Hadith 806:19
Abu Ahmad narrated to us, Khalid—meaning Ibn Tahman—narrated to us, from Nafi' ibn Abi Nafi', from Ma'qil ibn Yasar, who said: I performed wudu for the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, one day. He said, "Do you wish to visit Fatimah with me?" I said, "Yes." So he stood up, leaning on me, and said, "As for it, someone other than you will carry her burden, and its reward will be for you." He said: It was as if I were carrying nothing until we entered upon Fatimah. He said to her, "How do you find yourself?" She said, "By Allah, my grief has intensified, my poverty has become severe, and my illness has lasted long." Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: I found in my father's book, in his own handwriting, regarding this hadith, he said: "Are you not pleased that I have married you to the first of my nation in submission, the most knowledgeable of them, and the greatest of them in forbearance?"
حدثنا أبو أحمد، حدثنا خالد يعني ابن طهمان، عن نافع بن أبي نافع، عن معقل بن يسار، قال: وضأت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات يوم، فقال: " هل لك في فاطمة تعودها؟ " فقلت: نعم، فقام متوكئا علي، فقال: " أما إنه سيحمل ثقلها غيرك، ويكون أجرها لك " قال: فكأنه لم يكن علي شيء حتى دخلنا على فاطمة، فقال لها: " كيف تجدينك؟ " قالت: والله لقد اشتد حزني، واشتدت فاقتي، وطال سقمي " قال أبو عبد الرحمن: وجدت في كتاب أبي بخط يده، في هذا الحديث، قال: " أوما ترضين أني زوجتك أقدم أمتي سلما، وأكثرهم علما، وأعظمهم حلما "
