Did the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, marry a girl he proposed to twice and she rejected him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
First: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, proposed to a woman, and she said: "I seek refuge in Allah from you." He then said: "I have granted you refuge from me."
Second: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, proposed to Umm Hani bint Abi Talib twice: 1. In Islam: She excused herself due to her old age and having children, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, agreed with her. 2. In the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah): He proposed to her from Abu Talib, who then married her to Hubayra al-Makhzumi. The chain of narration for this account is very weak.
