Did you know? (Inspirational Islamic Stories)

Valuing the words of a Father

Hazrath Fatima (s.a) never demanded anything from her hus­band: 
Once Hazrath​ Ali (a.s.) asked Janabe Fatema (s.a), “Is there anything to eat?” 

She replied, “O my honor and by Allah, who had accorded highest priority to your right, that there is noth­ing at home that could be served, since last three days.” 

Hearing this Hazrath​ Ali (a.s.) asked ‘Then why did you not inform me?” 

Janabe Fatema (s.a.) replied that the Prophet of Allah (s.a.a.w) had told her strictly not to ask nor demand anything from the son of his uncle. 

“Whatever he would give you voluntarily, you should accept it without uttering a word.”
