عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ ابْنَةَ هُبَيْرَةَ دَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي يَدِهَا خَوَاتِيمُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا الْفَتَخُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَعُ يَدَهَا بِعُصَيَّةٍ مَعَهُ يَقُولُ لَهَا يَسُرُّكِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ فِي يَدِكِ خَوَاتِيمَ مِنْ نَارٍ فَأَتَتْ فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَشَكَتْ إِلَيْهَا مَا صَنَعَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَ خَلْفَ الْبَابِ وَكَانَ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ قَامَ خَلْفَ الْبَابِ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لَهَا فَاطِمَةُ انْظُرِي إِلَى هَذِهِ السِّلْسِلَةِ الَّتِي أَهْدَاهَا إِلَيَّ أَبُو حَسَنٍ قَالَ وَفِي يَدِهَا سِلْسِلَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِالْعَدْلِ أَنْ يَقُولَ النَّاسُ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَفِي يَدِكِ سِلْسِلَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ ثُمَّ عَذَمَهَا عَذْمًا شَدِيدًا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَلَمْ يَقْعُدْ فَأَمَرَتْ بِالسِّلْسِلَةِ فَبِيعَتْ فَاشْتَرَتْ بِثَمَنِهَا عَبْدًا فَأَعْتَقَتْهُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَبَّرَ وَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي نَجَّى فَاطِمَةَ مِنَ النَّارِ
Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the freed slave of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: The daughter of Hubayrah entered upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and in her hand were large gold rings. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck her hand with a stick and said: Do you like that Allah should put rings of fire on your hand? Then Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: She came to me and complained about what the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had done to her. I went with her to the house of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (The narrator, Thawban, may Allah be pleased with him, says:) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood behind the door, and whenever he sought permission, he would stand behind the door. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to the daughter of Hubayrah: Look at this chain, Abu al-Hasan Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave it to me. She had put a gold chain on her hand. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered and said: O Fatimah! Act justly. People will say that Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, is wearing a chain of fire on her hand. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke harshly to me and did not even sit down, and left. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) ordered that the chain be sold, and with its price a slave was bought and set free. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he said Allahu Akbar and said: All praise is due to Allah who saved Fatimah from the fire.
