English translation

3256. It was narrated from Umm Salamah, that when her Iddah had ended, Abû Bakr sent word to her proposing marriage to her, but she did not marry him. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb with a proposal of marriage. She said: "Tell the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ that I am a jealous woman and that I have sons, and none of my guardians are present." He went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and told him that. He said: "Go back to her and tell her: As for your saying that you are a jealous woman, I will pray to Allâh for you to take away your jealousy. As for your saying that you have sons, your sons will be taken care of. And as for your saying that none of your guardians are present, none of your guardians, present or absent, would object to that." She said to her son: "O 'Umar, get up and perform the marriage to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, so he performed the marriage." An abridged form. (Hasan)

3254 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، لَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا، بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَخْطُبُهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ تَزَوَّجْهُ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَخْطُبُهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَتْ: أَخْبِرْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِّي امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرَى، وَأَنِّي امْرَأَةٌ مُصْبِيَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِي شَاهِدٌ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: " ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْ لَهَا: أَمَّا قَوْلُكِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ غَيْرَى، فَسَأَدْعُو اللَّهَ لَكِ فَيُذْهِبُ غَيْرَتَكِ، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ مُصْبِيَةٌ، فَسَتُكْفَيْنَ صِبْيَانَكِ، وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكِ أَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِي شَاهِدٌ، فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكِ شَاهِدٌ وَلَا غَائِبٌ يَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ "، فَقَالَتْ لِابْنِهَا: يَا عُمَرُ، قُمْ فَزَوِّجْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَزَوَّجَهُ «مُخْتَصَرٌ»
