Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is mentioned in the hadith of Fatimah bint Qays that she said: Mu'awiyah and Abu al-Jahm have proposed to me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: The questioner asks: Is this from the category of proposing over a proposal?
Answer:
No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the faults of the two men. He pointed out their faults to her because she consulted him, and the one who is consulted must clarify what he knows. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the faults of the two men to her, and then he ordered her to marry Usamah, Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him), the beloved of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). To love him is to love him. Yes.
