And from Ibn 'Abbas: When 'Ali married Fatimah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Give her something."

The Shaykh : He said: "And from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) he said:

When 'Ali (RA) married Fatimah (RA)

لما تزوج علي فاطمة

Bulugh al-Maram 8:76

":
'Ali ibn Abi Talib is the cousin of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Fatimah is the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), as established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And regarding 'Ali, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about him: : He said this when he left him in charge of his family during the expedition of Tabuk, so he said: , and he said this to him to please his heart, and because Aaron succeeded Moses among his people when he said: , so this is the meaning of his saying: .
But when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) feared that someone would cling to this word and say: "Ali is a prophet like Aaron," he said: .
And this is an indication of the intensity of the protection of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the status of the Message, just as he is intensely protective of the status of the oneness of Allah.
Otherwise, it is known from the Qur'an and the Sunnah that he, meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is the Seal of the Prophets and that there is no prophet after him, but he feared that someone would cling to this.
But the Rafidah said: "Ali is an Imam," and they claimed that the Imams are better than the prophets, and that their Imams have a status that no close angel or sent prophet can attain.
He says: :
"Give her something" means he wanted a mahr (bridal gift).
He said: : The cousin of the Messenger, does he have nothing to give as mahr to his wife?!
He said: : The armor could mean a war armor or it could mean a regular clothing armor, for the shirt that we wear is called a dir' (armor), and the polished iron armor is also called a dir'. And I think some of you have seen the armor worn in war, which consists of small rings linked together, woven together, yes, a man wears it to protect him from arrows, and it is heavy, but there are strong bodies that can bear this armor.
And his saying: : It is named after a tribe of 'Abd Qays, meaning from the Arabs, as if it is famous for it.
So in this hadith, first: there is evidence of the virtue of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), and that is when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married his daughter to him, for this undoubtedly bequeaths a kinship above his blood kinship, this is a kinship of in-law, a kinship of in-law, so 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) combined blood kinship and in-law kinship.
And 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married his two daughters Ruqayyah and Umm Kulthum to him, and two men came to Ibn al-Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him) disputing about 'Ali and 'Uthman, which of them is better? So Ibn al-Jawzi said: "The better of the two is the one whose daughter is under him", the better of the two!
No, I said: 'Uthman and 'Ali, no, it was about 'Ali and Abu Bakr, so he said: "The better of the two is the one whose daughter is under him", so the two men went disputing about this word, who does he mean? Does he mean 'Ali or does he mean Abu Bakr?
The student: Abu Bakr.

The Shaykh : Yes, he actually got out of it, because one of the men wanted to say that 'Ali is better than Abu Bakr, and the other wanted Abu Bakr to be better, so he said: "The better of the two is the one whose daughter is under him", the pronoun refers to whom?
It is not known, whoever the daughter of the Messenger is under, if this is the meaning, then it is 'Ali, if the meaning is whoever the daughter of the Messenger is under, then it is Abu Bakr, and the pronouns are not clear for the referent.
