Narrated Abdullah Bin Umar: Umar Bin AlKhattab said; When Hafsa bint Umar became a widow after the death of her husband Khunais Bin Hudhafa AlSahmi who had been one of the companions of the Prophet; and he died at Medina. I went to Uthman Bin Affan and presented Hafsa for marriage to him. He said; I will think it over. I waited for a few days; then he met me and said; It seems that it is not possible for me to marry at present. Umar further said; I met Abu Bakr AlSiddiq and said to him; If you wish; I will marry my daughter Hafsa to you. Abu Bakr kept quiet and did not say anything to me in reply. I became more angry with him than with Uthman. I waited for a few days and then Allah Messenger ﷺ asked for her hand; and I gave her in marriage to him. Afterwards I met Abu Bakr who said; Perhaps you became angry with me when you presented Hafsa to me and I did not give you a reply? I said; Yes. Abu Bakr said; Nothing stopped me to respond to your offer except that I knew that Allah Apostle had mentioned her; and I never wanted to let out the secret of Allah Messenger ﷺ. And if Allah Apostle had refused her; I would have accepted her.
