Gentlemen you need to calm down. You're getting personal and too carried away. This is not the sign of intelligent people.
I expect better from you and I know that you can deliver better. This is not about me being disturbed or rejecting anything.
It's not about virtues or merits. There was a post on a thread where it was said that Ali knew Usman was superior than him, above him. Why? Because he was married to two of the Prophet's (pbuh) daughters.
This is the statement I challenged. First of all superiority by such means only comes when the situation is the same, when the circumstances are equal.
Usman's first wife dies and the opportunity for him to marry to another daughter was available. But this opportunity was not available and present for Ali.
So there is no comparison here on such a basis. If such an opportunity was available and the circumstances did exist the, Ali was passed or overlooked the, one can consider this as a virtue and merit of Usman on the basis of superiority.
Otherwise you are just talking in the wind. You are trying to show connections and prove them as somekind of merit leading to superiority.
The Prophet (pbuh) married for various reasons and one of those reasons was to try and build a stable or make matters better with certain individuals because things weren't right and did go according to plan.Not because certain individuals were great and extraordinary.
Otherwise Abu Sufyan falls in to the same category as the Shaikhain and we all knew Abu Sufyan's stance and behaviour towards the Messenger (pbuh), Islam and the Muslims.
As for you question once again, why would the Prophet (pbuh) give his daughter to a good man like Usman when even better and greater individuals (Shaikhain) were available?
The Shaikhain did put a request forward for every daughter of the Prophet (pbuh) but were unfortunately turned down??? Why???
The excuse for the last daughter (Fatimah) is there (because they were already connected to the Prophet (pbuh)). But what about the request for the first three daughters???
Why were the Shaikhain overlooked each and every time?

All you gentlemen do is look for excuse rather than accepting or at least talking about reality and facts.
As far as Umar being married to Ali's daughter, I do not believe in this but I am not arrogant and stubborn as some that I don't leave room open and present for discussion.
Tell me when did Ali marry his daughter to Umar??? When did this marriage take place??? What were the exact ages of both Umar and Ali's daughter??? Who read the Nikkah?? And where did this marriage take place???
