Umm ‘Uthman, the mother of a son of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: She says, I came to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and there was a pile of cloves in the courtyard before him. I said,“O Commander of the Faithful! Please gift a necklace from these cloves to my daughter.”Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied in this manner and struck his hands together:“Bring a good dirham close, for this is the wealth of the Muslims. Otherwise, be patient until we receive our share from it, then we will gift it to your daughter from that.”
