1615 - And Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Makhlad al-‘Attar narrated to us, saying: Abu al-Hasan Muhammad ibn Nahar ibn Ammar ibn Yahya narrated to us from Ya'la al-Taimi, who said: Abd al-Malik ibn Khiyar, a cousin of Yahya ibn Ma'in, narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Dinar al-Ghurqi, from the shore of Damascus, narrated to us, from Hisham ibn Yusuf, from Yunus, from al-Hasan, from Anas, who said: While I was sitting with the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), he was covered by divine inspiration. When it departed from him, he said to me: "O Anas, do you know what Gabriel (peace be upon him) brought me from the Lord of the Throne, the Almighty, and Glorious?" I replied, "With my father and mother! What did Gabriel (peace be upon him) bring you from the Lord of the Throne, the Almighty, and Glorious?"
He said, "Allah, the Almighty, commanded me to marry Fatimah to Ali." Go and call me Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talhah, and al-Zubayr, and a number of them from the Ansar." So I called them, and when they took their seats, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "All praise is due to Allah, who is worthy of being praised through His blessings, worshipped in His power, obeyed in His sovereignty, sought after in what is with Him, and feared in His punishment. His command is enacted in His earth and sky, He who created creation by His power, distinguished them by His laws, honored them with His religion, and esteemed them with His prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). Then, indeed, Allah, the Almighty, made marriage a lasting kinship and an obligatory matter, through which He connects families and binds peoples." He said: Blessed is His name and exalted is His mention. "And it is He who created from water a human being and made him a relative by blood and by marriage." Thus, the command of Allah, the Almighty, flows toward His decree, and His decree flows toward His destiny. For every destiny is a time, and for every time is a record. Allah erases what He wills and affirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book. Then, indeed, Allah, the Almighty, commanded me to marry Fatimah to Ali, and bear witness that I have married her to him for four hundred mithqals of silver, if Ali is pleased with it." And Ali (peace be upon him) was absent, having been sent by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) on an errand. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) ordered a tray containing fresh fruits to be placed before us, and he said: "Enjoy!" While we were enjoying, Ali (peace be upon him) approached, and the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) smiled at him. Then he said: "O Ali, Allah, the Almighty, commanded me to marry you to Fatimah, and I have married her to you for four hundred mithqals of silver, if you are pleased." Ali replied, "I am pleased, O Messenger of Allah." Then Ali inclined, fell to the ground in prostration, thanking Allah, the Almighty, who had made me fond of the best of creation, Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "May Allah bless you both and bless what is in you, and may your grandfather bring you happiness and produce from you many pure ones." Anas said: "By Allah, he certainly produced many pure ones from them."
