Re: What was the family relationship between Hazrat Umar and Hazrat ali ?

Hey, if it’s written down, must be sahih :smiley:

Asad al Ghaybah Volume 5 page 367:
“Abu Umar narrates on the authority of Zubayr Bakri, 'Umar asked for the hand of Ali’s daughter, who replied that she was too young. 'Umar asked twice more. 'Ali said ‘I shall send the girl to you, if you like her than say ‘I accept’’. 'Ali then sent the girl with a cloth and told her to say [to 'Umar] ‘This is the scarf that I was talking about’. She conveyed these words to 'Umar, who said ‘Tell your father that I accept’. Umar then touched the girl’s calf. She exclaimed ‘You have done this to me? If it hadn’t been for the fact that you are Khalifa of the Muslims I would have broken your nose’. The girl went home and repeated the episode to her father, stating ‘You sent me to a foul man’, with that 'Ali said ‘He is your husband’.”
