Introduction
Hazrat Hafsara was the daughter of Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattabra and Hazrat Zainab bint Maz‘unra. Born several years before the first revelation from God, she was raised in a family renowned for its learning and education. Like her father, she was inquisitive, sharp-witted and a courageous woman who lived up to her name.
Family
As stated, she was the daughter of Hazrat Umarra, the second Khalifa of Islam. Hazrat Umarra earned the title of “Farooq”, meaning the one who distinguishes between right and wrong. Regarding Hazrat Umarra, the Holy Prophetsa said:
“If there were to be a prophet after me, it would be Umar.”(Tirmidhi, Vol. 1, book 46)
His son and Hafsa’sra brother, Hazrat Abdullah bin Umarra was also a close companion of the Holy Prophetsa. Salim narrates on the authority of his father a hadith in which Hazrat Hafsara relates one of her brothers’ dream to the Holy Prophetsa. The Messengersa of Allah commented:
“Abdullah is a good man. [I wish for him] to observe Tahajud more often.”
Upon hearing this, Hazrat Abdullahra became more observant of Tahajud prayer. (Sahih al-Bukhari)
A pious nature
The incident mentioned above is indicative of the atmosphere in which Hazrat Hafsara was raised. A devout Muslim herself, she grew up amidst the senior companions of the Holy Prophetsa and embodied their characteristics. She would often observe fasts and stay awake most of her nights offering Tahajud. Hence, it leaves little to question why she was chosen as one of the wives of the Prophet of Islamsa in this life and the Hereafter. The archangel Gabrielas attested to her traits before her husband:
“She fasts often and frequently prays at night; she will be your wife in Paradise” (Mustadrak al-Hakim)
Marriage to the Holy Prophetsa
Hazrat Hafsara was first married to Hazrat Khunais bin Huzaifara who, owing to the atrocities of the Quraish, had migrated both to Abyssinia and Medina to seek God’s pleasure. At the Battle of Badr, he was severely wounded and later succumbed to his injuries.
The account of her marriage to the Holy Prophetsa is rather amusing, which Hazrat Umarra narrates in the following words:
“When Hafsa bint Umar lost her husband, a companion of the Holy Prophetsa, Khunais bin Huzaifa al-Sahmi, who had fought at Badr and [later] died in Medina, I met Uthman bin Affan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa, to which he replied, ‘I will think it over.’ I waited for a few days and then he said to me, ‘I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.’ Then I met Abu Bakr and said, ‘If you wish, I can marry Hafsa bint Umar to you.’ He kept quiet and did not respond. I became agitated and it [displeased me] more than Uthman’s [response]. Some days later, the Prophetsa asked for her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later, Abu Bakr approached me and said, ‘Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no reply to you?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ Abu Bakr replied, ‘Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except that I learnt that the Prophet of Allah had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose his secret, but had he (the Prophetsa) not married her, I would surely have accepted her.”(Sahih al-Bukhari)
Another hadith relates that when Hazrat Umarra disclosed his predicament to the Holy Prophetsa and he received a response from both the companions, the Messenger of Allahas smiled and consoled him that Hafsara would get a better husband and Uthmanra would receive a better wife.
