1998. It was narrated that Mishwar bin Makhramah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, when he was on the pulpit, say: 'Banu Hishām bin Mughirah asked me for permission to marry their daughter to 'Ali bin Abu Tālib, but I will not give them permission, and I will not give them permission, and I will not give them permission, unless 'Ali bin Abu Tālib wants to divorce my daughter and marry their daughter, for she is a part of me, and what bothers her bothers me, and what upsets her upsets me.'"(Sahih)

Arabic text

1998 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ بَنِي هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ اسْتَأْذَنُونِي أَنْ يُنْكِحُوا ابْنَتَهُمْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَلَا آذَنُ لَهُمْ، ثُمَّ لَا آذَنُ لَهُمْ، ثُمَّ لَا آذَنُ لَهُمْ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُرِيدَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ ابْنَتِي وَيَنْكِحَ ابْنَتَهُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي، يَرِيبُنِي مَا رَابَهَا، وَيُؤْذِينِي مَا آذَاهَا»

Commentary

It is not allowed to worry the noble Prophet ﷺ by any means even though the concern may be about what is lawful; but perhaps it would be displeasing to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ for a certain reason. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited 'Ali ﷺ from marrying the daughter of Abu Jahl because it would be troublesome for Fātimah ﷺ, and it would hurt the Prophet ﷺ too; consequently 'Ali ﷺ would earn the displeasure of Allāh for bothering the Prophet ﷺ. This prohibition, in fact, was a means of kindness towards 'Ali ﷺ.
