Lady Fatima (a) had many marriage proposals, but she eventually married Imam Ali (a). According to some researchers, after the Holy Prophet (s) [[hijra|migrated to Medina]] and became the leader of the Islamic community, Fatima (a), because of her being the daughter of the Holy Prophet (s) was held in very high regard by the [[Islam|Muslims]]. In addition to this, because of her superior qualities over the other women of her era and the clear love that the Holy Prophet (s) showed to her caused some Muslims to pursue her hand in [[marriage]]. | |||

[[Abu Bakr]], [[Umar]], [['Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf]] and Imam Ali (a) are said to be among this group. All proposals except the one brought by Imam Ali (a) were rejected by the Holy Prophet (s). The Holy Prophet (a) is reported to have said in response to these proposals: "The marriage of Fatima is a heavenly ordainment and requires a divine verdict." In some instances, the discontent of Fatima (a) towards the proposer has been reported. | ||

[[Sa'd b. Mu'adh]] informed the Holy Prophet (s) about this, which lead to the Holy Prophet (s) accepting the proposal of the Imam (a). He then took the proposal to Fatima (a) and told her of his praiseworthy traits and characteristics, to which she gave her approval. Imam Ali (a), like the other migrants (muhajirun), during the early period after the migration did not have a stable financial position and found difficulty in paying the prescribed [[Mahr|dowry]]. In resolving this issue, he followed the advice of the Holy Prophet (s) and gave the money earned from selling or loaning his armor as the dowry to Fatima (a). The marriage ceremony of Imam Ali (a) and Lady Fatima (a), which was attended by the Muslims, took place in the mosque. | ||
There is a difference of opinion concerning the date of the marriage ceremony. Most sources record it to have taken place in the second year after Hijra ([[2]]/624) i.e. the ceremony took place after the [[Battle of Badr]], in the month of [[Shawwal]] or [[Dhu al-Hijja]] in the second year after Hijra (Apri or June, 624). | |||
