[Machine] When Ruqayyah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, died, Umar passed by Uthman and asked him, "Do you have any interest in marrying Hafsah, the daughter of Umar?" Uthman did not respond to him. Umar then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Perhaps Allah, the Exalted, will bring you a son-in-law who is better for you than Uthman." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Umar's daughter and also married Uthman with Umm Kulthum. Abu Bakr had proposed to her before, and Umar also proposed to her, but she was not married. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best intermediary for Uthman is that I marry my daughters, but Allah, the Exalted, arranges their marriages." [This part has been abridged by Al-Dhahabi]  

لَمَّا مَاتَتْ رُقَيَّةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عُمَرُ بِعُثْمَانَ وَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ فِي حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا فَأَتَى عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَا عُمَرُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكَ بِصِهْرٍ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ عُثْمَانَ» فَتَزَوَّجُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِابْنَةِ عُمَرَ وَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ مِنْ عُثْمَانَ وَقَدْ كَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ خَطَبَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَخَطَبَهَا عُمَرُ فَلَمْ يُزَوِّجْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ الشَّفِيعِ لِعُثْمَانَ مَا أَنَا أُزَوِّجُ بَنَاتِي وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُزَوِّجُهُنَّ» حذفه الذهبي من التلخيص
