أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَنَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَعْنِي:‏‏‏‏ تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ مِنْ خُنَيْسِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتُوُفِّيَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَتَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَأَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِي فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ بَدَا لِي أَنْ لَا أَتَزَوَّجَ يَوْمِي هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ شِئْتَ زَوَّجْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَمَتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا فَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْجَدَ مِنِّي عَلَى عُثْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْكَحْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَلَيَّ حِينَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ حَفْصَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ أَرْجِعْ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا فِيمَا عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا أَنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ ذَكَرَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَوْ تَرَكَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبِلْتُهَا .

Hafsah bint 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہا became single when (her husband) Khunais bin Hudhafah As-Sahmi (died). He was one of the Companions of the Prophet, and he died in Al-Madinah. Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: I went to 'Uthman bin 'Affan رضی اللہ عنہ and offered Hafsah in marriage to him. I said: 'If you wish, I will marry you to Hafsah bint 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ.' He said: 'I will think about it.' A few days passed, then I met him and he said: 'It seems that 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 bint 'Umar to you.' Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ remained silent, and 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 any 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 ﷺ speak of her, and I did not want to disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If he had left her, then I would have married her.'
