1716. It was reported from Sahl bin Sa'd who narrated that once 'Ali went to Fāṭimah, and saw Hasan and Ḥusain crying. He said: "Why are they crying?" She replied: "Because of hunger." So 'Ali left, and found a Dinār in the market-place. He came to Fāṭimah and informed her, who said: "Go to so-and-so the Jew, and purchase some flour with it." He went to the Jew and purchased some flour, but the Jew said: "Are you not the son-in-law of the one who claims he is a Prophet?" He said: "Yes." So he said: "In that case, take your Dinār, and the flour is yours!" 'Ali then returned and told Fāṭimah what had occurred, so she said: "Go to so-and-so, the butcher, and purchase a Dirham of meat." So 'Ali went and gave the Dinār as collateral for a Dirham's quantity of meat, and he brought it (to Fāṭimah). She then kneaded the flour, set (the stove), made the bread, and called for her father. When he came, she said: "O Messenger of Allāh, let me tell you (what occurred), so if you feel that it is allowed for us, we will eat of it, and you will eat with us. Its story is such and such..." So he (ﷺ) said: "Eat in the Name of Allāh." So they all ate. While they were still sitting in their places, a boy came, announcing in the Name of Allāh, and of Islam, that he had lost a Dinār. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ commanded that he be brought, so he was called and asked (about it). He said: "I dropped it in the market-place." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ then said: "O 'Ali! Go to the butcher, and tell him: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ tells you to send the Dinār to him, and the Dirham is due upon him (the Prophet ﷺ).'" So 'Ali brought it, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gave it to the boy. (Hasan)
