Urwah bin Zubair narrates that Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away at night, and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) buried her during the night itself.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: My daughter Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) became a widow after the death of Sayyiduna Khunais bin Hudhafah or Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him). He was among the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and had participated in the Battle of Badr, and he passed away in Madinah. I met Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and offered Hafsa to him and said: If you wish, I will marry Hafsa to you. He said: I will think about it. I waited for a few days, then he met me and said: I do not intend to marry at this time. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: If you wish, I will marry my daughter Hafsa to you. He did not reply, and because of this, I was more grieved over him than over Uthman. Nevertheless, I waited for a few days, then a proposal for my daughter’s marriage came from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I married her to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Later, when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) met me, he said: When you offered Hafsa to me and I did not reply, you must have been upset with me? I said: Yes, indeed. He said: Only one thing prevented me from responding to your offer, that I had heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mention Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her). This was a secret, and I did not want to disclose the secret of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If he (peace and blessings be upon him) had not married her, I would have married Hafsa.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) was married to Sayyiduna Khunais (may Allah be pleased with him). When she became a widow, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and offered him Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) in marriage. But Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he had no need for a wife, however, he would think about it. After that, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and offered him Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) in marriage as well. But he remained silent (and gave no reply). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) felt displeasure in his heart towards Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Soon after, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a proposal for marriage to Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her). After this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I offered Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) in marriage to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), but he refused. After that, I offered you Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) in marriage, but you remained silent and did not even give me a reply. So I was more angry with you than with Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), because he had at least clearly refused. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In fact, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had mentioned marrying Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), and this matter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was still a secret, so I did not consider it permissible to disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). (And so I remained silent).

It is narrated from Asim bin Umar that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, divorced Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Hafsah bint Umar, and then took her back.
