(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنِ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
سَالِمٍ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ ، وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ خُنَيْسِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ ، لَقِيَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ عُثْمَانَ ، فَعَرَضَهَا عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : مَا لِي فِي النِّسَاءِ حَاجَةٌ ، وَسَأَنْظُرُ ، فَلَقِيَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، فَعَرَضَهَا عَلَيْهِ فَسَكَتَ ، فَوَجَدَ عُمَرُ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَإِذَا " رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ خَطَبَهَا " ، فَلَقِيَ عُمَرُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي كُنْتُ عَرَضْتُهَا عَلَى عُثْمَانَ ، فَرَدَّنِي ، وَإِنِّي عَرَضْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ ، فَسَكَتَّ عَنِّي ، فَلَأَنَا عَلَيْكَ كُنْتُ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنِّي عَلَى عُثْمَانَ وَقَدْ رَدَّنِي ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ ذَكَرَ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا ، وَكَانَ سِرًّا ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُفْشِيَ السِّرَّ " .
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that when Sayyida Hafsa’s husband, Sayyiduna Khunais bin Hudhafa (may Allah be pleased with him), passed away, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and presented to him the proposal of marrying his daughter. He said, “I have no inclination towards women, but I will think about it.” After that, he met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said the same to him, but he did not reply to me. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was more upset with him than with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). After a few days, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a marriage proposal for himself, so he married Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Coincidentally, once he met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said, “I presented my daughter’s marriage proposal to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gave a clear answer, but when I presented it to you, you remained silent, because of which I was more upset with you than with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).” Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had mentioned Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her). I did not want to disclose the secret of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had left her, I would certainly have married her.”
