٣٢٣٨ - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ بَعْضٍ».

Commentary
Proposal over proposal (making a proposal while that of another person is still being weighed) is repugnant to sincerity; it also reveals or unmasks jealousy and selfishness. But, if a proposal is turned down then there is no harm in it.
