Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ فَاطِمَةَ رضى الله عنها فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنِ بِي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَعْطِهَا شَيْئًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ مَا عِنْدِي مِنْ شَىْءٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَأَيْنَ دِرْعُكَ الْحُطَمِيَّةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ هِيَ عِنْدِي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَأَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr ibn Mansur reported to us; he said: Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik narrated to us; he said: Hammad narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas: Ali said, ‘I married Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said, “O Messenger of Allah, send her to my home.”’ He said, ‘Give her something.’ I said, ‘I have nothing.’ He said, ‘Where is your Hutami armor?’ I said, ‘I have it.’ He said, ‘Give it to her.’

Translation notes
  • The report concerns a bridal gift for Fatimah and specifies Ali’s Hutami armor as the item he was told to give her.
