Ok brothers and sisters and a special note to my dear brother Imam Ali. this is the 4th reply on the first page of this thread. take a look at what brother Hadrami said,
"Re: Hassan (RA) & Hussain (RA) got slapped by their father

this is one of the reason why i admire him so much. The only man whom Rasulullah shallallahu alaihi wasallam considered good enough to marry 2, not just 1 of his noble daughters. The only leader of a superpower nation in history who would rather die than having someone else fight for him. It is insane not to at least recognise that instead of cursing him RA.
Note the words at the beginning,
"The ONLY MAN that Rasulullah considered GOOD ENOUGH",
Yes, the only one who was considered good enough and not by my brothers but by the Prophet (pbuh) himself. This very clearly puts Usman above everyone, forget about the Shaikhain. So this man (Usman) should be number one and not number three, brother Imam Ali.
Later on you (bro Imam Ali) claimed that Ali knew Usman was superior than him and the reason you gave, you very well know. So why did you deny what you clearly said??? Or was it a slip of the memory???
Now the answer to your question again,
The Prophet (pbuh) married not one but two of his daughters to this man (Usman). Why??? Not because he was a good man but because he was better and more worthy than the Shaikhain. Do you agree to what you said and believe in??? Or are we going to come up with some other lame excuse???
And this is why the Shaikhain got turned down every time they put a request forward. Forget about Fatimah because brothers use an excuse that the Prophet (pbuh) refused to give Fatimah's hand to either of the Shaikhain because they were already connected to the Prophet (pbuh), through marrying their own daughters.
But what about the Shaikhain requesting to marry other daughters of the Prophet (pbuh)
Why were they turned down then??? Did they have a connection with the Prophet (pbuh) then??? They were turned down because they were not good enough men, but Usman was more better and worthy. More superior. Would you agree my dear brothers???
Note for the audience, when Sakeefa took place and those people who opposed Sakeefa and refused to accept Abu Bakar as the first Khalif and give him Baya, Usman was one of them. He also was at the residence of Ali and amongst the opposite group when threats were made to curb this group in.
This is something off topic and my apologies for this but just a side note. Something that I have been informed about but will look in to it ASAP. There was quite a bit of resentment between the companions themselves, for a number of reasons.
