It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) mentioned Sayyida Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her). Her father did not wish for her to marry the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). So Sayyida prepared food and drink and invited her father and a group of the Quraysh. They ate the food and drank the beverage until they became intoxicated. Then Sayyida Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her father: Indeed, Muhammad bin Abdullah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) has sent me a marriage proposal, so marry me to him. So, in his state of intoxication, he married her off. Sayyida applied perfume (khaluq) to her father and dressed him in a garment; this was the custom with the bride’s father in the days of ignorance. When his intoxication wore off, he saw that he was perfumed with khaluq and dressed in a garment. He said: What is my situation? What is this? Sayyida said: You have married me to Muhammad bin Abdullah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). He said: Shall I marry (my daughter) to Abu Talib’s orphan? No, by my life! No! Sayyida Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Are you not ashamed? Do you want to make yourself appear foolish among the Quraysh? Do you want to tell people that you were intoxicated? So she persisted with him until he became pleased.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The very first wife of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was Sayyidah Khadijah radi Allahu anha. In terms of lineage, she joins with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam at Qusay. Consider the two names mentioned below and estimate the genealogical relationship between Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and Sayyidah Khadijah radi Allahu anha.
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim bin Abd Manaf bin Qusay bin Kilab Khadijah radi Allahu anha bint Khuwaylid bin Asad bin Abd al-Uzza bin Qusay bin Kilab
At that time, the age of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was twenty-five (25) years, and the age of Sayyidah was forty (40) years. The proposal for marriage was made from the side of Sayyidah, until Allah Ta’ala honored her with the dignity of being the wife of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and granted her such felicity that she became an object of envy for all those who came before and after.
