That when they reached Medina after returning from Yazid bin Mu'awaiya after the martyrdom of Husain bin ʿAli (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him), Al-Miswar bin Makhrama met him and said to him, "Do you have any need you may order me to satisfy?" ʿAli said, "No." Al-Miswar said, Will you give me the sword of Messenger of Allah ﷺ for I am afraid that people may take it from you by force? By Allah, if you give it to me, they will never be able to take it till I die." When ʿAli bin Abu Talib demanded the hand of the daughter of Abi Jahal to be his wife besides Fatima, I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his pulpit delivering a sermon in this connection before the people, and I had then attained my age of puberty. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Fatima is from me, and I am afraid she will be subjected to trials in her religion (because of jealousy)." The Prophet ﷺ then mentioned one of his son-in-law who was from the tribe of 'Abu Shams, and he praised him as a good son-in-law, saying, "Whatever he said was the truth, and he promised me and fulfilled his promise. I do not make a legal thing illegal, nor do I make an illegal thing legal, but by Allah, the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the daughter of the enemy of Allah, (i.e. Abu Jahl) can never get together (as the wives of one man) (See Hadith No. 76, Vo. 5).

لَهُ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ تَأْمُرُنِي بِهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لاَ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَهَلْ أَنْتَ مُعْطِيَّ سَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَغْلِبَكَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْهِ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَعْطَيْتَنِيهِ لاَ يُخْلَصُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبَدًا حَتَّى تُبْلَغَ نَفْسِي إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَطَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ هَذَا وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ مُحْتَلِمٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ تُفْتَنَ فِي دِينِهَا ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ صِهْرًا لَهُ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فِي مُصَاهَرَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَوَعَدَنِي فَوَفَى لِي وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُحَرِّمُ حَلاَلاً وَلاَ أُحِلُّ حَرَامًا وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَجْتَمِعُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ أَبَدًا

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."

إِنَّ عَلِيًّا خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فَسَمِعَتْ بِذَلِكَ فَاطِمَةُ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَزْعُمُ قَوْمُكَ أَنَّكَ لاَ تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ هَذَا عَلِيٌّ نَاكِحٌ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ حِينَ تَشَهَّدَ يَقُولُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَنْكَحْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَحَدَّثَنِي وَصَدَقَنِي وَإِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي وَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَسُوءَهَا وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَجْتَمِعُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ فَتَرَكَ عَلِيٌّ الْخِطْبَةَ وَزَادَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مِسْوَرٍ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ صِهْرًا لَهُ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فِي مُصَاهَرَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ فَأَحْسَنَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَوَعَدَنِي فَوَفَى لِي

The people say that you never feel angry on account of your daughters and now 'Ali is going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl. Makhramah said: Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ rose up and I heard him reciting Tashahhud and say: Now to the point. I gave a daughter of mine (Zainab) to Abu'l-'As b. Rabi, and he spoke to me and spoke the truth. Verily Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, is a part of me and I do not approve that she may be put to any trial and by Allah, the daughter of Messenger of Allah cannot be combined with the daughter of God's enemy (as the co-wives) of one person. Thereupon 'Ali gave up (the idea of his intended) marriage.

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَعِنْدَهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِذَلِكَ فَاطِمَةُ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّكَ لاَ تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ وَهَذَا عَلِيٌّ نَاكِحًا ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ قَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ حِينَ تَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أَنْكَحْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَحَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَإِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ مُضْغَةٌ مِنِّي وَإِنَّمَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَفْتِنُوهَا وَإِنَّهَا وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَجْتَمِعُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ أَبَدًا قَالَ فَتَرَكَ عَلِيٌّ الْخِطْبَةَ

‘Ali bin al-Hussain said that when they returned to Madeenah from Yazid bin Mu’awiyah the place of massacre of Al Hussain bin Ali(may Allaah be pleased with him) Al Miswar bin Makhramah met them and said “tell me if you have any need for me. I said to him “No”. He then said Will you not give me the sword of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ? I fear the people may not take it from you by force. (He said) By Allaah if you give it to me no one can take it from me so long as I am alive. Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allaah be pleased with him) asked for the hand of Abu Jahl’s daughter in marriage after the marriage with Fathima. I heard the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ say while he was addressing the people about this matter on the pulpit and I was mature in those days. Fathima is from me and I am not afraid that she will be tried in respect of her religion. He then mentioned his other son-in-law who belonged to Banu ‘Abd Shams. He admired him immensely for his relationship with him and extolled him well. He said “He talked to me and talked truly and he made promise with me and fulfilled it. I do not make lawful what Is unlawful and unlawful what is lawful. But, by Allaah the daughter of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ and the daughter of the enemy of Allaah can never be combined together.

لَهُ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ تَأْمُرُنِي بِهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لاَ قَالَ هَلْ أَنْتَ مُعْطِيَّ سَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَغْلِبَكَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْهِ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَعْطَيْتَنِيهِ لاَ يُخْلَصُ إِلَيْهِ أَبَدًا حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ إِلَى نَفْسِي إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ ؓ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ هَذَا وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ مُحْتَلِمٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ تُفْتَنَ فِي دِينِهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ صِهْرًا لَهُ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فِي مُصَاهَرَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ فَأَحْسَنَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَوَعَدَنِي فَوَفَّى لِي وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُحَرِّمُ حَلاَلاً وَلاَ أُحِلُّ حَرَامًا وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَجْتَمِعُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ مَكَانًا وَاحِدًا أَبَدًا

'Ali bin Abu Talib proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl, when he was married to Fatimah the daughter of the Prophet. When Fatimah heard of that she went to the Prophet, and said: "Your people are saying that you do not feel angry for your daughters. This 'Ali is going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl." Miswar said: "The Prophet stood up, and I heard him when he bore witness (i.e., said the Shahadah), then he said: 'I married my daughter (Zainab) to Abul-As bin Rabi', and he spoke to me and was speaking the truth. Fatimah bint Muhammad is a part of me, and I hate to see her faced with troubles. By Allah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah and the daughter of the enemy of Allah will never be joined together in marriage to one man." He said: So, 'Ali abandoned the marriage proposal.

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَعِنْدَهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِذَلِكَ فَاطِمَةُ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّكَ لاَ تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ وَهَذَا عَلِيٌّ نَاكِحًا ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ قَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ حِينَ تَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَنْكَحْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَحَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَإِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَفْتِنُوهَا وَإِنَّهَا وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَجْتَمِعُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ أَبَدًا قَالَ فَنَزَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَنِ الْخِطْبَةِ

[AI] Ali proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl and promised marriage. Fatimah came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Your people are saying that you do not become angry for your daughters, and that Ali has proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl." Then the Prophet ﷺ stood, praised Allah ﷻ and extolled Him, and said, "Fatimah is but a part of me, and I dislike that you put her to trial." He mentioned Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi and praised him greatly, and said, "The daughter of the Prophet of Allah cannot be joined together with the daughter of the enemy of Allah." So Ali gave that up.

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا خَطَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ، فَوَعَدَ بِالنِّكَاحِ، فَأَتَتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ، وَأَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَدْ خَطَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ. فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي، وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَفْتِنُوهَا». وَذَكَرَ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ، فَأَكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ الثَّنَاءَ، وَقَالَ: «لَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ ابْنَةِ نَبِيِّ اللهِ وَبِنْتِ عَدُوِّ اللهِ». فَرَفَضَ عَلِىٌّ ذَلِكَ.

(Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2069)

[AI] "So I heard the Prophet ﷺ while he was delivering a sermon on the pulpit about that, and I was at that time like someone who is fenced in. He said, 'Indeed Fatimah is a part of me, and I fear that she may be tempted in her religion. And he mentioned a son-in-law for her from the family of Banu Abd Shams and praised his character in regards to his relationship with her. He said, 'He informed me, and he was truthful with me, and he promised me, and he fulfilled for me. And indeed, I do not make the lawful forbidden, nor do I make the forbidden lawful. But by Allah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah and the daughter of the enemy of Allah will never come together in one place.'"

فَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ كالْمُحْتَلِمِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ مِنِّي وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تُفْتَنَ فِي دِينِهَا وَذَكَرَ صِهْرًا لَهُ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فِي مُصَاهَرَتِهِ فَأَحْسَنَ قَالَ » حَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَوَعَدَنِي فَوَفَى لِي وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُحَرِّمُ حَلَالًا وَلَا أُحِلُّ حَرَامًا وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ لَا تَجْتَمِعُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ مَكَانًا وَاحِدًا أَبَدًا «

[AI] He informed her that Ali had proposed to Abu Jahl's daughter. So Fatimah went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "People claim that you do not get angry for the sake of your daughters, and Ali is marrying Abu Jahl's daughter." Al-Miswar said, "I witnessed this when he was giving his testimony, and he praised and thanked Allah. Then he said, 'As for the matter at hand, I have married my daughter to Abu Al-A'as ibn Al-Rabi'. He informed me, and he is truthful. Indeed, Fatimah is a part of me, and I swear by Allah that the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the daughter of Allah's enemy cannot be found together in a Muslim man's house." So Ali refrained from the proposal.

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ فَاطِمَةَ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ وَهَذَا عَلِيٌّ نَاكِحٌ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ قَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ فَشَهِدْتُهُ ﷺ حِينَ تَشَهَّدَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أَنْكَحْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ ابْنَتِي فَحَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَإِنَّمَا فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي وَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ لَا تَجْتَمِعُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ» فَأَمْسَكَ عَلِيٌّ عَنِ الْخِطْبَةِ

[AI] Ali proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl and promised to marry her. Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ , came and said, "Your people are talking that you do not get angry for the sake of your daughters, and Ali proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Fatimah is a part of me, and I hate to see her harmed." Abu Al-A'as ibn Al-Rabee praised him and said, "The daughter of the Prophet of Allah cannot be married to the daughter of the enemy of Allah."

The people say that you never feel angry on account of your daughters and now 'Ali is going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl. Makhramah said: Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ rose up and I heard him reciting Tashahhud and say: Now to the point. I gave a daughter of mine (Zainab) to Abu'l-'As b. Rabi, and he spoke to me and spoke the truth. Verily Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, is a part of me and I do not approve that she may be put to any trial and by Allah, the daughter of Messenger of Allah cannot be combined with the daughter of God's enemy (as the co-wives) of one person. Thereupon 'Ali gave up (the idea of his intended) marriage. (Using translation from Muslim 2449d)

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَعِنْدَهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِذَلِكَ فَاطِمَةُ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ وَهَذَا عَلِيٌّ نَاكِحًا بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ قَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ تَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أَنْكَحْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَحَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَإِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَفْتِنُوهَا وَإِنَّهَا وَاللهِ لَا تَجْتَمِعُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَابْنَةُ عَدُوِّ اللهِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ أَبَدًا» قَالَ فَتَرَكَ عَلِيٌّ الْخِطْبَةَ

That when they reached Medina after returning from Yazid bin Mu'awaiya after the martyrdom of Husain bin ʿAli (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him), Al-Miswar bin Makhrama met him and said to him, "Do you have any need you may order me to satisfy?" ʿAli said, "No." Al-Miswar said, Will you give me the sword of Messenger of Allah ﷺ for I am afraid that people may take it from you by force? By Allah, if you give it to me, they will never be able to take it till I die." When ʿAli bin Abu Talib demanded the hand of the daughter of Abi Jahal to be his wife besides Fatima, I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his pulpit delivering a sermon in this connection before the people, and I had then attained my age of puberty. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Fatima is from me, and I am afraid she will be subjected to trials in her religion (because of jealousy)." The Prophet ﷺ then mentioned one of his son-in-law who was from the tribe of 'Abu Shams, and he praised him as a good son-in-law, saying, "Whatever he said was the truth, and he promised me and fulfilled his promise. I do not make a legal thing illegal, nor do I make an illegal thing legal, but by Allah, the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the daughter of the enemy of Allah, (i.e. Abu Jahl) can never get together (as the wives of one man) (See Hadith No. 76, Vo. 5). (Using translation from Bukhārī 3110)

لَهُ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ تَأْمُرُنِي بِهَا؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا فَقَالَ هَلْ أَنْتَ مُعْطِيَّيَ سَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَغْلِبَكَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيْمُ اللهِ لَئِنْ أَعْطَيْتَنِي لَا يُخلَصْ إِلَيْهِ أَبَدًا حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ فِيهِ نَفْسِي إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ هَذَا وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ مُحْتَلِمٌ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَخَافُ أَنْ تُفْتَتَنَ فِي دِينِهَا» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ صِهْرَ بَنِي عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ وَأَثْنَى عَلَى أَبِي الْعَاصِ فِي مُصَاهَرَتِهِ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ «فَصَدَقَنِي وَوَعَدَنِي فَوَفَّى لِي وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُحَرِّمُ حَلَالًا وَلَا أُحِلُّ حَرَامًا وَلَكِنْ وَاللهِ لَا تَجْتَمِعُ بَيْنَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَابْنَةِ عَدُوِّ اللهِ»

[AI] Ali ibn Abi Talib proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl and arranged for the marriage. Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ , came to him and said, "Your people say that you do not get angry for the sake of your daughters, and yet Ali proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised Allah and spoke highly of Ali. Then he said, "Indeed, Fatima is a part of me, and I do not like her to be distressed." He also mentioned Abu Al-'As ibn Al-Rabi', and praised him saying, "Indeed, he cannot have both the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the daughter of an enemy of Allah."

أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فأَوْعَدَ النِّكَاحَ فَأَتَتْ فَاطِمَةُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنْ لَا تَغْضَبَ لِبَنَاتِكَ وَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا خَطَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تُفْتَتَنَ» وَذَكَرَ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَأَحْسَنَ عَلَيْهِ الثَّنَاءَ وَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَا يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ ابْنَةِ عَدُوِّ اللهِ»

'Ali bin Abu Talib proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl, when he was married to Fatimah the daughter of the Prophet. When Fatimah heard of that she went to the Prophet, and said: "Your people are saying that you do not feel angry for your daughters. This 'Ali is going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl." Miswar said: "The Prophet stood up, and I heard him when he bore witness (i.e., said the Shahadah), then he said: 'I married my daughter (Zainab) to Abul-As bin Rabi', and he spoke to me and was speaking the truth. Fatimah bint Muhammad is a part of me, and I hate to see her faced with troubles. By Allah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah and the daughter of the enemy of Allah will never be joined together in marriage to one man." He said: So, 'Ali abandoned the marriage proposal. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1999)

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ خَطَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَعِنْدَهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِذَلِكَ فَاطِمَةُ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ وَهَذَا عَلِيٌّ نَاكِحٌ ابْنَةَ أَبِي جَهْلٍ قَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ حِينَ تَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أَنْكَحْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ فَحَدَّثَنِي فَصَدَقَنِي وَأَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي وَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَفْتِنُوهَا وَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ لَا تَجْتَمِعُ ابْنَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ وَابْنَةُ عَدُوِّ اللهِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ أَبَدًا فَتَرَكَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ الْخِطْبَةَ

"عَنْ ابن أَبِى مليكَة: أَنَّ عَلىَّ بن أَبِى طَالِب خَطَب ابنةَ أَبِى جَهْلٍ حَتَّى وعُدَ النِّكَاحَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ فَاطِمَة فقالَتْ لأبيها: تَزعُم النَّاسُ أَنَّكَ لَا تَغْضَبُ لِبَنَاتِكَ، وَهَذَا أبُو الحسنِ قَدْ خَطَبَ ابنَةَ أَبِى جَهلٍ وَقَدْ وعُدَ النكاح، فَقَام النَّبِىُّ ﷺ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ -تَعَالَى- وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلهُ، ثُم ذَكَر أَبَا العَاصِ بن الربيع فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْه في صِهْرِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا فَاطِمَة بضْعَةٌ مِنِّى، وإِنِّى أخْشَى أَنْ تَفْتِنُوهَا، وَاللَّهِ لَا تَجْتَمع بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبِنْتُ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ، فَسَكتَ عَلِىٌّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ النكِّاحِ وتركه".
