It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: I heard Sayyidah Umm Hani' Fakhitah bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) say: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), in the year of the Conquest of Makkah, praying eight rak'ahs wrapped in a single garment."

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that it has been mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), before the beginning of revelation, proposed to his uncle Abu Talib for marriage to Umm Hani'. Hubayrah bin Abi Wahb also proposed at the same time, and Abu Talib married her to Hubayrah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O uncle! You married her to Hubayrah and left me?" He replied: O my nephew! I have formed a marriage tie with them, and a noble man repays a noble man in kind. Then she (Umm Hani') accepted Islam, and Islam separated her from Hubayrah. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed to her himself, and she said: By Allah! I used to love (and revere) you even in the days of Jahiliyyah, so what will my state be now in the days of Islam! (That is, now the love is all the greater.)

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed marriage to me, and I excused myself, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted my excuse. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse, from "O Prophet! We have made lawful for you your wives whose dowries you have paid" up to "and those women who emigrated with you" [Surah al-Ahzab: 50] . Sayyidah Umm Hani' (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I was not lawful for him (peace and blessings be upon him), because I had not emigrated with him (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, I was one of the "Tulaqa'" (the people set free at the Conquest of Makkah).
