It is narrated from Ali bin Hussain bin Ali bin Abi Talib that Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhrama (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a marriage proposal to the daughter of Abu Jahl, while the daughter of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her), was already in his wedlock. When Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) heard about this, she came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Your people will talk that you do not get angry with anyone regarding your daughters. Now see, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is making preparations to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl." Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, recited the sermon of testimony, and then said: "I married one of my daughters to Abu Al-As bin Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with him), and he fulfilled the promise he made to me. Indeed, Fatima bint Muhammad is a part of me; I do not like that people should distress and grieve her. By Allah! The daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the daughter of the enemy of Allah can never be united in the wedlock of one man." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) abandoned his plan.
