Hadith 6857
عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى جُلَيْبِيبٍ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى أَبِيهَا فَقَالَ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَ أُمَّهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَعَمْ إِذًا فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَا هَا اللَّهِ إِذَا مَا وَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا جُلَيْبِيبًا وَقَدْ مَنَعْنَاهَا مِنْ فُلَانٍ وَفُلَانٍ قَالَ وَالْجَارِيَةُ فِي سِتْرِهَا تَسْتَمِعُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْبِرَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَرُدُّوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْرَهُ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ رَضِيَهُ لَكُمْ فَأَنْكِحُوهُ فَكَأَنَّهَا جَلَّتْ عَنْ أَبَوَيْهَا وَقَالَا صَدَقْتِ فَذَهَبَ أَبُوهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ رَضِيتَهُ فَقَدْ رَضِينَا قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَضِيتُهُ فَزَوَّجَهَا ثُمَّ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ فَرَكِبَ جُلَيْبِيبُ فَوَجَدُوهُ قَدْ قُتِلَ وَحَوْلَهُ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَمِنْ أَنْفَقِ بَيْتٍ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a proposal for Sayyiduna Julaibib (may Allah be pleased with him) to the father of an Ansari woman. Her father said: I will consult her mother. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Alright. That man went to his wife and mentioned the matter to her. She said: No, by Allah! This cannot happen. Has the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) found only Julaibib for us? We did not even give her in marriage to so-and-so and so-and-so. The girl was listening to this conversation from behind the curtain. The man set out to inform the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The girl said: Are you rejecting the command of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? If he (peace and blessings be upon him) has chosen him, then marry me to him. By saying this, the girl revealed the hidden matter to her parents. They said: She is speaking the truth. Her father presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: If you are pleased, then we are also pleased with this match. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am pleased. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married Julaibib to that girl. Afterwards, once the people of Madinah were frightened, Sayyiduna Julaibib mounted to dispel it, but when the Muslims reached there, they found Julaibib in such a state that he had been killed, and some polytheists were lying dead around him. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw that woman, and her house was the most prosperous among the houses of Madinah.
Hadith 6858
وَعَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوُهُ مُطَوَّلًا وَفِي آخِرِهِ قَالَ ثَابِتٌ فَمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ أَيِّمٌ أَنْفَقُ مِنْهَا وَحَدَّثَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ثَابِتًا قَالَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ مَا دَعَا لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ صُبَّ عَلَيْهَا الْخَيْرَ صَبًّا وَلَا تَجْعَلْ عَيْشَهَا كَدًّا كَدًّا قَالَ فَمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ أَيِّمٌ أَنْفَقُ مِنْهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), similar to the aforementioned narration, except that at the end it states: Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Among the Ansar, there was no woman without a husband who spent more than her. Ishaq bin Abdullah narrated from Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Do you know what supplication the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made for her? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made this supplication: O Allah! Bestow abundant goodness upon her and do not make her life one of hardship and toil. Among the Ansar, there was no woman without a husband who was more renowned and blessed than her.
Hadith 6859
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ مِنْ خُنَيْسِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ أَوْ حُذَيْفَةَ شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا فَتُوُفِّيَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ قَالَ سَأَنْظُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ فَلَقِينِي فَقَالَ مَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ يَوْمِي هَذَا قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا فَكُنْتُ أَوْجَدَ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي عَلَى عُثْمَانَ فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ فَخَطَبَهَا إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْكَحْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَقِينِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَلَيَّ حِينَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ حَفْصَةَ فَلَمْ أَرْجِعْ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا حِينَ عَرَضْتَهَا عَلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُهَا وَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَوْ تَرَكَهَا لَنَكَحْتُهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: My daughter, Sayyidah Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), became a widow after the death of Sayyiduna Khunais bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him). He was among the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and had participated in the Battle of Badr, and he passed away in Madinah. I met Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and offered Hafsa to him, and I said: If you wish, I will marry Hafsa to you. He said: I will think about it. I waited for a few days, then he met me and said: I do not intend to marry at this time. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and I said: If you wish, I will marry my daughter Hafsa to you. He did not give any answer, and because of this, I was more grieved with him than with Uthman. Nevertheless, I waited for a few days, and then a proposal for my daughter’s marriage came from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I married her to him. Later, when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) met me, he said: When you offered Hafsa to me and I did not give you any answer, you must have been upset with me? I said: Yes, indeed. He said: The only thing that prevented me from responding to your offer was that I had heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mention Sayyidah Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her). It was a secret, and I did not want to disclose the secret of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If he (peace and blessings be upon him) had not married her, I would have married Hafsa.
Hadith 6860
عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَالِسًا وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِيَّ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ مَا كَانَ أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا فَقَالَ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ رَغِبَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا
Thabit Banani says: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and one of his daughters was also present with him. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A woman came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you have a desire to marry me? Sayyiduna Anas’s (may Allah be pleased with him) daughter said that the woman had so little modesty. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O daughter! She was better than you, because she expressed her desire regarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and presented herself to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
