It is narrated from Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), and I was with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) took off a gold chain (necklace) from her neck and said: This was given to me as a gift by Abu Hasan (Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Fatimah, would it please you that people should say that the daughter of Muhammad has a chain of fire in her hand?!" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went out without sitting down. So Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) at once sold that chain, bought a slave with its price and set him free. When this reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "All praise is for Allah, who has saved Fatimah from the Fire." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Fatimah guarded her chastity so completely that Allah Almighty has forbidden the Fire to her offspring." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
