[Machine] I married Hafsah bint al-Mughirah while she was one of the best amongst the youth of the Quraysh. When I was delayed by the proposal of Abdur-Rahman bin Awf with a group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed to me for his freed slave Usamah bin Zaid. I had been informed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever loves me, should love Usamah." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke to me, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have no choice in this matter, so marry me to whomever you please." He said, "Go to Umm Sharik and Umm Sharik is a woman who possesses a great amount of wealth and contributes generously in the cause of Allah. Guests often frequent her house." I said, "That is what I will do." He said, "No, don't do that, for Umm Sharik is a woman who has frequent guests. And I dislike that your veil should be removed, or that your garment should be rent, and the people should see you in a way that you do not like. However, you may go to your cousin Abdillah bin Amr bin Umm Maktum." He belonged to the people of Bani Fihr, one of the sub-tribes of Quraysh, who were allies to each other before Islam, and he belonged to the family of Khadijah bint Khuwailid, the mother of the believers. So, I went to him.
