Musnad Ahmad — Hadith #45590

Abdullah told us, Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah told us, Abu Usama told us, on the authority of Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Omar bin Ali, on the authority of His father, on the authority of his grandfather, that Ali, may God be pleased with him, was walking until when the sun had set and it was dark, he came down and prayed the sunset prayer, then he prayed the evening prayer. After that, he then says, “This is what I saw the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, doing.” Affan told us, Shu`bah told us, Al-Hakam told us, he said: I heard Ibn Abi Laila that Ali, may God be pleased with him, told them that Fatima was pleased with him. God, on her behalf, complained to her father about what she had received. Her hands are of millstones, so he mentioned the meaning of the hadith of Muhammad bin Ja`far on the authority of Shu`bah.
