Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1033b
"عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بن يَسَارٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّاب رُفِع إليه خَصِىٌّ تَزوَّجَ امْرَأةً سَألَت ابْنَها أَنْ يُزَوِّجها، فكره ذلك، وذهبَ إِلى عُمَرَ فذكرَ ذلكَ لَهُ، فقال عمر: اذْهَبْ فَإِذَا كانَ غَدًا أتَيْتُكُم، فجاءَ عُمَرُ فكَلَّمها ولم يُكْثِر، ثم أخَذَ بَيدِ ابْنِهَا فقَالَ لهُ: زَوِّجها فوَالَّذى نفسُ عُمرَ بيدِه لو أن (حَنْتَمَة) بنْتَ هِشَام - يَعْنى عُمَرُ أُمَّ نَفْسِهِ - سَألتنى أَنْ أُزَوِّجَها لَزَوَّجْتُها، فَزَوَّجَ الرَّجُلُ أمَّهُ".

"From Sulayman ibn Yasar that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was brought a eunuch who had married a woman, and she asked her son to marry her off, but he disliked that. He went to 'Umar and mentioned that to him. 'Umar said: Go, and when it is tomorrow, I will come to you. 'Umar came and spoke to her, and did not press. Then he took the hand of her son and said to him: Marry her off. By Him in whose hand is the soul of 'Umar, if Hantamah bint Hisham, meaning 'Umar's own mother, had asked me to marry her off, I would have married her off. So the man married his mother."
