UMM SALAMAH HIND BINT ABĪ UMAYYAH BIN AL-MUGHĪRAH

It was narrated from Umm Salamah that when her 'iddah period had ended, Abū Bakr sent word to her proposing marriage to her, but she did not marry him. Then the Messenger of Allāh sent 'Umar bin al-Khattāb with a proposal of marriage. She said:

"Tell the Messenger of Allāh that I am a jealous woman and that I have sons, and none of my guardians are present."

He went to the Messenger of Allāh and told him that. He said, "Go back to her and tell her:

"As for your saying that you are a jealous woman: I will pray to Allāh for you to take away your jealousy. As for your saying that you have sons: your sons will be taken care of. And as for your saying that none of your guardians are present: none of your guardians, present or absent would object to that."

She said to her son 'Umar:

"O 'Umar, stand and marry me to the Messenger of Allāh."

Thus, her son 'Umar performed the marriage.*
