Narrated Samurah: The Prophet ﷺ said: Any woman who is married by two guardians (to two different men) belongs to the first woman who is married by two guardians (to two different men) belongs to the first of them and anything sold by a man to two persons belongs to the first of them.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ الْمَعْنَى،‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ زَوَّجَهَا وَلِيَّانِ فَهِيَ لِلْأَوَّلِ مِنْهُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ بَاعَ بَيْعًا مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ فَهُوَ لِلْأَوَّلِ مِنْهُمَا".

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: About the Quranic verse: "It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the woman (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them. When a man died, his relatives had more right to his wife then her own guardian. If any one of them wanted to marry her, he did so; or they married her (to some other person), and if they did not want to marry her, they did so. So this verse was revealed about the matter.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ وَذَكَرَهُ عَطَاءٌ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ السُّوَائِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا أَظُنُّهُ إِلَّا عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ:‏‏‏‏ لا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا وَلا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ سورة النساء آية 19، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا مَاتَ كَانَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ أَحَقَّ بِامْرَأَتِهِ مِنْ وَلِيِّ نَفْسِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنْ شَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ زَوَّجَهَا أَوْ زَوَّجُوهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ شَاءُوا لَمْ يُزَوِّجُوهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ".

Ibn Abbas explained the Quranic verse It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the woman (of your deceased kinsmen) nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them, unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness and said “This means that a man used to inherit a relative woman. He prevented her from marriage till she died or returned her dower to her. Hence, Allaah prohibited that practice.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْعِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "لا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا وَلا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوا بِبَعْضِ مَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ إِلا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ سورة النساء آية 19، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ يَرِثُ امْرَأَةَ ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ فَيَعْضُلُهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ تَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِ صَدَاقَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَحْكَمَ اللَّهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَنَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ".

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying “ A woman who has been previously married should not be married until her permission is asked nor should a virgin be married without her permission. “They (the people) asked “What is her permission, Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He replied “it is by her keeping silence. ”

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "لَا تُنْكَحُ الثَّيِّبُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا الْبِكْرُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهَا"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا إِذْنُهَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "أَنْ تَسْكُتَ".

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: An orphan virgin girl should be consulted about herself; if she says nothing that indicates her permission, but if she refuses, the authority of the guardian cannot be exercised against her will. The full information rest with the tradition narrated by Yazid. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted in a similar way by Abu Khalid Sulaiman bin Hayyan and Muadh bin Muadh on the authority of Muhammad bin Amr.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ الْمَعْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "تُسْتَأْمَرُ الْيَتِيمَةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ سَكَتَتْ فَهُوَ إِذْنُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ أَبَتْ فَلَا جَوَازَ عَلَيْهَا". وَالْإِخْبَارُ فِي حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ أَبُو خَالِدٍ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ومُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو.

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted through a different chain of narrators by Muhammad bin Amr. This version adds “If she weeps or keeps silence”. The narrator added the word “weeps”. Abu Dawud said: The word "weeps" is not guarded. This is a misunderstanding of the tradition on the part of the narrator Ibn Idris or Muhammad bin al-Ata. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by Abu Amr Dhakwan on the authority of Aishah who said: A virgin is ashamed of speaking, Messenger of Allah. He said: Her silence is her acceptance.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَادَ فِيهِ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "فَإِنْ بَكَتْ أَوْ سَكَتَتْ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَادَ:‏‏‏‏ بَكَتْ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَلَيْسَ بَكَتْ بِمَحْفُوظٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ وَهْمٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الْوَهْمُ مِنْ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ أَوْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَمْرٍو ذَكْوَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تَسْتَحِي أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "سُكَاتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا".

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet ﷺ said: Consult women about (the marriage of) their daughters.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي الثِّقَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "آمِرُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي بَنَاتِهِنَّ".

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A virgin came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that her father had married her against her will, so the Prophet ﷺ allowed her to exercise her choice.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏"أَنَّ جَارِيَةً بِكْرًا أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَتْ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا زَوَّجَهَا وَهِيَ كَارِهَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَيَّرَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ".

Ibn Abbas reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying “A woman without a husband has more right to her person than her guardian and a virgin’s permission must be asked, her permission being her silence. These are the words of Al Qanabi.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "الْأَيِّمُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْبِكْرُ تُسْتَأْذَنُ فِي نَفْسِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا". وَهَذَا لَفْظُ الْقَعْنَبِيِّ.

The above tradition has been transmitted by Abd Allaah bin Al Fadl through his chain of narrators and with different meaning. The version goes “A woman without a husband has more right to her person than her guardian and the father of a virgin should ask her permission about herself. ” Abu Dawud said “ The word “her father” is not guarded.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "الثَّيِّبُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْبِكْرُ يَسْتَأْمِرُهَا أَبُوهَا". قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ أَبُوهَا لَيْسَ بِمَحْفُوظٍ.
