Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I wanted to propose to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for his daughter. Then I thought: I have nothing, so what shall I do? Then I remembered the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) kindness to kin and his generosity, so I made the proposal to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you have anything?" I said: "No!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where is your Hutami coat of mail, which I gave you on such-and-such occasion?" He said: "It is with me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then give it!" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: So I gave it (the coat of mail) to him.
Imam Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator who is not named, and its remaining narrators are the narrators of the "Sahih".
