Hadith 2829
Musnad of 'Abdullah bin al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib from the Prophet
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned Khadeejah. Her father wanted to give her in marriage to him. So she made some food and drink, and she called her father and some men of Quraish, and they ate and drank until they got drunk. Then Khadeejah said to her father: Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah wants to marry me; give me in marriage to him. So he gave her in marriage to him. She put some perfume on him (her father) and dressed him in a hullah suit, because that is what they used to do for fathers. When he recovered from his intoxication, he looked and found himself wearing perfume and a hullah suit. He said: What happened to me? What is this? She said: You gave me in marriage to Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah. He said: I gave you in marriage to the orphan of Abu Talib?! No, never! Khadeejah said: Wouldn’t you feel ashamed to look like a fool in front of Quraish and tell the people that you were drunk? And she kept on at him until he gave in.
