Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37231 — The words of Ali bin Abi Talib

It is narrated from Umm Uthman, the umm walad of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), that she said: I came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and before him in the courtyard was a heap of cloves. I said: "O Commander of the Faithful! Give my daughter a necklace of these cloves as a gift." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) did like this, tapping with both his hands: "Bring a good dirham near, for this is the wealth of the Muslims. Otherwise be patient until our share of it comes to us, and then we will give some of it to your daughter as a gift."
