Meanwhile, someone told Lady Fatima, who was either five or six years old, of this
disgusting act, and so she ran as quickly as her little legs would carry her to him and
removed the filth from her beloved father.
Marriage Proposals:
Lady Fatima grew up to be a lovely, very pious young lady, and many, including Abu
Bakr and Omar, asked if they might marry her, but the Prophet, praise and peace be
upon him, deferred them saying he would wait until Allah made the matter clear to him.
Two years had passed since the migration to Medina and Lady Fatima was now
eighteen years of age. The Battle of Badr had been fought a few weeks before and it
was then that the Prophet asked Ali if he would like to marry Lady Fatima. Ali had been
too shy to come forward before now as he was very poor and did not consider himself to
be in a position to offer Lady Fatima a worthy dowry and drew the Prophet's attention to
it. Then the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, asked, referring to a piece of armor
Ali had won during the battle: "What have you done with 'Huttiyah'?" Ali replied that he
still owned it, whereupon the Prophet said it was sufficient for his daughter's dowry.
