Year of birth

According to this page, Hafsa bint Umar was born five years before the appearance of Muhammad as a prophet in 610. That means she was born around the year 605. —MK (talk) 09:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to Al-Tabri (vol. 39 p. 174): "Hafsah was born while the Quraysh were building the Ka'bah, five years before the Prophet was sent on his divine mission." This would have been the year that began on 30 January 605 and ended on 19 January 606 (Gregorian), i.e. 18 B.H.Petra MacDonald 01:40, 20 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petra MacDonald (talk • contribs)

Date of Marriage

The article states that she married Muhammad after the Battle of Badr in 2 AH. However the article on Hafsa's former husband, Khunais ibn Hudhaifa, claims he died of his wounds after the Battle of Uhud (3 AH), after which she married Muhammad. It looks like this article needs a bit of clarification. Cybjorg (talk) 19:45, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds to me as if someone has confused Hafsa with Hind (Umm Salama), another wife of Muhammad. Hafsa's husband died in 624 of battle wounds incurred at Badr. Hind's husband died in 625 of battle wounds incurred at Uhud. Hafsa married Muhammad before Uhud, so any suggestion that Khunays lived long enough to fight at Uhud is not correct. Ibn Saad gives all these details in multiple narrations, and there is no internal inconsistency whatsoever.Petra MacDonald 12:30, 19 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petra MacDonald (talk • contribs)

Okay, I've checked. The statement that Khunays fought at Uhud was sourced to a dead link that appeared to have been a Muslim hagiography when it was alive. So I have removed this information and replaced it with the references to Khunays's death found in Ibn Saad.Petra MacDonald 02:36, 5 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petra MacDonald (talk • contribs)

Divorce

According to Ibn Abas and other Muslim scholars prophet Muhammad divorced Hafas but then he returned her. Why isn't this in the article? --SharabSalam (talk) 23:57, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Simply bcz no one wrote it in with a reliable source/citation which's required Ishan87 (talk) 17:24, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
