Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34303 — The virtues of Ali bin Abi Talib

Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you have married me to a man with thin shins, a large belly and weak eyesight." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have married you to the earliest of my Ummah in Islam, the greatest of them in forbearance and the most abundant of them in knowledge."
