سنن النسائي

It was narrated from Umm Salamah, that when her 'Iddah had ended, Abu Bakr sent word to her proposing marriage to her, but she did not marry him. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent 'Umar bin Al-Khattab with a proposal of marriage. She said: "Tell the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that I am a jealous woman and that I have sons, and none of my guardians are present." He went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him that. He said: "Go back to her and tell her: As for your saying that you are a jealous woman, I will pray to Allah for you to take away your jealousy. As for your saying that you have sons, your sons will be taken care of. And as for your saying that none of your guardians are present, none of your guardians, present or absent, would object to that." She said to her son: "O 'Umar, get up and perform the marriage to the Messenger of Allah," so he performed the marriage.
