that al-Mustazall ibn Ḥuṣayn reported that ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb proposed to ʿAlī for his daughter, but he excused himself by saying she was too young. He said, "I have prepared her for my nephew Jaʿfar." ʿUmar replied, "By Allāh, I did not intend marriage with her; I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say," and he mentioned it. It was recorded by al-Ḍiyāʾ al-Maqdisī in "al-Mukhtārah" (no. 266 - in my verification) through the route of Sharīk from Shabīb ibn Abī Gharqadah from al-Mustazall. Sharīk has poor memory, but he is truthful and used as evidence. 3 - As for the ḥadīth of al-Miswar ibn Makhramah, it was narrated by Aḥmad (4/323), al-Ṭabarānī, and al-Bayhaqī through the route of Umm Bakr bint al-Miswar ibn Makhramah from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī Rāfiʿ from him as marfūʿ. Al-Haythamī said in "Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid" (9/203): "In it is Umm Bakr bint al-Miswar, and no one criticized her nor authenticated her, but the rest of its narrators are trustworthy." 4 - As for the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar, it is in the wording: "Every lineage and marriage connection will be severed on the Day of Resurrection except my lineage and marriage connection." It was recorded by Ibn ʿAsākir (19/60/2) from Sulaymān ibn ʿUmar ibn al-Aqṭaʿ: "Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd al-Salām informed us from Ibrāhīm ibn Yazīd from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbbād ibn Jaʿfar who said: I heard Ibn ʿUmar say: marfūʿ." I say: This isnād is very weak, and it has defects: the first: Ibrāhīm ibn Yazīd - who is al-Khūzī al-Makkī - is abandoned. The second: Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd al-Salām - who is al-Makhzūmī al-Makkī - is weak. The third: Sulaymān ibn ʿUmar al-Aqṭaʿ was written about by Abū Ḥātim, and he did not mention any criticism or commendation about him (2/1/131), so he is of unknown status. In summary, the ḥadīth, with all these routes, is authentic. And Allāh knows best.
