Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 1629 — Bringing the bride to her husband

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، ثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ . وَعَنْ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الْمَدِينِيِّ ، قَالَا : لَمَّا أُهْدِيَتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ : " أَنْ لَا تَقْرَبَ أَهْلَكَ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ " ، قَالَتْ : فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ . فَقَالَ فِيهِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ، ثُمَّ نَضَحَ الْمَاءَ عَلَى صَدْرِ عَلِيٍّ وَوَجْهِهِ ، ثُمَّ دَعَا فَاطِمَةَ فَقَامَتْ تَعْثُرُ فِي ثَوْبِهَا مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ ، فَنَضَحَ عَلَيْهَا أَيْضًا .
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ فَإِذَا سَوَادٌ وَرَاءَ الْبَيْتِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْ هَذَا ؟ " ، فَقَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ : أَنَا ، فَقَالَ : " أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ ؟ " ، فَقَالَتْ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " أَجِئْتِ مَعَ ابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ كَرَامَةً لِرَسُولِ اللهِ " ؟ فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، فَدَعَا لِي بِدُعَاءٍ أَنَّهُ لَأَوْلَى عَمَلِي عِنْدِي ، فَقَالَ : " يَا فَاطِمَةُ ، إِنِّي لَمْ آلُ أَنْ أَنْكَحْتُ أَحَبَّ أَهْلِي إِلَيَّ " .
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ : " دُونَكَ أَهْلَكَ " ، ثُمَّ وَلَّى إِلَى حُجْرَةٍ ، فَمَا زَالَ يَدْعُو لَهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَ حَجْرَهُ .
قُلْتُ : رِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ ، لَكِنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ عُمَيْسٍ كَانَتْ فِي هَذَا الْوَقْتِ بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا جَعْفَرٍ ، لَا خِلَافَ فِي ذَلِكَ ، فَلَعَلَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ لِأُخْتِهَا سَلْمَى بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ ، وَهِيَ امْرَأَةُ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ .
It is narrated from Ikrimah and Abu Yazid al-Madini (may Allah have mercy on them both) that when Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) was sent off to the house of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do not go near your wife until I come to you." The female narrator relates: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and called for water; he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited over it whatever supplication Allah willed, and then sprinkled that water on the chest and face of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she came stumbling in her garment out of shyness and modesty, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) sprinkled water on her too. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) looked, and there seemed to be a shadowy figure behind the house. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who is this?" Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: It is me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are you Asma bint Umays?" She said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you come with the daughter of the Messenger of Allah to honour and attend to her?" I said: Yes. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) made a supplication for me which in my view is more precious than all my deeds. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Fatimah! I have spared no effort in marrying you to the one of my family who is most beloved to me." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Now take care of your wife." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards his apartment and kept supplicating for the two of them until he entered his blessed apartment.
I (Ibn Hajar) say: All the narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy); however, Asma bint Umays was at that time, without any disagreement, in the land of Abyssinia with her husband Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him), so it is most likely that this was her sister Salma bint Umays, who was the wife of Sayyiduna Hamzah bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him).
