أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ خَطَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رضى الله عنهما فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّهَا صَغِيرَةٌ " . فَخَطَبَهَا عَلِيٌّ فَزَوَّجَهَا مِنْهُ .
Translation
Al-Husayn ibn Hurayth reported to us; he said: al-Fadl ibn Musa narrated to us, from al-Husayn ibn Waqid, from Abd Allah ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, proposed to Fatimah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘She is young.’ Then Ali proposed to her, and he married her to him.
