عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَخْطُبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنَتَهُ فَقُلْتُ مَا لِي مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَكَيْفَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ صِلَتَهُ وَعَائِدَتَهُ فَخَطَبْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَأَيْنَ دِرْعُكَ الْحَطْمِيَّةُ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ هِيَ عِنْدِي قَالَ فَأَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I intended to send a proposal to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding his daughter, but then I thought that I have no wealth, so what should I do? Then I remembered that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) maintains ties of kinship and frequently visits our house, so I sent him this message. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you have anything? I said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Where is that Hatami armor which I gave you on such and such day? I said: It is with me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give that to Fatimah.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Imam al-Nasa’i has established this chapter for this hadith: Nihlatu al-Khalwah (Statement regarding the gift given on the night of consummation). From Imam al-Nasa’i’s chapter heading, it is understood that he considers the mentioned coat of mail to be separate from the dowry (mahr), and regards it as a special gift for the occasion of the bride’s departure and seclusion (khalwah), whereas many scholars are of the opinion that this is in fact the dowry (mahr) itself, which was given at the time of departure rather than at the time of the marriage contract. And Allah knows best.
There are two opinions regarding the reason for the naming of the Hatami coat of mail: (1) It is ascribed to Hatm, which means “breaking,” because this coat of mail would break swords—that is, any sword that struck it would break; or (2) it is ascribed to the tribe of Hatmah ibn Muharib from the people of ‘Abd al-Qays, because those people used to make such swords.
