Question:
When Fatimah bint Qays asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about Mu'awiyah proposing to her, he said:. Does this not contradict the hadith: Sunan Ibn Majah 1967Da'if (Darussalam)?
Answer:

His lack of wealth might harm her, and as for Abu Jahm, he does not remove his stick from his shoulder, . The one who is consulted is a trustee; he advises with what he knows. This is not called backbiting, nor is it called deception.
