Hadith 706
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا وَهُوَ أَعْجَبُ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَذَا : لا يُصَابُ أَحَدٌ بِمُصِيبَةٍ ، فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَطَبَهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، فِيَّ خِلالٌ ثَلاثٌ أَخَافُهُنَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنَا امْرَأَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ الْغَيْرَةِ ، وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِي أَحَدٌ يُزَوِّجُنِي ، وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ مُصْبِيَةٌ ، فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَغَضِبَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشَدَّ مِمَّا غَضِبَ لِنَفْسِهِ حِينَ قَالَتْ لَهُ : يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا قَالَتْ ، فَأَتَاهَا فَقَالَ : " أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ مِنْ غَيْرَتِكِ فَأَدْعُوا اللَّهَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِهَا عَنْكِ ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ مِنْ صِبْيَتِكِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَكْفِيهِمْ ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتِ أَنْ لَيْسَ هَهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكِ يُزَوِّجُكِ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكِ شَاهِدٌ وَلا غَائِبٌ يَكْرَهُنِي " فَقَالَتْ لابْنِهَا : زَوِّجْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَزَوَّجَهَا .
Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I heard a statement (hadith) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) which is dearer to me than receiving (so much) wealth: Whoever is afflicted by a calamity... etc., she mentioned part of the hadith. The narrator says: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her a marriage proposal, so she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is most welcome (i.e., I accept your proposal), but there are three matters because of which I fear marrying the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): I am a woman of intense jealousy (anger), I have no guardian to marry me off, and I am a woman with children. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this, he became so angry for the sake of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he had never been so angry even for his own sake. Her (Umm Salamah’s) words reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he came to her and said: As for the jealousy (anger) you mentioned, I will pray to Allah Almighty that He removes your jealousy. As for the matter of children you mentioned, Allah Almighty will suffice them. And as for your saying that you have no guardian here to marry you to me, then none of your guardians will dislike me, whether he is present or absent. Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her son: Marry me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he married her to him.
