We thus benefit from this part
1- The marriage of Lady Fatimah is full of blessings with which she began her life and filled her entire life with the ruqyah of the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him for her and her husband before the wedding. The result of this wedding was 4 children who filled the world with knowledge and piety after that.
2- Her dowry was not small for two people who start their lives in their early twenties, but it is small for the daughter of the master of the nation, the daughter of the Messenger of God, and the fathers should have an example from the Messenger of God in not exaggerating in the dowries, even if they were less than their counterparts at the time of her marriage.
3 - The story of an attempted marriage - Ali Ibn Abi Talib - may God be pleased with him, his wife Fatimah bint Muhammad, and the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - rejected that, out of favoritism from the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - for his beloved daughter, Perhaps some fathers did that with some of their daughters, especially if there was no need for marriage because of the wife’s illness or failure to perform her duties, or something else, But we know that it is a characteristic of the daughter of the Messenger of God, just as the Messenger of God has a specificity in marrying nine women, and the men of the Muhammadan nation are not allowed to have more than four, and God has the greatest wisdom in some of what we have troubled understanding.
