At the time of the nikaah of Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) to Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha), Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) instructed Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) to fulfill the responsibilities within the home, and instructed Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) to fulfill the responsibilities out of the home.\u00a0(Musannaf Ibni Abi Shaibah #29677)<\/em><\/p>\n

Thus, after her nikaah, Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) would always attend to all the domestic responsibilities and household chores herself. She would grind the flour and bake the bread herself. Likewise, she would carry the water skin and fetch water for the house, and she would also sweep the house herself. As a result, her hands developed calluses from rolling the grind stone, her chest developed marks from carrying the water skin, and her clothes would become dusty due to the sweeping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) noticed the difficulty that his wife was undergoing, and hence when he learnt that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) had received some slaves, he suggested to her that she go to her father and request him to provide her with a servant to fulfill the household chores.<\/p>\n

Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) set out towards the home of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) but did not find him there. Hence, she requested Hazrat Aa\u2019ishah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) to mention to her father that she had come to visit him, but due to not finding him present, she returned home.<\/p>\n

When Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) later came home, then Hazrat Aa\u2019ishah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) informed him of the visit and request of his beloved daughter, Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha). Hence, he thereafter came to the home of Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha).<\/p>\n

When Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) arrived at their home and requested permission to enter, then Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) were already in bed. On hearing that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was at the door, they immediately began to awake from the bed so that they could stand and welcome Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) into their home. However, out of love and compassion for them, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said to them, \u201cRemain as you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

On entering, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) came and sat between Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha). Out of love for them, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) sat so close to them that Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) mentions, \u201cI could feel the coolness of his blessed feet which were next to my stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) addressed Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) with deep love and compassion and asked her, \u201cI was told that you came yesterday to ask me for something. What do you need?\u201d However, Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) felt shy to mention her need to Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).<\/p>\n

Thus Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) spoke and said, \u201cO Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)! Her hands have become worn out on account of working the grindstone, the water skin used by her for fetching water has left an impression on her chest, and her clothes remain dusty because of sweeping the house herself. Therefore, I had sent her to ask you for a slave so that she would get some relief in her work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said to Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha), \u201cO Faatimah! Continue to fear Allah Ta\u2018ala, discharge the obligations that you owe to him, and fulfill all the household chores yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) then said to Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha), \u201cShall I not show you something which is better than that which you requested? Before retiring to bed, recite Subhaanallah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times and Allahu Akbar 34 times, for certainly this is better for you than acquiring a slave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearing this, Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) immediately said, \u201cI submit to the will of Allah Ta\u2018ala and the advice of His Rasul (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)!\u201d<\/p>\n

On one occasion, many years later, Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) mentioned to his companions, \u201cFrom the day Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) taught me this zikr, I never left it out.\u201d Hearing this, some of his companions asked, \u201cNot even on the night of the Battle of Siffeen?\u201d Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) replied, \u201cNot even on the night of Siffeen did I leave out this zikr.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another narration, it is reported that Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) said that due to tiredness, he had forgotten to recite the tasbeeh before sleeping on the night of Siffeen. However, during the night, his eyes opened, and on remembering that he had forgotten to recite the tasbeeh, he immediately recited it.<\/p>\n
