The Marriage of `Umar ibn al-Khattab with Umm Kulthum bint `Ali (Allah be well-pleased with them)
Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim by GF Haddad - Muharram 1425 The marriage of `Umar with Umm Kulthum al-Hashimiyya (6 - 49) the daughter of `Ali and Fatima took place on the year 17 of the Hijra. `Ali gave her away to `Umar upon his request although he was afraid at first that `Umar might not accept her due to her youth and because he wished her to marry one of her cousins among the sons of Ja`far ibn Abi Talib. But `Umar said, “Marry her to me for I swear I have toward her more dedication to excellent companionship than any man on the face of the earth.” `Umar gave her a dowry of 40,000 dirhams in honor of her lineage to the Messenger of Allah, upon him blessings and peace. He came to the Muhajirun among the Companions as they sat between the Grave and the Pulpit – their usual place for meeting `Umar to discuss news: “Felicitate this newlywed!” Then he told them he had married `Ali's daughter Umm Kulthum and said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say It is well-known that our liege-lord `Umar ibn al-Khattab (a) Ibn Sa`d narrated from al-Sha`bi and al-Hasan that al- `Abbas had some need of `Umar one day and said to him: "Commander of the Believers, suppose the uncle of Musa, upon him peace, came to you as a Muslim, how would you treat him?" He replied, "I swear by Allah that I would treat him well!" Al-`Abbas said, "Well, I am the uncle of Muhammad the Prophet (b) A man disparaged `Ali ibn Abi Talib in the presence of `Umar whereupon the latter said: "Do you know the dweller of this grave? He is Muhammad ibn `Abd Allah ibn `Abd al-Muttalib. And `Ali is the son of Abu Talib ibn `Abd al-Muttalib. Therefore, do not mention `Ali except in a good way for if you dislike him you will harm this one in his grave." Narrated by Ahmad with a good chain in Fada'il al-Sahaba (2:641 #1089). (c) After `Umar saw al-Husayn ibn `Ali ibn Abi Talib waiting at his door he said to him: "You are more deserving of permission to enter than [my son] `Abd Allah ibn `Umar! You see the goodness that was placed on our head; [therefore] first Allah then you [the Prophetic Household]" and he placed his hand on his head as he spoke. Narrated by Ibn Sa`d, Ibn Rahuyah, and al-Khatib. (d) `Umar distributed garments to the Companions but found nothing appropriate for al-Hasan and al-Husayn so he sent a message to Yemen and had a kiswa sent, which he offered them. Then he said, “Now I am content.” Narrated by Ibn al-Jawzi in Manaqib `Umar (p. 97). Umm Kulthum bore `Umar Zayd al-Akbar, known as Ibn al-Khalifatayn (= 'Son of the Two Caliphs' i.e. `Umar and `Ali) who became renowned for his great beauty, and a daughter, Ruqayya. After `Umar died she remarried, upon `Ali's order, with `Awn ibn Ja`far ibn Abi Talib. When `Awn died `Ali remarried her with `Awn's brother Muhammad ibn Ja`far. Ibn Sa`d and al-Daraqutni claim that when the latter also died young, she remarried with his brother `Abd Allah ibn Ja`far who was widowed of her sister Zaynab bint `Ali – an anachronism since Zaynab outlived Umm Kulthum and was present at Karbala – where her two sons from `Abd Allah, Muhammad and `Awn [both named after their uncles], were killed. Zayd al-Akbar died a young man, childless, from a stone throw in the time of Mu`awiya. Umm Kulthum died at the same time and Sa`id ibn al-`As ibn Sa`id or Ibn `Umar prayed over them, Allah have mercy on them.

Rather, as Sharh al-Mishkaat states (Dar al-Fikr ed. 10:476-477), she had been asked at an early time and the Prophet This is confirmed by the other version of the proposal of the Two Shaykhs of Islam - Allah be well-pleased with them - Abu Bakr and `Umar, in which the Prophet replies It also makes Hadrat Umar - Allah be well-pleased with him - the step- grandfather of Fatima whom he did ask in marriage and the Prophet The reason is, this sort of marriage is definitely allowed in Islam and this *is* proven from the Qur'an. Read again the verses defining who is mahram from who is not in Surat al-Nisa'! The above is a deceptive way of quoting because the sources only mention the date of the marriage as the year 17. They do not say Umm Kulthum was 5 or 4 that year nor anything about her date of birth. This is your own claim inserted as an historical premise, followed by your own conjecture. Besides, the "History of Abul-Fida" is by the king of Hama, Isma`il ibn `Ali ibn Mahmud (d. 732) and Nu`mani is a contemporary. Surely, they must have an earlier transmitted basis for whatever they supposedly say. However, they did not say anything other than the date of marriage as the year 17. Ibn Kathir's Tarikh states the year 16 for the marriage of `Umar with Umm Kulthum; so she was between 10 and 12 since her date of birth is mentioned by al-Dhahabi in Siyar A`lam al-Nubala' as around the 6th year after the Hijra. Allah knows best from where the claim that she "was 5 or 4" comes from. Among the Shi`i sources that narrate the fact of this marriage from Imam Muhammad al-Baqir with the statement "Umm Kulthum bint `Ali ibn Abi Talib died at the same time as her son Zayd ibn `Umar ibn al-Khattab" and the narration from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan that "`Umar ibn al-Khattab married Umm Kulthum bint `Ali `alayhi al-Salam with a dowry of 40,000 dirhams": 1- Agha Burzug al-Tahrani's al-Dhari`a (5:184). 2- `Ali ibn Muhammad al-`Alawi's al-Mujdi fi Ansab al-Talibiyyin (p. 17). 3- Al-Fadil al-Hindi's Kashf al-Litham (2:312). 4- Al-Hurr al-`Amili's Wasa'il al-Shi`a Al al-Bayt (15:19, 17:594, 21:263, 26:314). 5- Muhammad ibn Habib al-Baghdadi's al-Munammaq fi Akhbar Quraysh (p. 301). 6- Al-Muhaqqiq al-Ardabili's Majma` al-Fa'ida (11:530). 7- Al-Muhaqqiq al-Naraqi's Mustanad al-Shi`a (19:452). 8- Al-Muhaqqiq al-Sabzawari's Kifayat al-Ahkam (p. 307). 9- Al-Sayyid Muhammad Sadiq al-Rawhani's Fiqh al-Sadiq (24:496). 10-Al-Shahid al-Thani's Masalik al-Afham (13:270). 11-Al-Shaykh al-Amini's al-Ghadir (6:136-137). 12&13- Al-Shaykh al-Tusi's al-Mabsut (4:272) and Tahdhib al-Ahkam (9:362-363). 14-Al-Shaykh al-Jawahiri's Jawahir al-Kalam (39:308). Her father – Allah bless him and greet him. The above reference to al-Bukhari contains nothing about Umm Kulthum. Rather, al-Bukhari narrates in his Tarikh al-Saghir (1:102) - like everyone else - that Umm Kulthum had married `Umar. As for her date of birth is it is 6 Hijri as cited above. The Sunnis do not claim that she was 4 or 5 in the year 17 but 11 or 12. Not Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas but Sa`id ibn al-`As (2-59) and he was the imam as the (universally respected) governor of Madina who had dearly wished to marry Umm Kulthum but desisted when he learnt of al-Husayn's disapproval. It is also possible that he let Ibn `Umar be the imam. In the congregation there was also Abu Qatada (d. 54). This is agreed upon in BOTH the Sunni sources and the 14 Shi`i sources cited above. Some narrations in Ibn Sa`d, al-Bukhari, and al-Bayhaqi state that al-Hasan (d. 49) was part of the congregation, which brings the terminus ante quem for Umm Kulthum's death to 49. Or 49. ONLY SOME non-Sunni sources that stand out for their unreliability, such as Muruj al-Dahab by the Mu`tazili chronicler (akhbaari) al-Mas`udi (d. 345); Sharh al-Akhbar fi Fada'il al-A'immat al-At-har (3:198) by the ex-Maliki apostate (murtadd cf. Siyar, Fikr ed. 12:284), al-Qadi al-Nu`man ibn Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Maghribi (d. 363); Muthir al-Ahzan by Ibn Nama al-Hilli (d. 645); and Bihar al-Anwar by Muhammad Baqir al-Majlisi (d. 1111) among other similarly unscrupulous sources. However, that claim is not found in the 14 Shi`i sources cited earlier nor in the Sunni sources. The Siyar (Fikr ed. 4:418) among other Sunni sources only name the following Ahl al-Bayt women as present at Karbala' and taken prisoner: - Zaynab and Fatima the daughters of `Ali; Sukayna is the one that spoke the famous words to Yazid, "Have you taken prisoner the daughters of the Messenger of Allah??" which words are spuriously attributed to Umm Kulthum bint `Ali in some of the non-Sunni accounts such as al-Raghib al-Asfahani's Maqatil al-Talibiyyin (p. 79) and the above-cited sources. The only Umm Kulthum present in the whole episode of Karbala' was Yazid's own wife, Umm Kulthum bint `Abd Allah ibn `Amir. It is more likely that `Abd Allah ibn Ja`far (d. 80), unlike his two brothers `Awn and Muhammad [he also named his sons thus], was never married to Umm Kulthum (d. <49) at all but only to her sister zaynab (d. 61). The marriage of Zaynab to `Abd Allah ibn Ja`far is unquestioned. Incorrect: Zaynab was at Karbala' but Umm Kulthum had died before 49. This nonsense is definitely not in the latter two references nor even in the 14 Shi`i sources other than the few discrepant sources I've identified. Wrong. Ibn Qutayba said in al-Ma`arif (Beirut: Dar al-Kutub al-`Ilmiyya, 1987) p. 122: "THE DAUGHTERS OF `ALI IBN ABI TALIB: As for Zaynab the elder the daughter of Fatima, she was [married] with `Abd Allah ibn Ja`far and gave him children whom we already named. As for Umm Kulthum the elder, also the daughter of Fatima, she was [married] with `Umar ibn al-Khattab and gave him children we also already named. When `Umar was killed Muhammad ibn Ja`far ibn Abi Talib married her. He died before her then `Awn ibn Ja`far ibn Abi Talib married her and she died before him. The rest of `Ali's daughters were married off to the sons of `Aqil and the sons of al-`Abbas except Umm al-Hasan -- she was married to Ja`da ibn Hubayra al-Makhzumi -- and except Fatima -- she was married to Sa`id ibn al-Aswad of Banu al-Harith ibn Asad." The same Ibn Qutayba also says in the same book (p. 107): "THE CHILDREN OF `UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB FROM HIS BLOOD AND THEIR DESCENDENTS: .... also Fatima and Zayd, their mother being Umm Kulthum the daughter of `Ali ibn Abi Talib from his union with Fatima the daughter of the Messenger of Allah upon him blessings and peace. It is also said that Umm Kulthum's daughter from `Umar was named Ruqayya...." What was the age for Omar at the time of the marriage ? Approximately forty-seven. Umm Kulthum was between 10 and 12. Between 17 and 19. `Umar was fifty-four or five. 1. `Atika bint Zayd ibn `Amr al-`Adawiyya. There are so many that it is mutawatir (mass-transmitted) including from the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt such as Ja`far al-Sadiq, from his father. He is "thiqa thabt" (extremely trustworthy) according to al- Baghawi and al-Khatib while al-Daraqutni, al-Dhahabi, Ibn Hajar and others simply grade him thiqa, which is the highest grade of reliability. Two: a boy and a girl. The daughter of `Ali and Fatima, raghima anfuk. See the list I gave. .... Yes, and they assert that he married both.... According to al-Waqidi, yes. Definitely. The distinction is clear as day, they were two different persons. Move on. There were at least nine Companions named Umm Kulthum. Add the Umm Kulthums of Jahiliyya and those of the Tabi`in. The fact that it was a popular proper noun might be confusing to some. This fact is undoubted and irrelevant. Ditto. Actually, you gave no references to that effect but conjectured the age yourself, which we established was completely inaccurate. However, Umm Kulthum bint Abi Bakr al-Siddiq might well have been 3 or 4 at the time. Except that the same sources state that Umm Kulthum bint Abi Bakr *adamantly rejected* `Umar's proposal, after which `A'isha supposedly consulted `Amr ibn al-`As who supposedly dissuaded `Umar from pursuing the matter and supposedly persuaded him to ask for `Ali's daughter instead. However, the same sources all agree with the remainder of the sources to the fact that `Umar ibn al-Khattab married the daughter of `Ali and Fatima, Allah be well-pleased with all of them, as referenced above. Nor is there any contradiction between the two incidents supposing the proposal to Abu Bakr?s daughter actually took place and fell through. I have not seen this incoherent claim earlier than in the pages of al-Anwar al-`Alawiyya wal-Asrar al-Murtadawiyya (p. 436) by an ignoramus named al-Shaykh Ja`far al-Naqdi (d. 1370) who had the gall to introduce this fantasy with the words: "I say, I saw in a book whose title I do not remember at the moment, that of the Imams of guidance said, upon them peace....." A lie, no transmission chain, and no source -- Shi`ism in a nutshell. Rather, as all of the above Sunni and Shi`i sources already showed, there is no doubt that the wife of `Umar was Umm Kulthum the daughter of `Ali. In addition: When `Ali was struck down by Ibn Muljam, Umm Kulthum said: "Ma li wali- Salat al-ghadat, qutila zawji Amir al-mu'minin salata al-ghadah, wa-qutila abi Salata al-ghadah! - What does the morning prayer want with me? My husband the Commander of the believers was killed at the morning prayer and my father was killed at the morning prayer!" Narrated from al-Asbagh al-Hanzali by Ibn `Asakir in Tarikh Dimashq (42:555) cf. al-Dhahabi, Tarikh al-Islam (3:648-649) and Ibn Kathir, Bidaya (8:14). Perhaps it was another `Ali, another Ibn Muljam, another Umm Kulthum, another Commander of the believers? Like they come up with another Tabari, another Ibn Qutayba...... Yes, at the time `Ali himself had sent her to `Umar, and that report does state that he had dressed her up. `Abd al-Razzaq's version of the same report in his Musannaf (6:163 #10353) specifies that `Ali had previously told `Umar: "I shall send her to you and, if you agree, then she is your wife and I have married her to you." Narrated in al-Khatib's Tarikh Baghdad (6:182), entry on Ibrahim ibn Mihran ibn Rustum al-Marwazi, with a fair chain according to Dr. Khaldun al-Ahdab in his book Zawa'id Tarikh Baghdad (5:209-214 #901). Allah knows best. Hajj Gibril
One of the most preposterous notions put forth by the Shī`ī Ithnā’ `Asharī scholars and propagandists to deny the marriage of `Umar ibn al-Khaţţāb with Umm Kulthūm bint `Alī (ra) is that the married Umm Kulthūm was actually the step-daughter of `Alī from his marriage with Asmā’ bint Umays, the widow of Abū Bakr al-Şiddīq (ra). What is ignored in these centuries late biological discoveries of the Shī`a is the fact that the occurrences of such marriages are advanced to show the cordial relations between the Ahl al-Bayt and the Companions, not to prove their blood ties. Nevertheless, readers will now see how the inability to grasp this hard-to-digest marriage and impossibility of establishing the step-daughter notion with adequate evidence leads Shī`īpropagandists to misquoting and distorting both Sunnī and Shī`ī texts. The Answering-Ansar team, being one of the hailed Shī`ī propagandists of today, has promoted this same notion in ‘Nikah of Lady Umme Kulthum[sa].’ They write: Quoting Answering-Ansar: The existence of Umme Kalthum binte Abu Bakr's mother Asma binte Umais is proven from history We shall rely on an esteemed Shi'a text Anwar kul fi Shamsheerai Ma'sum page 311: "Umme Kalthum Hadi narrates: Umar proposed to marry Umme Kalthum binte 'Ali, he ['Ali] rejected the offer. Umar then asked for the hand of Umme Kalthum binte Abu Bakr (who was under 'Ali (as)'s guardianship), he replied that she was too young. Umar said, 'Send the girl to me'. 'Ali sent her on a pretext. Umar said 'Come here and grabbed the girl'. The girl shook free and ran to 'Ali and complained of Umar's behaviour. Umar then waited and eventually married Umme Kalthum binte Abu Bakr. The people began to say that Umar married Umme Kalthum binte 'Ali, and this became popular belief. She was the blood sister of Muhammad bin 'Abu Bakr". From this tradition we can see that Umme Kalthum binte Abu Bakr, sister of Muhammad bin Abu Bakr was under the guardianship of Imam 'Ali (as). When Umar died this was the Umme Kalthum that he brought home, as her father was dead and he (as) had married her mother following Abu Bakr's death. It is the fact that no other women had the same name Umme Kalthum that the advocates of Umar have sought to take advantage of. If the Nasibi are going to claim that Imam 'Ali (as)'s marriage to Abu Bakr's widow proves the cordial relations between these two Sahaba, we should point out that such a claim is baseless since Rasulullah (s) married widows whose husbands were kaffir. We already quoted the comments of Sunni research scholar Malik Daulath Abadi in "Hidayaath al Saud" page 359 we are now going to quote the same conclusion that was reached by Imam of Ahl'ul Sunnah al Muhaddith Shah Abdul Haq Delavi who after examining the matter states: "Asma binte Umais was initially the wife of Ja'far bin Tayyar then she married Abu Bakr from which relationship two children were born from this union a boy (called Muhammad) and a girl called Umme Kalthum. After that she married Hadhrath 'Ali Umme Kalthum came into his house. This is the Umme Kalthum daughter of Abu Bakr that Umar married. Ibn Hajr also pinpoints the marriage of the same Umme Kalthum in 17 Hijri. He writes in al Isaba page 323: Umme Kalthum binte Abu Bakr was still in her mother's womb when Abu Bakr died in 13 Hijri. Umar married the girl in 17 Hijri, at the time she was 4 / 5 years of age. All of the above Sunni texts concur that Abu Bakr had a daughter called Umme Kalthum. She was under the guardianship of Imam 'Ali (as), when Umar wanted to marry her Imam 'Ali (as) pointed out that she was very young. The very fact that prior to Nikah Umar embraced her and placed her on his knee clearly points to the fact that this was not Imam 'Ali (as)'s natural daughter, as she was too old to be placed on the elderly Umar's knee. Umme Kalthum was the stepdaughter of Imam 'Ali (as) - the fact she lived in the home of Imam 'Ali (as) led to a common view that she WAS the natural daughter of Imam 'Ali (as). Once Umar initiated his desire to marry her, the intervention of Ayesha meant that the matter was taken out of the hands of Imam 'Ali (as) as a result, this five year old girl had the honour of marrying Umar aged fifty five. The subchapter quoted above is based on three important proofs that are publicized by the Answering-Ansar team as verbatim quotes from Shī`ī and Sunnī texts. To a naive reader who seeks to know the truth, these quotes seem to furnish acceptable evidence in support of the notion that the Umm Kulthūm married to `Umar was the daughter of Abū Bakr (ra). However, when these quotes are individually verified, the matter turns out to be quite different: The very first quote mentioned by Answering-Ansar is from an “esteemed” Shī`ī Ithnā’ `Asharītext. Quoting Answering-Ansar: The existence of Umme Kalthum binte Abu Bakr's mother Asma binte Umais is proven from history We shall rely on an esteemed Shi'a text Anwar kul fi Shamsheerai Ma'sum page 311: "Umme Kalthum Hadi narrates: Umar proposed to marry Umme Kalthum binte 'Ali, he ['Ali] rejected the offer. Umar then asked for the hand of Umme Kalthum binte Abu Bakr (who was under 'Ali (as)'s guardianship), he replied that she was too young. Umar said, 'Send the girl to me'. 'Ali sent her on a pretext. Umar said 'Come here and grabbed the girl'. The girl shook free and ran to 'Ali and complained of Umar's behaviour. Umar then waited and eventually married Umme Kalthum binte Abu Bakr.

If the Nasibi are going to claim that Imam 'Ali (as)'s marriage to Abu Bakr's widow proves the cordial relations between these two Sahaba, we should point out that such a claim is baseless since Rasulullah (s) married widows whose husbands were kaffir. Readers should know is that the Shī`ī text absurdly quoted by the Answering-Ansar team as “Anwar kul fi Shamsheerai Ma'sum” is actually al-Anwār al-`Alawiyya wa al-Asrār al-Murtađawiyya of the Ithnā’ `Asharī scholar and poet, Ja`far ibn Muĥammad al-Naqdī (d. 1370). And what Ja`far al-Naqdī has actually stated in al-Anwār is: أقول ورأيت في بعض الكتب ولم أستحضر اسمه الآن ما معناه عن أحد أئمة الهدى ع أن عمر خطب أم كلثوم بنت علي ع فرده ثم خطب أم كلثوم بنت أبي بكر ربيبة علي ع فاعتل بصغرها فقال أرنيها فبعث بها أمير المؤمنين إلى عمر في حاجة له فاستدناها عمر وأراد أن يقبض على يدها فنفضت يدها منه وهربت إلى أمير المؤمنين ع وقالت يا أبا الحسن قد أذاني هذا الفاسق قال وصبر عليها حتى بلغت مبلغ التزويج فتزوجها وقال الناس تزوج بنت علي ع وأم كلثوم هذه أخت محمد بن أبي بكر لأمه وأبيه “I say: I saw in a book whose name I cannot remember at the moment, something of which the meaning is that it was related from one of theImāms of guidance (as) that `Umar asked for the hand of Umm Kulthūm, the daughter of the Commander of the Believers [`Alī ibn Abī Ţālib] (as), in marriage but the latter rejected his proposal. Then, he asked for the hand of Umm Kulthūm, the blood daughter of Abū Bakr and step-daughter of `Alī (as), and the latter made an excuse of her tender age. So he [i.e. `Umar] said: ‘Can you show her to me?’ and the Commander of the Believers (as) sent her to `Umar upon his request. Then, `Umar brought her close and tried to grab her hand, but she shook her hand off and ran to the Commander of the Believers (as) and said to him: ‘O Abū al-Ĥasan! This transgressor [fāsiq] has hurt me!’ `Umar then bore with patience and married her when she reached the age of marriage. Therefore, the people began to say: ‘He married the daughter of `Alī (as)!’ whereas this Umm Kulthūm was the sister of Muĥammad ibn Abī Bakr due to her parentage.” · al-Anwār al-`Alawiyya wa al-Asrār al-Murtađawiyya, of Ja`far al-Naqdī (d. 1370), page 436 [Najaf] Sunnī texts are commonly distorted by the Answering-Ansar team, but the quote above shows how their dishonesty does not even pardon Shī`ī texts. One can clearly see that al-Naqdī relates the abovementioned series of incident that he read in a forgotten book in his own words, but the Answering-Ansar team completely removes that part and adds “Umme Kalthum Hadi narrates” in
upon him blessings and peace: “Every lineage and means will be severed on the Day of Judgment except my lineage and my means.” I have kept company with him and wished to add this also.' Later he again said, on the pulpit: 'Do not disparage me [for marrying a young girl], for I heard the Prophet say upon him blessings and peace: “On the Judgment Day every means will be cut off and every lineage severed except my lineage.”
Allah be well-pleased with him, had a particular veneration for the Prophetic Household (Ahl al-Bayt) as illustrated by the following additional reports: - upon him and his House blessings and peace!" `Umar said, "Abu al-Fadl, and what do you suppose? By Allah, your father [`Abd al-Muttalib] is certainly dearer to me than my own father!" He said, "By Allah?" `Umar said, "By Allah, yes! Because I know that he [`Abd al-Muttalib] is dearer to the Messenger of Allah than my own father, therefore I prefer the love of the Messenger of Allah to my love." for his daughter, Lady Fatima[sa]'s hand the Prophet replied she is too young to marry. If this is correct then think rationally over the fact that, Umme Kulthum[sa] whose mother was too young to marry these people, marries these same personalities, does this make sense? waited, upon him blessings and peace, for specific heavenly revelation concerning Fatima, period. upon him and his Family and Companions blessings and peace: "The qada' [concerning this decision] has not been revealed yet.". This makes Hafsa the Step-mother of Hz Fatima and the Step-Grandmother of UmmeKalthum, the daughter of Ali and Fatima. Do you know what this means? It makes Umer the Step-Great Grandfather of UmmeKalthum. The sunnis claim the daughter of Ali married her Great Grandfather? Is such sort of marriage allowed in Islam, please prove from the Quran. upon him blessings and peace, did not reply "This is not allowed in Islam"!
