Hazrat Hafsa, may Allah be pleased with her, was the daughter of Sayyiduna Hazrat Umar ibn al Khattab (rh). She had been married to someone else, but was widowed when she as still very young, only eighteen. Umar asked both Hazrat Abu Bakr (rh) and Hazrat Uthman ibn Affan (rh), one after another, if they would like to marry her, but they both declined because they knew that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had expressed an interest in marrying her. When HazratUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to complain about their behavior, the Prophet smiled, and said, "Hafsa will marry one better than Uthman and Uthman will marry one better than Hafsa." Hazrat Umar (rh) was startled and then realized that it was the Prophet was asking for her hand in marriage. HE was overcome with delight. They were married just after the battle of Badr, when Hazrat Hafsa (rh) was about twenty years old and the Prophet as fifty-six. By this marriage, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) strengthened the ties between two of his closest Companions, the two who would become the first two rightly guided khalifs after his death. He was now married to the daughter of Hazrat Abu Bakr(rh). Hazrat A'isha (rh) and to the daughter of Hazrat Umar(rh), Hazrat Hafsa (rh).

Two of the other closest Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who would become the third and fourth rightly guided Khalifs were also connected to the Prophet through marriage. Hazrat Uthman ibn Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) married Hazrat Ruqayya (rh), daughter of the Prophet(SAW), in Mecca, and then, after her death in Medina, soon after the battle of Badr, he had married Hazrat Umm Khulthum (rh), also the daughter of the Prophet . It was because he married two of the daughters of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that Hazrat Uthman (rh) was given the title of Dhun Nurayn, which means 'the possessor of two lights'. And Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) had married Hazrat Fatima (rh), the youngest daughter of the Prophet(SAW), shortly before the Prophet(SAW) had married Hazrat A'isha[ra]. Hazrat Hafsa (rh), like Hazrat A'isha (rh) with whom she became close friends, was never at a loss for words, and was not afraid to argue with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who was content to allow her to say what she thought. One day, while speaking to Hazrat Hafsa's mother. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I think I shall so and so." Whereupon his wife replied, "But it would be better if you did such and such." "Are you arguing with me, woman?" said Umar who was a fierce man who did not expect his wives to talk back at him. "Why not?" she answered. "Your daughter keeps arguing with the Messenger of Allah until she upsets him for the whole day." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) immediately put on his cloak and went directly to his daughter's house. "Is it true that you argue with the Messenger of Allah?" he asked. "Indeed I do." She replied. Hazrat Umar (rh) was just about to chastise her for what he considered were bad manners, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came into the room and would not allow him to even touch her. So HAzrat Umar (rh) went round to visit Hazrat Umm Salama(rh) to whom HAzratUmar (rh) was related in order to try and influence Hazrat Hafsa's behavior through her.

"I wonder at you, Ibn Khattab," she said, after she had listened to him. "You have interfered in everything. Will you now interfere between the Messenger of Allah and his wives?" Sayiduna Hazrat Umar(rh) when relating this incident, continued, "And she kept after me until she mad me give up much of what I thought proper." Some sources say that the Prophet divorced Hazrat Hafsa (rh) with a single divorce and that Hazrat Umar (rh) was heart broken when this happened and began to throw dust on his head.

Then the Prophet took her back after Jibril had descended and said to him. "Take Hafsa back. She fasts and prays and she will be your wife in the Garden." Like Hazrat A'isha(rh), Hazrat Hafsa (rh) memorized the entire Qur'an by heart. The written copy of the Qur'an which was recorded by Hazrat Zayd ibn Thabit (rh) on Hazrat Abu Bakr's instructions, and which was then given to Hazrat Umar (rh) for safekeeping, was then given by Hazrat Umar (rh) to Hazrat Hafsa (rh) to look after. When Hazrat Uthman (rh) eventually became the khalif, he instructed several written copies of the Qur'an to be made so that they could be sent to the main centers of the now rapidly expanding Muslim empire, and it was the copy in Hazrat Hafsa's keeping that was used, after it had been meticulously checked for its accuracy by referring to all the other written records of the Qur'an and to all the Muslims who knew the Qur'an by heart.

Hazrat Hafsa (rh) lived with the Prophet [Peace be upon Him] in Medina for eight years, may Allah bless him and grant him peace and lived on for another thirty four years after his death, witnessing with joy the victories and expansion of Islam under her father's guidance, and with sorrow the troubles that beset the Muslim community after the murder of HAzrat Uthman (rh). She died in 47 AH at the age of sixty-three. May Allah be pleased with her.

Mufti! You are not fooling anyone.

Obviously you have no self respect. No gentleman would use such words against a lady even if he disagrees with her on beliefs. But, you are no gentleman. Nowadays, any thug, unsophisticated, rude, uneducated, horny and illiterate can access the net. Yes, I mean you.

You are doing a great work in ruining Shia's image. Keep on the good work. LOL

Jaani this isn't mufti e azam, this was me, i have answer to your this question but if i answer you here, some hypocrites will edit or delete my post. Your telling me what 'respect' or 'image' is. haha

No kidding!!!

And you are proud of yourself?

Frankly I didn't know that you are this kind of guys. You only feel that you are virile when you abuse women?

:o)

No comment. The situation describes itself.

but i think you should also stopp the guys who are not having respect for 12th Imam and Imam khomeini, and other shia figurs.

no partiality, Sir.

^^^^^ I'll when you start telling your friends to hold their tongues and stop using obscene language with explicit sexual content against other members especially sisters. This is a forum not a brothel sir.

With compliments of the chef.

true but this should be stopped once and for all, i hope something good from you

And please read this too, In her shaan.

Sahih Bukhari Hadith: 6.438
Narrated Umar:

The wives of the Prophet out of their jealousy, backed each other against the Prophet, so I said to them, "It may be, if he divorced you all, that Allah will give him, instead of you wives better than you." So this Verse (66.5) was revealed.

Sahih Bukhari Hadith: 6.436
Narrated Ibn Abbas:

I intended to ask Umar so I said, "Who were those two ladies who tried to back each other against the [b]Prophet[/b]?" I hardly finished my speech when he said, They were Aisha and [b]Hafsa[/b]."

If the Allah threatened the two wives of the Prophet by divorce, because they backed each other against the Prophet, then how can we render them as pure and sinless? Moreover, the following tradition states that the Prophet (PBUH&HF) deserted Aisha and Hafsa for one full month as punishment for revealing the secret news:

Well as a modest member and a Muslim, I am trying to do as much as I can to spread healthy environment for debate for everyone.

If everyone starts to apply rules to himself, things will be controlled :)

Firoz, I don't have time to comment on hadiths right now as I am in a hurry. However I want to see the whole nas of hadith. Till then, this is what I say. Ummahat al-Momineen were great ladies. Each one of them did a lot to show her love for the Prophet [saw] and Islam. I've also read somewhere that Hz Hafsa [ra] relinquished some of her rights to Hz Aisha [ra] when she saw that she had a great place in the life of the Prophet [saw]. This shows her altruistic nature. Plus, we always say that they are great women because they have worked to achieve this status not ma'sumat. If you are saying that they are bad (ma'azallah) because they were jealous, there are other riwayyats and hadiths in their favor. Isn't jealousy a human feeling? Why the partiality, why not take all the compilation of hadiths related to them. They were human. They both loved the Prophet [saw] and eventually found a way to settle their differences.

Open a new thread about this matter so it may be discussed.

{EDITED}

hahaaa, are you for real?

So you are a liar too. If you can't assume the responsibility of your words, don't say them. This is what you said exact words




This is obscence talk from a person who has no self respect not a suitor wanting to get married.

1) First what Salafi? you are Shii ya Mufti. 2) yes you were addressing one particular woman, sister Hafsa. 3) I don't know where you got the word halala but you talk about it as if it's prostitution (using the word pay; in Misyar women relinquinsh some of their rights & aren't looking for money). Misyar is a marriage. We have discussed this issue before on another thread. Dig it up and post under it if you dare.

You should be ashamed of saying all the obscene stuff you said and come back to argue about it. So bug off. You arenot worth the trouble. Bye bye ... hope you'll find your way out being so distracted by your defiled quest, poor thing :))))))))))))))))))))
