The Grand Status of the Sayyids

Another similar incident (to the incident related by Hazrat Thaubaan Radhiyallahu anhu) also took place. Hazrat Ali (Radhiyallahu anhu) had a visitor. Hazrat Sayyidah Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha) cooked food and then said that it would be good if Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was called. Therefore, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was also invited, and he came. When he reached the door of the house, he stood and gazed inside. Seeing an exquisite curtain hanging inside, he left.

Hazrat Sayyidah Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha) says: “I went behind Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and asked, ‘Ya Rasulallah! What is the reason for your return?’ He replied, ‘It is not proper for a Nabi to enter an adorned and decorated home.”

Once, during his childhood, Hazrat Hasan Bin Ali (Radhiyallahu anhuma) put a date from among the dates of Sadaqah into his mouth. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) immediately instructed him to take the date out of his mouth and said: “Don’t you know that we cannot eat from Sadaqah?”
