حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتَا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نُجَهِّزَ فَاطِمَةَ حَتَّی نُدْخِلَهَا عَلَی عَلِيٍّ فَعَمَدْنَا إِلَی الْبَيْتِ فَفَرَشْنَاهُ تُرَابًا لَيِّنًا مِنْ أَعْرَاضِ الْبَطْحَائِ ثُمَّ حَشَوْنَا مِرْفَقَتَيْنِ لِيفًا فَنَفَشْنَاهُ بِأَيْدِينَا ثُمَّ أَطْعَمْنَا تَمْرًا وَزَبِيبًا وَسَقَيْنَا مَائً عَذْبًا وَعَمَدْنَا إِلَی عُودٍ فَعَرَضْنَاهُ فِي جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ لِيُلْقَی عَلَيْهِ الثَّوْبُ وَيُعَلَّقَ عَلَيْهِ السِّقَائُ فَمَا رَأَيْنَا عُرْسًا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ عُرْسِ فَاطِمَةَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1911
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)
