3867. Al-Miswar bin Makhramah narrated: "While he was on the Minbar, I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: 'Indeed Banū Hishām bin Al-Mughīrah asked me if they could marry their daughter to 'Ali bin Abī Tālib. But I do not allow it, I do not allow it, I do not allow it – unless 'Ali bin Abī Tālib wishes to divorce my daughter and marry their daughter, because she is a part of me. I am displeased by what displeases her, and I am harmed by what harms her.'" (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. [And 'Amr bin Dīnār reported it similar to this from Ibn Abī Mulaikah from Al-Miswar bin Makhramah like this.]

Commentary
At the time when 'Ali ﷺ wanted to marry the daughter of Abū Jahl and talked to her uncle Hārīth bin Hishām, all the sisters and the mother of Fāṭimah had died, and she had no lady companion in this adversity. Obviously such situation is very troublesome for a father, so the Prophet ﷺ dissuaded 'Ali strongly, and asked him to drop the idea of marrying.
