What is the authenticity of the narration regarding the marriage of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to Sanaa bint Asma bin Al-Salt Al-Sulamiyah, and her death before he consummated the marriage with her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Al-Hakim, Ibn Sa'd, and others narrated the account of the Prophet's marriage to Sana bint Asma bin As-Salt As-Sulamiyyah and her passing before consummation. However, these chains of narration are disconnected and very weak due to the weakness and unknown status of the narrators, and the discontinuity of the chain, as Hafs and Abd al-Qahir did not live during the era of prophethood or the Companions. Scholars have differed regarding her name and the reason for their separation, and nothing is authentically established in this regard through the chain of narration. Al-Dhahabi mentioned some of these narrations for the purpose of expressing astonishment, not for affirmation.
