"When Hafsa became a widow," `Umar said, "I met Abu Bakr and said to him, 'If you wish I will
marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you.' I waited for a few days then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked for her hand. Later
Abu Bakr met me and said, 'Nothing stopped me from returning to you concerning your offer except
that I knew that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had mentioned (his wish to marry) her, and I could never let out the
secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . If he had left her, I would have accepted her.' "

(the daughter of Muawwidh bin Afra) After the consummation of my marriage, the Prophet (ﷺ) came and
sat on my bed as far from me as you are sitting now, and our little girls started beating the
tambourines and reciting elegiac verses mourning my father who had been killed in the battle of Badr.
One of them said, "Among us is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow." On that the
Prophet said, "Leave this (saying) and keep on saying the verses which you had been saying before."
