When Imam Ali (PBUH) went to meet Fatima, the Prophet was at home in Salma. After receiving permission, he saluted and sat down in the presence of the Messenger of Allah. The shame of the Prophet (PBUH) prevented him from asking. The Prophet said to him: «Speak your request»
Imam Ali (PBUH), recounted his demand.
After the ceremony, it was time that Imam Ali (PBUH) provided the dowry for his wife. At that time, all the properties of Imam Ali (PBUH) were limited to a sword and armor, which could be used by them to fight for the sake of God and a camel that worked with them in the garden of Medina. The Prophet (PBUH) admitted that Ali (PBUH) will sell his armor and leave it to the Prophet as a property for Fatima (PBUH). Their marriage was a good model for the Muslim community.
