Recommendations of the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) to Fatemah (s.a.)

11:57 - 2016/03/01

 

 
Imam Ali (a.s.) continues, that then the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) told me to go into a room and himself talked with Fatemah (s.a.) saying, “O dear daughter ! How are you and how do you find your husband”? Fatemah (s.a.) replied, “O dear father ! I found my husband to be the best. But a group of Quraishite women visited me and said that my father had married me to an indigent and poor man”. The Prophet (s.a.w.s) replied, “Dear daughter ! Neither is your father indigent nor your husband, Allah (s.w.t.) has given me authority upon all the gold and silver treasures of this earth, but I have preferred the recompense near Allah (s.w.t.) upon it. My dear daughter ! If you had known what your father knows, the world will seem wretched in your eyes. I swear by Allah (s.w.t.), that I have not been stingy with regards to your well-being. Your husband is the foremost in Islam, is the most knowledgeable among all, most forebearing. O my daughter ! Allah (s.w.t.) exclusively beholded the earth and chose two men from among all, one he made your father and other your husband. O my Daughter ! Your husband is a virtuous husband. Obey him in all matters”.
