أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ مِنْ خُنَيْسٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حُذَافَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتُوُفِّيَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَقِيتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَفْصَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَأَنْظُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ فَلَقِيتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ يَوْمِي هَذَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْجَدَ مِنِّي عَلَى عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ فَخَطَبَهَا إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْكَحْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَلَيَّ حِينَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ حَفْصَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ أَرْجِعْ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي حِينَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَوْ تَرَكَهَا نَكَحْتُهَا .

Hafsah bint 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہا became single when (her husband) Khunais -meaning bin Hudhafah- (died). He was one of the Companions of the Prophet who had been present at Badr, and he died in Al-Madinah. I met 'Uthman bin 'Affan رضی اللہ عنہ and offered Hafsah in marriage to him. I said: 'If you wish, I will marry you to Hafsah.' He said: 'I will think about it.' A few days passed, then I met him and he said: 'I do not want to get married at the moment.' 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: Then I met Abu Bakr As-Siddiq رضی اللہ عنہ , and said: 'If you wish, I will marry Hafsah to you.' He did not give me any answer, and I felt more upset with him than I had with 'Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ . Several days passed, then the Messenger of Allah proposed marriage to her, and I married her to him. Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ met me and said: 'Perhaps you felt upset with me when you offered Hafsah in marriage to me and I did not give you an answer?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Nothing prevented me from giving you an answer when you made the offer to me except the fact that I had heard the Messenger of Allah speak of her, and I did not want to disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah; if he had left her, then I would have married her.'
