Hadith 7279

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ اتَّبَعَتْنَا ابْنَةُ حَمْزَةَ فَنَادَتْ يَا عَمِّ يَا عَمِّ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهَا فَنَاوَلَتْهَا فَاطِمَةُ قُلْتُ دُونَكِ ابْنَةَ عَمِّكِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ اخْتَصَمْنَا فِيهَا أَنَا وَزَيْدٌ وَجَعْفَرٌ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا وَهِيَ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَقَالَ زَيْدٌ ابْنَةُ أَخِي وَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَخَالَتُهَا عِنْدِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِجَعْفَرٍ أَشْبَهْتَ خُلُقِي وَخَلْقِي وَقَالَ لِزَيْدٍ أَنْتَ أَخُونَا وَمَوْلَانَا وَقَالَ لِي أَنْتَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْكَ ادْفَعُوهَا إِلَى خَالَتِهَا فَإِنَّ الْخَالَةَ أُمٌّ فَقُلْتُ أَلَا تُزَوِّجُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We left Makkah, and the daughter of Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him) started following us and called out: My uncle! My uncle! So I took her hand and entrusted her to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), saying: She is your uncle’s daughter, keep her in your care. When we reached Madinah, Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him), Ja’far (may Allah be pleased with him), and I all began to dispute about her. I said: I brought her, and she is my uncle’s daughter. Zayd said: She is my brother’s daughter, and Ja’far said: She is my uncle’s daughter, and her maternal aunt is my wife. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (in making the decision) said to Ja’far: You resemble me in appearance and character. He said to Zayd: You are our brother and friend. And to me (Ali), he said: You are from me and I am from you. Do this: entrust the girl to her maternal aunt, for the maternal aunt is like the mother. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Why do you not marry her? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She is my foster niece.
