وَحَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ: نَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ:
حِينَ تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ مِنْ خُنَيْسِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَدْ شَهِدَ مَعَهُ بَدْرًا فَتُوُفِّيَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ عُمَرُ: " فَلَقِيتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ: إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَأَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِي، فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَا أَتَزَوَّجُ فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا، فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ فَصَمَتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ، فَكُنْتُ أَوْجَدَ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي عَلَى عُثْمَانَ، فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِي ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْكَحْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَلَيَّ حِينَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ حَفْصَةَ فَلَمْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ شَيْئًا قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ ذَكَرَ حَفْصَةَ، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَلَوْ تَرَكَهَا قَبِلْتُهَا

✧ When Hafsah became a widow after Khunays b. Hudhafah al-Sahmi, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and had been present with him at Badr and died in Madinah, 'Umar said: 'I met 'Uthman b. 'Affan and offered Hafsah to him, saying: If you wish, I will marry you to Hafsah bint 'Umar. He said: I will consider my situation. I waited for some nights, then he met me and said: I will not marry today. Then I met Abu Bakr and said to him: If you wish, I will marry you to Hafsah bint 'Umar. Abu Bakr remained silent and did not respond to me at all, and I was more upset with him than with 'Uthman. I waited for some nights, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed to her, and I married her to him. Abu Bakr met me and said: Perhaps you were upset with me when you offered Hafsah to me and I did not respond to you. I said: Yes. He said: Nothing prevented me from responding to you about what you offered except that I already knew the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had mentioned Hafsah, and I would not disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Had he left her, I would have accepted her.'
