931
Musnad AhmedIt was narrated from ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) that the daughter of Hamzah followed them, crying:
O uncle, O uncle. ‘Ali took her by the hand and said to Fatimah (رضي الله عنها), Here is your cousin, look after her. ‘Ali, Zaid and Ja"far disputed concerning her. Ali said: I took her and she is the daughter of my paternal uncle. Ja"far said: She is the daughter of my paternal uncle and her maternal aunt is married to me, Zaid said:She is the daughter of my brother. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled that she be given to her maternal aunt and said: "The maternal aunt is like the mother." Then he said to ‘Ali: "You are of me and I am of you.” And he said to Ja’far: "You resemble me in appearance and attitude.” And he said to Zaid: "You are our brother and our freed slave." ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said to him. O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), why don"t you marry the daughter of Hamzah? He said: "She is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding."
