Hadith 603

(حديث مرفوع) أخبرنا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ ، سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَخْطُبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنَتَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا لِي مِنْ شَيْءٍ ، فَكَيْفَ ؟ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ صِلَتَهُ وَعَائِدَتَهُ ، فَخَطَبْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : " هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ : " فَأَيْنَ دِرْعُكَ الْحُطَمِيَّةُ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ " ، قَالَ : هِيَ عِنْدِي ، قَالَ : " فَأَعْطِنيِهَا " ، قال : فأَعَطْيُتها إِيَّاهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when I intended to send a marriage proposal for the daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I thought to myself that I have nothing, so how will this happen? Then I remembered the kindness and compassion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so I sent the marriage proposal. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Do you have anything?" I replied, "No!" He said, "What happened to that coat of mail of Hatimiyyah which I gave you on such and such day?" I replied, "That is with me." He said, "Then give that." So I brought it and gave it to him.
