حَدَّثَنَا
وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
النُّعْمَانَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنِ
الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا خَطَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ ، فَوَعَدَ بِالنِّكَاحِ ، فَأَتَتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ ، وَأَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَدْ خَطَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ :
" إِنَّمَا فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي ، وَأَنَي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَفْتِنُوهَا " وَذَكَرَ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ ، فَأَكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ الثَّنَاءَ وَقَالَ : " لَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ ابْنَةِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ وَبِنْتِ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ " فَرَفَضَ عَلِيٌّ ذَلِكَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Miswar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a marriage proposal to the daughter of Abu Jahl (in the presence of Hazrat Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her) and made a promise of marriage. Upon this, Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "The people of your community are saying among themselves that you do not even get angry in matters concerning your daughters, because Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) has sent a marriage proposal to the daughter of Abu Jahl." Hearing this, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), praised and glorified Allah, and said: "Fatimah is a part of my flesh. I do not consider it good that she be put to trial." Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned his elder son-in-law, Hazrat Abu Al-As bin Al-Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with him), and praised him greatly. Then he said: "The daughter of the Prophet of Allah and the daughter of the enemy of Allah cannot be united in the marriage of one man." Thus, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) abandoned this idea.
