Sayyiduna Hujr bin Anbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who had lived in the era of Jahiliyyah, says: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) proposed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Ali! She will be married to you; I am not a deceiver.
Imam al-Bazzar recorded this narration. He says: The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "I am not a deceiver", indicates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had made him this promise, and then said: I do not break a promise. It is not known that the narrator named Hujr narrated any report from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) other than this one.
He narrated only this narration from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy), but the narrator named Hujr did not hear from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
