حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَی أَنَّ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ هَانِئٍ وَهُبَيْرَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ لَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ مَکَّةَ تَبِعَتْنَا بِنْتُ حَمْزَةَ تُنَادِي يَا عَمُّ يَا عَمُّ فَتَنَاوَلَهَا عَلِيٌّ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهَا وَقَالَ دُونَکِ بِنْتَ عَمِّکِ فَحَمَلَتْهَا فَقَصَّ الْخَبَرَ قَالَ وَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَخَالَتُهَا تَحْتِي فَقَضَی بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِخَالَتِهَا وَقَالَ الْخَالَةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأُمِّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2280
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: When we came out from Makkah, Hamzah's daughter pursued us crying: My uncle. Ali lifted her and took her by the hand. (Addressing Fatimah he said: ) Take your uncle's daughter. She then lifted her. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition. Jafar said: She is my uncle's daughter. Her maternal aunt is my wife. The Prophet ﷺ decided in favour of her maternal aunt, and said: The maternal aunt is like mother.
