He said,“There are orphan children under Salih’s care; he will not be willing to leave them, he will give them preference for marriage.”Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abdullah went to his uncle Zayd bin Khattab so that he could send the proposal. Thus, Zayd went to Salih and said,“Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) has sent me to you; he intends to marry your daughter.”He said,“There are orphan children under my care; I do not wish to dishonor myself and honor you. I make you a witness that I have married so-and-so to so-and-so.”However, the mother of that woman inclined towards Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both); she came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said,“O Messenger of Allah! Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) had sent a marriage proposal for my daughter, but Salih married her to an orphan under his care and did not consult me.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Salih.
