Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ abominated the combination of paternal and maternal aunts and the combination of two maternal aunts and two paternal aunts in marriage.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا خَطَّابُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ"كَرِهَ أَنْ يُجْمَعَ بَيْنَ الْعَمَّةِ وَالْخَالَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبَيْنَ الْخَالَتَيْنِ وَالْعَمَّتَيْنِ".

Ibn Shihab said “Urwah bin Al Zubair asked Aishah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ about the Quranic verse “And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you. ” She said “O my nephew, this means the female orphan who is under the protection of her guardian and she holds a share in his property and her property and beauty attracts him; so her guardian intends to marry her without doing justice to her in respect of her dower and he gives her the same amount of dower as others give her. They (i. e., the guardians) were prohibited to marry them except that they do justice to them and pay them their maximum customary dower and they were asked to marry women other than them (i. e., the orphans) who seem good to them. Urwah reported that Aishah said “The people then consulted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about women after revelation of this verse. Thereupon Allaah the Exalted sent down the verse “They consult thee concerning women. Say Allaah giveth you decree concerning them and the scripture which hath been recited unto you (giveth decree) concerning female orphans unto whom you give not that which is ordained for them though you desire to marry them. “ She said “The mention made by Allaah about the Scripture recited to them refers to the former verse in which Allaah has said “And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you. ” Aishah said “The pronouncement of Allaah, the Exalted in the latter verse “though you desire to marry them” means the disinterest of one of you in marrying a female orphan who was under his protection, but she said little property and beauty. So they were prohibited to marry them for their interest in the property and beauty of the female orphans due to their disinterest in themselves except that they do justice )to them). The narrator Yunus said “Rabiah said explain the Quranic verse “And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans” means “Leave them if you fear (that you will not do justice to them), for I have made four women lawful for you. ”

Ali bin al-Hussain said that when they returned to Madeenah from Yazid bin Muawiyah the place of massacre of Al Hussain bin Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) Al Miswar bin Makhramah met them and said “tell me if you have any need for me. I said to him “No”. He then said Will you not give me the sword of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? I fear the people may not take it from you by force. (He said) By Allaah if you give it to me no one can take it from me so long as I am alive. Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allaah be pleased with him) asked for the hand of Abu Jahl’s daughter in marriage after the marriage with Fathima. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say while he was addressing the people about this matter on the pulpit and I was mature in those days. Fathima is from me and I am not afraid that she will be tried in respect of her religion. He then mentioned his other son-in-law who belonged to Banu Abd Shams. He admired him immensely for his relationship with him and extolled him well. He said “He talked to me and talked truly and he made promise with me and fulfilled it. I do not make lawful what Is unlawful and unlawful what is lawful. But, by Allaah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the daughter of the enemy of Allaah can never be combined together.

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Abi Mulaikah. He said “Ali (Allaah be pleased with him) then kept silence about the marriage (i. e., marrying Abi Jahl’s daughter)

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ و أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَكَتَ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ النِّكَاحِ.

Al Miswar bin Makramah said that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the pulpit Banu Hashim bin Al Mughirah sought permission from me to marry their daughter to Ali bin Abi Talib. But I do not permit, again, I do not permit, again, I do not permit except that Ibn Abi Talib divorces my daughter and marries their daughter. My daughter is my part, what makes her uneasy makes me uneasy and what troubles her troubles me. The full information rests with the tradition narrated by Ahmad.

Al Zuhri said “we were with Umar bin Abd Al Aziz, there we discussed temporary marriage. A man called Rabi bin Saburah said “I bear witness that my father told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had prohibited it at the Farewell Pilgrimage. ”

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَتَذَاكَرْنَا مُتْعَةَ النِّسَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ رَبِيعُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ".

Rabi bin Saburah reported on the authority of his father: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited temporary marriage with women.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ"حَرَّمَ مُتْعَةَ النِّسَاءِ".

Ibn Umar said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited shighar marriage. Musaddad added in his version “I said to Nafi “What is shighar?” (It means that) a man marries the daughter of another man and gives his own daughter to him in marriage without fixing dower; and a man marries the sister of another man and gives him his sister in marriage without fixing dower.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ"نَهَى عَنِ الشِّغَارِ". زَادَ مُسَدَّد فِي حَدِيثِهِ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ لِنَافِعٍ:‏‏‏‏ مَا الشِّغَارُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَنْكِحُ ابْنَةَ الرَّجُلِ وَيُنْكِحُهُ ابْنَتَهُ بِغَيْرِ صَدَاقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَنْكِحُ أُخْتَ الرَّجُلِ وَيُنْكِحُهُ أُخْتَهُ بِغَيْرِ صَدَاقٍ.

Abdur Rahman ibn Hurmuz al-Araj said: Al-Abbas ibn Abdullah ibn al-Abbas married his daughter to Abdur Rahman ibn al-Hakam, and Abdur Rahman married his daughter to him. And they made this (exchange) their dower. Muawiyah wrote to Marwan commanding him to separate them. He wrote in his letter: This is the shighar which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden.

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: (The narrator Ismail said: I think ash-Shabi attributed this tradition to the Prophet) The Prophet ﷺ said: Curse be upon the one who marries a divorced woman with the intention of making her lawful for her former husband and upon the one for whom she is made lawful.
