Sahih al-Bukhari 3568 (Book 62, Hadith 76)
saying, “Your people think that you do not become angry for the sake of your daughters as `Ali is now
going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl. “On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) got up and after his recitation of
Tashah-hud. I heard him saying, “Then after! I married one of my daughters to Abu Al-`As bin Al-
Rabi` (the husband of Zainab, the daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) before Islam and he proved truthful in
whatever he said to me. No doubt, Fatima is a part of me, I hate to see her being troubled. By Allah,
the daughter of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and the daughter of Allah’s Enemy cannot be the wives of one man.”
So `Ali gave up that engagement.
‘Al-Miswar further said: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) talking and he mentioned a son-in-law of his belonging to
the tribe of Bani `Abd-Shams. He highly praised him concerning that relationship and said (whenever)
he spoke to me, he spoke the truth, and whenever he promised me, he fulfilled his promise.”
