Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

After the wedding of Hadrat Fatimah Zahrah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala’anha)

After the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) had given away Hadrat Fatimah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) in marriage to Hadrat ‘Ali (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu), he went to their house and asked Hadrat Fatimah to bring some water. So she brought it in a wooden cup. He took it and taking from it a drought pored it back in the cup and asked Fatimah to come forward. She did so then he sprinkled some of the water on her bosom and head and said:

‘O ALLAH, I seek refuge in Thee for her and her children from Shaitan, the cursed.’

Then he asked for her to turn her back towards him. She did that. He then sprinkled the rest of the water on her back saying some du’a. Then he turned to Hadrat Ali (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) and asked him to bring water. Hadrat Ali (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) understanding what he wanted came with a cup of water. Then the Prophet did same thing as he had done with Hadrat Fatimah. After that he asked him to go to his bride. [Husn-e-Haseen, Shamail -e- Tirmizi]
