[6309] 95 - (...). 'Alī bin Al-Ḥusain narrated that when they came to Al-Madīnah from Yazīd bin Mu'āwiyah, after the killing of Al-Ḥusain bin 'Alī, he was met by Al-Miswar bin Makhramah who said to him: "Do you have anything you want me to do?" He said: "I said to him: 'No.'" He said to him: "Will you give me the sword of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ? For I fear that the people may wrest it from you. By Allāh! If you give it to me I will never give it up so long as there is still life in me. 'Alī bin Abī Tālib proposed marriage to the daughter of Abū Jahl (to be a co-wife) to Fāṭimah, and I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ addressing the people concerning that, on this Minbar of his, and I was an adolescent at that time. He said: 'Fāṭimah is part of me, and I fear lest she be put to trial with regard to her religious commitment.'
“Then he mentioned a son-in-law of his from Banû ‘Abd Shams, and praised his behavior as a son-in-law. He said: ‘When he spoke to me he told the truth, when he made me a promise he kept it, and I do not say that any permissible thing is forbidden, or that any forbidden thing is permitted, but by Allâh, the daughter of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and the daughter of the enemy of Allâh will never be joined together in one place.’”
