Ali bin Husain narrated that when these people returned to Madinah Munawwarah from Yazid bin Muawiyah after the martyrdom of Husain (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhramah came and met them and said: If there is any service I can do for you, let me know. I said to him: No, there is none. Miswar said: Can you grant me the sword of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I fear that people will overpower you regarding this sword. By Allah! If you grant me that sword, as long as I am alive, I will not let anyone else have it until they finish me off. Indeed, Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) had sent a marriage proposal to the daughter of Abu Jahl during the lifetime of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). On that occasion, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) standing on his pulpit delivering a sermon to the people, and at that time I had reached maturity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fatimah is a part of me, and I fear that she will be put into difficulties regarding her religion. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned his son-in-law (Abu al-As, may Allah be pleased with him), who was related to Banu Abd Shams, and praised him greatly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He fulfilled the promise he made to me. Yes, yes, I do not make the lawful unlawful or the unlawful lawful, but by Allah! The daughter of the Messenger of Allah and the daughter of the enemy of Allah can never be together (i.e., in the wedlock of one man) at the same time.
