حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِيمَةً مَا فِيهَا لَحْمٌ وَلَا خُبْزٌ قَالَ ابْن مَاجَةَ لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهِ إِلَّا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1910
It was narrated that Aishah and Umm Salamah said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H commanded u s to prepare Fatimah (for her wedding) and take her in to ' Ali. We went to the house and sprinkled it with soft earth from the land of Bathe'. Then we stuffed two pillows with (date – palm) fiber which we picked with our own hands. Then we offered dates and raisins to eat, and sweet water to drink. We went and got some wood and set it up at the side of the room, to hang clothes and water skins on. And we never saw any wedding better than the wedding of Fatimah." (Da'if)
