He (Umar) replied saying...

He (Umar) replied saying, I proposed marriage before the son of your brother -asws for his daughter but he -asws rejected my proposal. I swear by Allah -azwj , I will shut down Zamzam, leave no honour for you without being destroyed: I will prove him -asws guilty of theft through two witnesses and cut-off his -asws right hand. So Al-Abbas came to him -asws and told him -asws and asked him -asws to make the matter to him (Al-Abbas), and he -asws made it to him (for calming Umar down).

[2] Note: Here there is no proof that this marriage ever occurred. يف، الطرائف أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ فِي مُسْنَدِهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى الْمُسْتَظِلِ‏ قَالَ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ فَاعْتَلَّ بِصِغَرِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ لَمْ أَكُنْ أُرِيدُ الْبَاهَ وَ لَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ كُلُّ حَسَبٍ وَ نَسَبٍ مُنْقَطِعٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا خَلَا حَسَبِي وَ نَسَبِي وَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ فَإِنَّ عَصَبَتَهُمْ لِأَبِيهِمْ مَا خَلَا وُلْدَ فَاطِمَةَ فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَبُوهُمْ وَ عَصَبَتُهُمْ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Taraif’ – Ahmad Bin Hanbal in his (book) ‘Musnad’, by his chain to Al Mustazil who said, ‘Umar Bin Al-Khattab proposed to Ali -asws for Umm Kulsoom -asws , so he -asws excused with her ‑asws being too young.

He -asws said to him: ‘I -asws did not want the marriage, but I -asws heard Rasool-Allah -saww saying ‘Every affiliation and lineage would be terminated on the Day of Qiyamah apart from my -saww affiliation and my -saww lineage, and every people, their bond is to their fathers apart from the children of (Syeda) Fatima -asws , for surely, I -asws am their father ‑asws and their bond’’.
