Question
There’s a video going around about an incident about a Bedouin coming to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and asking for some provisions. He was directed to the house of Fatimah (radiyallahu ‘anha) who first opted to give him some animal skin but then gave him her necklace after he said he wont be able to eat the animal skin and he needs provisions as well as clothes to cover himself and a conveyance to return to his family. He went back with the necklace to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) who became emotional over his daughters offering. Later on the necklace was sold to ‘Ammar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) who compensated him for all his needs and gifted the necklace to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) who then sent it with a slave to Fatimah (radiyallahu ‘anha) as a gift. She took her necklace and freed the boy who exclaimed how miraculous he necklace had been to have fulfilled so many needs.
Answer
I have not come across this narration in any authentic Hadith source. This narration has been recorded in Shi’i sources.
The narration should not be quoted until it can be sourced and then verified.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
