[6310] 96 - (...) Al-Miswar bin Makhramah narrated that ‘Alî bin Abî Tâlib proposed to the daughter of Abû Jahl, and he was already married to Fâtimah the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ. When Fâtimah heard of that she came to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him: “Your people are saying that you do not get angry for the sake of your daughters, and ‘Alî is going to marry the daughter of Abû Jahl.”
Al-Miswar said: “The Prophet ﷺ stood up and I heard him when he bore witness (i.e., proclaimed the Shahâda; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allâh), then he said: ‘I gave a daughter of mine in marriage to Abul-‘Âsh bin Ar-Rabî’, and when he spoke he told
me the truth. Fāṭimah bint Muḥammad is a part of me, and I do not like for her to be put to trial. By Allāh, the daughter of the Messenger of Allāh and the daughter of the enemy of Allāh will not be joined together as wives of one man.' So 'Alī abandoned that proposal."
