حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ الْحَلَبِيُّ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي مَنِيعٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ
«فَتَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَكَانَتْ قَبْلَهُ تَحْتَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ أَسَدِ خُزَيْمَةَ فَمَاتَ عَنْهَا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ وَكَانَ خَرَجَ بِهَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ مُهَاجِرًا ثُمَّ افْتُتِنَ وَتَنَصَّرَ فَمَاتَ وَهُوَ نَصْرَانِيٌّ وَأَثْبَتَ اللَّهُ الْإِسْلَامَ لِأُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ وَالْهِجْرَةَ ثُمَّ تَنَصَّرَ زَوْجُهَا وَمَاتَ وَهُوَ نَصْرَانِيٌّ وَأَبَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَنْ تَتَنَصَّرَ وَأَتَمَّ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهَا الْإِسْلَامَ وَالْهِجْرَةَ حَتَّى قَدِمَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَخَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَزَوَّجَهَا إِيَّاهُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ» قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ «وَقَدْ زَعَمُوا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَتَبَ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ فَزَوَّجَهَا إِيَّاهُ وَسَاقَ عَنْهُ أَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Umm Habibah bt. Abi Sufyan. She had previously been married to 'Ubayd Allah b. Jahsh al-Asadi, of the Asad of Khuzaymah. He died while she was in the land of Abyssinia, having taken her there as an emigrant from Makkah. Then he was tried and became a Christian, and died a Christian, while Allah confirmed Islam and the emigration for Umm Habibah. Her husband became a Christian and died a Christian, but Umm Habibah bt. Abi Sufyan refused to become a Christian, and Allah, exalted is He, completed Islam and the emigration for her until she arrived in Madinah. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed to her, and 'Uthman b. 'Affan gave her in marriage to him." Al-Zuhri said: "They claimed that the Prophet ﷺ wrote to the Negus, and he gave her in marriage to him and paid on his behalf forty uqiyyahs."
