Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37094 — Reports from our Prophet

It is narrated from al-Hasan that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the home of his daughter Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and saw a curtain spread out, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned back. The narrator says: Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "What is this news I have received, that you came to your daughter but did not come in?" The narrator says: At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did I not see that she had hung a curtain over her house with money from what is to be spent in the path of Allah?" Al-Hasan was asked: "What kind of curtain was it?" He said: "It was a Bedouin curtain worth four dirhams. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) would spread it in the back part of the house."
