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.
