ʿAli demanded the hand of the daughter of Abu Jahl. Fatima heard of this and went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Your people think that you do not become angry for the sake of your daughters as ʿAli is now going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl. "On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and after his recitation of Tashah-hud. I heard him saying, "Then after! I married one of my daughters to Abu Al-ʿAs bin Al- Rabiʿ (the husband of Zainab, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ ) before Islam and he proved truthful in whatever he said to me. No doubt, Fatima is a part of me, I hate to see her being troubled. By Allah, the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the daughter of Allah's Enemy cannot be the wives of one man." So ʿAli gave up that engagement. 'Al-Miswar further said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ talking and he mentioned a son-in-law of his belonging to the tribe of Bani ʿAbd-Shams. He highly praised him concerning that relationship and said (whenever) he spoke to me, he spoke the truth, and whenever he promised me, he fulfilled his promise."
