Musnad Abi Ya'la 4161 — when the time of death of Sayyiduna Abu
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَجْلَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، مِنْ بَنِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي؟ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ خَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي كَبِيرَةُ السِّنِّ، قَالَ: «أَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْكِ سِنًّا، وَالْعِيَالُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ فَأَرْجُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَهَا»، فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا بِرَحَاءَيْنِ، وَجَزَّةٍ لِلْمَاءِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the time of death of Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) drew near, Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked (in distress): To whom are you leaving me in charge? So he made this supplication: 'Allahumma innaka li-Umm Salamah khayrun min Abi Salamah' (O Allah, be better for Umm Salamah (as a guardian and caretaker) than Abu Salamah). Then, when he passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her a proposal of marriage, upon which she said (as an excuse) that she was a woman of advanced age. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am older than you in age, and the (care of the) family is upon Allah and His Messenger; as for your jealousy, I hope that Allah Almighty will remove it from your heart." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her and sent her (at the time of her coming to him) two hand-mills and a vessel (water-skin) for water.
