حدثنا عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن الدارمي، أخبرنا أبو اليمان، أخبرنا شعيب، عن  الزهري، أخبرني علي بن حسين، أن المسور بن مخرمة، أخبره أن علي بن أبي طالب خطب بنت أبي جهل وعنده فاطمة بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما سمعت بذلك فاطمة أتت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالت له إن قومك يتحدثون أنك لا تغضب لبناتك وهذا علي ناكحا ابنة أبي جهل ‏.‏ قال المسور فقام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسمعته حين تشهد ثم قال ‏"‏ أما بعد فإني أنكحت أبا العاص بن الربيع فحدثني فصدقني وإن فاطمة بنت محمد مضغة مني وإنما أكره أن يفتنوها وإنها والله لا تجتمع بنت رسول الله وبنت عدو الله عند رجل واحد أبدا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال فترك علي الخطبة ‏.‏
 'Ali b. Husain reported that Miswar b. Makhramah informed him that 'Ali b. Abi Talib sent the proposal of marriage to the daughter of Abu Jahl as he had Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), (as his wife). When Fatima heard about it, she came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said:                      The people say that you never feel angry on account of your daughters and now 'Ali is going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl. Makhramah said: Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) rose up and I heard him reciting Tashahhud and say: Now to the point. I gave a daughter of mine (Zainab) to Abu'l-'As b. Rabi, and he spoke to me and spoke the truth. Verily Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, is a part of me and I do not approve that she may be put to any trial and by Allah, the daughter of Allah's Messenger cannot be combined with the daughter of God's enemy (as the co-wives) of one person. Thereupon 'Ali gave up (the idea of his intended) marriage. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters.
