Prophet Muhammad married her after the battle of Badr in 2 AH. Hafsa was around twenty years old and Prophet Muhammad fifty-six at the time of marriage [ [http://www.anwary-islam.com/women/pwife_hafsa.htm Prophet Wife HAFSA ] ] . By this marriage, Prophet Muhammad strengthened his ties to Umar, who now became his father-in-law.

According to Islamic tradition, Hafsa had memorized the Qur'an. The copy of Zayd ibn Thabit which was recorded by the instructions of Abu Bakr was given to Hafsa. Uthman, when he became a Caliph, used Hafsa's copy when he attempted to develop a definitive text of the Qur'an.

Sunnis believe that the reason why Abu Bakr and Uthman did not agree to marry Hafsa was that they knew Muhammad wanted to marry her.
