “there is no god but Allaah alone, He has no associate, the Kingdom belongs to Him and praise is due to Him and He has power over all things. ” The narrator Ayyash said “They were daughters of Uncle of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. ”
Read More..Ibn A’bud said, Ali said to me “May I not narrate you about me and Fathimah daughter of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم? She was most favorite to him of his family. ” I said “Yes”. He said “She pulled the grinding stone with her hand so much that it affected her hand, she carried water in a water bag so much so that it affected the upper portion of her chest, she swept the house so much so that her clothes became dirty. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم acquired some slaves”. So I said “Would that you go to your father and ask him for a slave. She then came to him and found some people with him talking to him. She therefore returned. Next day she came again. He asked (her), what was your need? But she kept silence. So I said, I inform you, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. She pulled grinding stone so much that it affected her hand, she carried water bag so much so that it affected the upper portion of her chest. When the slaves were brought to you I asked her to come to you and to ask you for a slave to save her from the exertion she is suffering. ” He said “Fear Allaah, Fathimah and perform the duty of your Lord and do the work of your family. ” When you go to bed say “Glory be to Allaah” thirty three times, “Praise be to Allaah” thirty three times, “Allaah is Most Great” thirty four times. This is hundred times. That will be better for you than a servant. She said “I am pleased with Allaah, Most High and with his Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. ”
