Hafsah bint 'Umar became the widow of Khunais or Hudhaifah bin Hudhafah - 'Abdur-Razzaq was not certain. He was one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ who were present at Badr, and he died in Madinah, I met 'Uthman bin ʿAffan and offered I Hafsah to him in marriage, I said: If you wish, I will marry Hafsah to you. He said: I will think about it. A few days passed, then he met me and said: I do not want to get married at present. 'Umar said: Then I met Abu Bakr and I said: If you wish, I will marry Hafsah the daughter of ‘Umar to you. He did not give any response to me, and I was more upset with him than with 'Uthman. A few days passed, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed marriage to her and he gave her in marriage to him. Abu Bakr met me and said: Perhaps you felt upset with me when you offered Hafsah to me in marriage and I did not give you any response? I said: Yes. He said: Nothing prevented me from giving you an answer when you offered her to me in marriage except that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention her and I did not want to disclose the private matters of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If he had not married her, I would have married her. (Using translation from Aḥmad 74)

bukhari:4005Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > al-Zuhrī > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar Yuḥaddith

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab said, "When (my daughter) Hafsa bint ʿUmar lost her husband Khunais bin Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and had fought in the battle of Badr and had died in Medina, I met ʿUthman bin ʿAffan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint ʿUmar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.' Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint ʿUmar.' He kept quiet and did not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I was with ʿUthman . Some days later, Messenger of Allah ﷺ demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except that I learnt that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose the secret of Messenger of Allah ﷺ , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her."

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab said, "When Hafsa bint ʿUmar became a widow after the death of (her husband) Khunais bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi who had been one of the companions of the Prophet, and he died at Medina. I went to ʿUthman bin ʿAffan and presented Hafsa (for marriage) to him. He said, "I will think it over.' I waited for a few days, then he met me and said, 'It seems that it is not possible for me to marry at present.' " ʿUmar further said, "I met Abu Bakr As-Siddique and said to him, 'If you wish, I will marry my daughter Hafsa to you." Abu Bakr kept quiet and did not say anything to me in reply. I became more angry with him than with ʿUthman. I waited for a few days and then Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked for her hand, and I gave her in marriage to him. Afterwards I met Abu Bakr who said, 'Perhaps you became angry with me when you presented Hafsa to me and I did not give you a reply?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing stopped me to respond to your offer except that I knew that Allah's Apostle had mentioned her, and I never wanted to let out the secret of Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

'Umar said: Then I met Abu Bakr and I said: If you wish, I will marry Hafsah the daughter of ‘Umar to you. He did not give any response to me, and I was more upset with him than with 'Uthman. A few days passed, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed marriage to her and he gave her in marriage to him. Abu Bakr met me and said: Perhaps you felt upset with me when you offered Hafsah to me in marriage and I did not give you any response? I said: Yes. He said: Nothing prevented me from giving you an answer when you offered her to me in marriage except that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention her and I did not want to disclose the private matters of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If he had not married her, I would have married her. (Using translation from Aḥmad 74)

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab said, "When (my daughter) Hafsa bint ʿUmar lost her husband Khunais bin Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and had fought in the battle of Badr and had died in Medina, I met ʿUthman bin ʿAffan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint ʿUmar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.' Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint ʿUmar.' He kept quiet and did not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I was with ʿUthman . Some days later, Messenger of Allah ﷺ demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except that I learnt that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose the secret of Messenger of Allah ﷺ , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her."

Hafsah bint 'Umar became the widow of Khunais or Hudhaifah bin Hudhafah - 'Abdur-Razzaq was not certain.

"تأَيَّمَتْ حفصةُ من خُنيْسِ بن حذافَة، وكانَ من أَصحَابِ النبىِّ ﷺ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بدرًا فَتُوُفِّىَ بالمدينةِ، فلقيتُ عثمانَ بن عَفَّانَ فعرضتُ عليهِ حفصةَ فقلتُ: إنِ شئتَ أنكحتُكَ حفصة، قَالَ: سأنظرُ في ذلكَ، فلبثتُ لَيالِىَ، فقالَ: مَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أتزوجَ يَوْمِى هَذَا، فلقيتُ أَبا بكرٍ، فقلتُ: إِنْ شِئتَ أنكحتُكَ حفصة، فَلَم يُرْجعْ إِلىَّ شيئًا، فَكُنْتُ أوجَدَ عَليه مني على عثمان، فلبثتُ ليالِىَ، فخطبَهَا إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فأنكحْتُهَا إياهُ فلَقِيَنى أَبو بكرٍ فَقَالَ: لعلكَ وَجَدْتَ علىَّ حينَ عرضتَ علىَّ، إلا إِنِّي سمعتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يذكرُهَا وَلَمْ أكنْ لأُفْشِىَ سرَّ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ ولو تَرَكَهَا لَنَكَحْتُهَا".
