It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) came (home). Then the narrator mentioned his death, and that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sent (Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her)) a proposal of marriage and she declined, then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a proposal and she refused him too. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her a proposal of marriage, and she said: "There are three traits in me (of such a kind)." When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) heard what she had said in reply to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he became angry for the sake of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) even more than he had for himself. Then he came to her and said: "Are you the one who turns down the proposal of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? On what basis are you replying to him?" She said: "O son of al-Khattab, there are such and such (excuses) in me." And in the hadith it is narrated that (he (peace and blessings be upon him) said): "As for the jealousy you mentioned, I will pray to Allah Almighty to remove it from you." The narrator says: (After this supplication) she was among the women as if she were not one of them; she no longer felt the jealousy that women usually feel.
I (Ibn Hajar) say: Imam Ahmad narrated it through Hammad bin Salamah from Thabit, but this addition is not in it.
