Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6309

حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ الدُّؤَلِيُّ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُمْ حِينَ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ ، مِنْ عِنْدِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، مَقْتَلَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، لَقِيَهُ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: هَلْ لَكَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ تَأْمُرُنِي بِهَا ؟ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لاَ ، قَالَ لَهُ: هَلْ أَنْتَ مُعْطِيَّ سَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَغْلِبَكَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَايْمُ اللهِ لَئِنْ أَعْطَيْتَنِيهِ لاَ يُخْلَصُ إِلَيْهِ أَبَدًا ، حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ نَفْسِي ، إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ ، فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فِي ذَلِكَ ، عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ هَذَا ، وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ مُحْتَلِمٌ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ مِنِّي ، وَإِنِّي أَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ تُفْتَنَ فِي دِينِهَا. قَالَ: ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ صِهْرًا لَهُ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ ، فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فِي مُصَاهَرَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ فَأَحْسَنَ ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي ، وَوَعَدَنِي فَأَوْفَى لِي ، وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُحَرِّمُ حَلاَلاً وَلاَ أُحِلُّ حَرَامًا ، وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَجْتَمِعُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللهِ مَكَانًا وَاحِدًا أَبَدًا.

'Ali bin Al-Husain narrated that when they came to Al-Madinah from Yazid bin Mu'awiyah, after the killing of Al-Husain bin 'Ali' 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 Allah (s.a.w)? For I fear that the people may wrest it from you. By Allah! If you give it to me I will never give it up so long as there is still life in me. 'Ali bin Abi Talib proposed marriage to the daughter of Abu Jahl (to be a co-wife) to Fatimah, and I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) addressing the people concerning that, on this Minbar of his, and I was an adolescent at that time. He said: 'Fatimah is part of me, and I fear lest the be put to trial with regard to her religious commitment.' "Then he mentioned a son-in-law of his from Banu '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 Allah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and the daughter of the enemy of Allah will never be joined together in one place."'
