It was a practice of the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) that whenever he went to a journey, Sayyedah Fatemah (s.a.) would be the last one whom he visited, and after his return she would be the first one whom he visited (so that he would not leave her for long). In one of his such journeys, when he (s.a.w.s.) returned back to Madinah, he went to the house of Sayyedah Fatemah (s.a.) and saw an exclusive curtain drawn while Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Husain (a.s.) had worn silver bracelets. Seeing this the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) returned back without entering therein. Sayyedah Fatemah (s.a.) was informed about it and perceived that the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) had returned back due to the curtain and bracelets. Sayyedah Fatemah (s.a.) had distributed these bracelets to Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Husain (a.s.), she immediately pulled down the curtain and took away the bracelets from them and they came weeping to the presence of the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s.). The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) took away the bracelets from them and giving it to one of his servants named Sawban told him to sell them. He also told him to buy in lieu of that a wooden necklace for Fatemah (s.a.) and two bracelets of ivory. Then he (s.a.w.s.) said, “Verily my Ahlulbait do not rejoice in utilizing the good things in their life of this world”.[81]
[81] This report cannot be relied upon, for the Ahlulbait (a.s.) and Sayyedah Fatemah (s.a.) remained aloof from the pleasures and never considered the possessions of this materialistic world. Numerous authentic reports have been related (in this book too) that prove their abstinence and detachment from this world. And they are the ones for whom the following verse of the Qur’an was revealed, “And they give away food, out of love for Him, to the poor and the orphan and the captive, (saying) We feed you only for Allah's sake, we intend not of you any recompense, nor (even) thanks". (Surah al Dahr : 8-9). All the commentators of the Qu'ran accept that this verse was revealed in the praise of the generosity & munificence of Ahlulbait (a.s.).
