Q
What lesson can be learned about charity and helping the needy from this incident involving the Prophet (ﷺ) and Fatima?
A
Once the Prophet (ﷺ) went to the house of Fatima but did not enter it. `Ali came and she told him about
that. When ‘All asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about it, he said, “I saw a (multicolored) decorated curtain on her
door. I am not interested in worldly things.” `Ali went to Fatima and told her about it. Fatima said, “I
am ready to dispense with it in the way he suggests.” The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered her to send it to such-andsuch
needy people. ”
