عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ خَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ بِابْنَةِ حَمْزَةَ فَاخْتَصَمَ فِيهَا عَلِيٌّ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَزَيْدٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَأَنَا أَخْرَجْتُهَا وَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَخَالَتُهَا عِنْدِي وَقَالَ زَيْدٌ ابْنَةُ أَخِي وَكَانَ زَيْدٌ مُؤَاخِيًا لِحَمْزَةَ آخَى بَيْنَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِزَيْدٍ أَنْتَ مَوْلَايَ وَمَوْلَاهَا وَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ أَنْتَ أَخِي وَصَاحِبِي وَقَالَ لِجَعْفَرٍ أَشْبَهْتَ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي وَهِيَ إِلَى خَالَتِهَا
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left Makkah for Madinah, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also took the daughter of Sayyiduna Hamzah with him. Then, regarding her, there was a dispute between Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Ja’far, and Sayyiduna Zayd. When they came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: She is my niece and I brought her out. Sayyiduna Ja’far (may Allah be pleased with him) said: She is my niece and her maternal aunt is in my wedlock. Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: She is my niece. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had established brotherhood between Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him), (for this reason he called Sayyiduna Hamzah his brother). Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while deciding, said to Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him): You are my friend and the friend of this girl. He said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): You are my companion and my brother. And he said to Sayyiduna Ja’far (may Allah be pleased with him): You resemble me in creation and character. Now this girl will be brought up by her maternal aunt.
