English translation
5063. It was narrated from Abū Al-Ward bin Thumāmah, he said: "Alī said to Ibn A'bud: 'Shall I not narrate to you, from me, and from Fāṭimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, who was the dearest of his family to him, and she was married to me? She worked the grindstone until it left marks on her hands, and she carried water in a water-skin until it left marks on her upper chest, and she swept the house until her clothes became dusty, and she lit the fire for the cooking pot until her clothes turned black, and that caused her harm. We heard that some slaves had been brought to the Prophet ﷺ, so I said: "Why don't you go to your father and ask him for a servant to suffice you?" She went to him and found the people talking to him, and she felt shy, so she returned. The next day, he came to us while we were beneath our blanket, and he sat by her head, and she put her head under the blanket out of shyness before her father. He said: "What did you want yesterday from the family of Muḥammad?" She remained silent twice, and I said: "By Allāh, I will tell you, O Messenger of Allāh. She has worked the grindstone until it left marks on her hands, and she carried water in a water-skin until it left marks on her upper chest, and she swept the house until her clothes became dusty, and she lit the fire for the cooking pot until her clothes turned black. We heard that some slaves or servants had been brought to you, and I said to her: 'Ask him for a servant.'" And he mentioned a Hadīth like that of Al-Ḥakam (no. 5062). (Da'if)
