Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina who said, ‘Sa’ad Bin Abu Urwat narrated to me, from Qatada, from Al Hassan Al Basry that, ‘Rasool-Allah^saww married a woman called Sana from the Clan of Aamir Bin Sa’sa’at, and she was from the most beautiful of the people of her time. So when Ayesha and Hafsa looked at her, they both said, ‘This one will overwhelm us upon Rasool-Allah^saww with her beauty’. So they both said to her, ‘Rasool-Allah^saww does not see any keenness from you’. So when she went over to Rasool-Allah^saww, he^saww held her by his^saww hand, so she said, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah^azwj’. So Rasool-Allah^saww let go of her hand and divorced her, and attached her with her family. And Rasool-Allah^saww married a woman from Kinda, daughter of Abu Al-Jawn. So when Ibrahim^as, son^as of Rasool-Allah^saww passed away, the son^as of Mariah the Coptic, she said, ‘Had he^saww been a Prophet^saww his^saww son^as would not have passed away’. So Rasool-Allah^saww attached her with her family before sleeping with her. So when Rasool-Allah^saww passed away, and Abu Bakr ruled the people, the Aamiriyya woman and the Kindiyya woman came over to him, and they had been proposed to (for marriage). So Abu Bakr and Umar got together, so they both said to them, ‘Either both of you choose the veil if you so desire to, or if you so desire to you choose the sexual satisfaction’. So they both chose the sexual satisfaction, but one of the two men (husbands) became a leper, and the other one became insane’ (even before touching them). Umar Bin Azina (the narrator) said, ‘So I narrated with this Hadeeth to Zurara and Al-Fuzayl, so they both reported from Abu Ja’far^asws that: ‘Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic did not Forbid from something except that He^azwj was disobeyed in it, so much so that they even married the wives of the Prophet^saww, after him^saww’, and he^asws mentioned these two (women), the Aamiriyya woman and the Kindiyya woman. Then Abu Ja’far^asws said: ‘If you were to ask them about a man who marries a woman, so he divorces her before going to bed with her, would she be Permissible to his son? They would said, ‘No’. So, Rasool-Allah^saww is greater in sanctity than their own fathers’.
