it was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" (1/175) from Abū Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Maryam from ʿAṭiyyah ibn Qays al-Kalāʿī who said: Muʿāwiyah ibn Abī Sufyān proposed to Umm al-Dardāʾ after the death of Abū al-Dardāʾ, and Umm al-Dardāʾ said: I heard Abū al-Dardāʾ say: I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say: and he mentioned it. She said: And I would not choose anyone over Abū al-Dardāʾ, so Muʿāwiyah wrote to her: Then adhere to fasting, for it is a deterrent. I say: This isnād is weak due to Abū Bakr ibn Abī Maryam, who became confused, and al-Haythamī (4/270) criticized it for this reason, but he also attributed it to "al-Kabīr." From this perspective, it was also narrated by Abū Bakr al-Kalābādhī in "Miftāḥ al-Maʿānī" (Q 181/2) and Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (19/281/2). In summary, the ḥadīth is strong when considering both chains, and the marfūʿ part of it is authentic. It has other marfūʿ and mawqūf chains with Ibn ʿAsākir (19/281/2) from Abū al-Dardāʾ. It has two mawqūf supporting narrations. The first: from Abū Bakr (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), narrated by Ibn ʿAsākir (19/193/1) through the chain of Kathīr ibn Hishām from ʿAbd al-Karīm from ʿIkrimah. "That Asmāʾ bint Abī Bakr was married to al-Zubayr ibn al-ʿAwwām, and he was harsh with her, so she went to her father and complained to him. He said: O my daughter, be patient, for if a woman has a righteous husband, and then he dies and she does not remarry after him, they will be reunited in Paradise." Its narrators are trustworthy, but it contains a disconnection because ʿIkrimah did not meet Abū Bakr, unless he received it from Asmāʾ bint Abī Bakr. And Allāh knows best. The other: from ʿĪsá ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī from Abū Isḥāq from Ṣilah from Ḥudhayfah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) that he said to his wife: "If you wish to be my wife in Paradise, do not remarry after me, for in Paradise, a woman belongs to her last husband in the world. For this reason, Allāh forbade the wives of the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) from marrying after him because they are his wives in Paradise."
