It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): "When Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) was widowed, having been (before that) married to Sayyiduna Khunays bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and offered her to him (in marriage), but he remained silent. Then he came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and offered her to him, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'I have no need of women.' Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her a proposal and married her. After that, when (Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), (Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'I offered you Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) and you remained silent, so I was more angry with you than with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), who had turned down my request.' Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'In fact, she had been mentioned (by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him), but it was a secret, so I disliked disclosing that secret.'"
