حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَی فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَوَجَدَ عَلَی بَابِهَا سِتْرًا فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ قَالَ وَقَلَّمَا کَانَ يَدْخُلُ إِلَّا بَدَأَ بِهَا فَجَائَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَرَآهَا مُهْتَمَّةً فَقَالَ مَا لَکِ قَالَتْ جَائَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيَّ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَأَتَاهُ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهَا أَنَّکَ جِئْتَهَا فَلَمْ تَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ وَمَا أَنَا وَالدُّنْيَا وَمَا أَنَا وَالرَّقْمَ فَذَهَبَ إِلَی فَاطِمَةَ فَأَخْبَرَهَا بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ قُلْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ قَالَ قُلْ لَهَا فَلْتُرْسِلْ بِهِ إِلَی بَنِي فُلَانٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4149
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Fatimah and found a curtain hanging at her door, so he did not enter. Whenever he entered (the house), he would visit her first. Then Ali came and found that Fatimah was grieved. He asked: What is the matter with you? She replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me but did not enter (the house). Ali then came to him and said: Messenger of Allah, Fatimah felt it keenly that you came to visit her but did not go in. He replied: What have I to do with this world? What have I to do with prints and figures (on the curtain)? He (Ali) then went to Fatimah and informed her of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. She said: Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he me to do about it. He (the Prophet) said: Tell her that she must send it to so-and-so.
