[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ proposed to me, Umm Salamah, I said to him, "I have three issues: I am an elderly woman, I am a woman who has been divorced, and I am a woman with intense jealousy." The Prophet ﷺ said, "As for age, I am older than you, and as for children, they belong to Allah and His Messenger, and as for jealousy, I will supplicate to Allah to remove it from you." So the Prophet ﷺ married her. When he entered upon her, he said, "Indeed, with you and your family, there is honor upon me. And I have not married any of my wives for the purpose of fulfilling desires, but if I were to marry for the purpose of fulfilling desires, I would marry women such as yourself."
أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ لَمَّا خَطَبَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لَهُ خِلَالٌ فِيٌّ ثَلَاثٌ أَنَا كَبِيرَةُ السِّنِّ وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ مُطَفَّلٌ وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ الْغَيْرَةِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَا السِّنُّ فَأَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْكِ وَأَمَّا الْأَطْفَالُ فَهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ فَأَدْعُو اللهَ فَيُذْهِبُهَا عَنْكِ» فَتَزَوَّجَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ «إِنَّ بِكِ وَبِأَهْلِكِ عَلَيَّ كَرَامَةً وَإِنِّي لَمْ أُسَبِّعْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ نِسَائِي وَإِنْ أُسَبِّعْ لَكِ أُسَبِّعْ لِنِسَائِي»
