حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي شَارِفٌ مِنْ نَصِيبِي مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَعْطَانِي شَارِفًا مِنَ الْخُمْسِ، فَلَمَّا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْتَنِيَ بِفَاطِمَةَ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاعَدْتُ رَجُلاً صَوَّاغًا مِنْ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ مَعِي فَنَأْتِيَ بِإِذْخِرٍ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيعَهُ مِنَ الصَّوَّاغِينَ، وَأَسْتَعِينَ بِهِ فِي وَلِيمَةِ عُرُسِي.

Abdan narrated to us: Abd Allah informed us: Yunus informed us, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Ali ibn Husayn told me that Husayn ibn Ali, may Allah be pleased with them both, informed him that Ali, peace be upon him, said: “I had an old she-camel as my share of the spoils, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had given me another she-camel from the one-fifth share. When I was preparing to marry Fatima, daughter of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, I arranged with a goldsmith from Banu Qaynuqa that he would travel with me so we could bring back idhkhir grass. I intended to sell it to the goldsmiths and use its proceeds for my wedding feast.”
