Abu Ishaq narrates: When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) married Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): You have married me to a man whose eyesight is weak and whose belly is large. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have married you to the one who is the first of my Companions in accepting Islam, the greatest of them in knowledge, and the greatest of them in forbearance."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and this narration is mursal, with a sahih (authentic) chain.
