5145. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنه: "When Ḥafṣa became a widow," 'Umar said, "I met Abū Bakr and said to him, 'If you wish I will marry Ḥafṣa bint 'Umar to you.' I waited for a few days then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked for her hand. Later Abū Bakr met me and said, 'Nothing stopped me from returning to you concerning your offer except that I knew that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had mentioned (his wish to marry) her, and I could never let out the secret of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. If he had left her, I would have accepted her'."

5145 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، يُحَدِّثُ: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ، حِينَ تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: لَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ: إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ، فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ ثُمَّ «خَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عَرَضْتَ، إِلَّا أَنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ ذَكَرَهَا، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَوْ تَرَكَهَا لَقَبِلْتُهَا تَابَعَهُ يُونُسُ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ
