Tale of Generosity from Lady Fatimah (SA): A Lesson in Selflessness 🌹📖
Once, Salman al-Farsi, at the command of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), went to the door of Lady Fatimah (SA) to prepare food for a newly converted Arab. After Salman's request, Lady Fatimah (SA) said, "I swear by God, Hasan and Husayn are troubled by extreme hunger, sleeping with empty stomachs. However, I do not reject any goodness, especially when it comes to my doorstep."
She continued, "O Salman! Take this garment of mine to Simon the Jew, and bring back a sa' of dates and a sa' of barley." Salman took the garment to Simon and narrated the story. Simon shed tears and said, "This is asceticism in the world and what Moses (AS) had foretold in the Torah. So, I also bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." He then gave Salman a sa' of dates and barley, which Salman brought to Lady Fatimah (SA).
With her own hands, Lady Fatimah ground the barley into flour, baked bread, and gave it to Salman. Salman requested, "O daughter of the Prophet! Take a portion for Hasan and Husayn (AS)." In response, Lady Fatimah (SA) said, "I do not claim possession over what I have given for the sake of God."
