161 - وَبِهذَا الإِسناد عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ الحُسَيْنعَلَيْهِمَاالسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَني أَسْماءِ بِنْتِ عميس قالَتْ: كُنْت عِنْدَ فاطِمَة عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْها رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَفِي عُنُقها قِلادَة مَن ذَهَبَ كانَ اشتَراها لَها عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِي طالِب a.sُ مِن فِيٍء فَقالَ لَها رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: يا فاطِمَةُ لا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ فاطِمَة بِنْت مُحَمَّد تَلبَسُ لِبسَ الجَبابِرَةِ فَقَطَعتها وَباعَتها وَاِشْتَرَتْ بِها رَقبَةَ فَأَعتَقَتها فَسَرَّ بِذلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ.

31-161 According to the same documentation, it is narrated on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Husayn that Asma Bint Omays said, “I was with (the Blessed Lady) Fatima when God’s Prophet (S) entered. (The Blessed Lady) Fatima was wearing a golden necklace which Ali ibn Abi Talib had provided for her from his own share of war booties. God’s Prophet (S) said, ‘O Fatima! Will not the people say that Fatima - the daughter of Muhammad is dressed in the attire of the oppressors?’ She immediately took it off, sold it, bought a slave with the money and freed him. Then God’s Prophet (S) became happy.”
