«لَا تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ وَلِيِّهَا فَإِنْ نُكِحَتْ فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهَا فَلَهَا مَهْرُهَا بِمَا أَصَابَ مِنْهَا فَإِنِ اشْتَجَرُوا فَالسُّلْطَانُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ»
✧ A woman is not to be married without the permission of her guardian; if she is married, then her marriage is invalid — three times — and if he has consummated with her, then she is entitled to her dowry for what he has had of her; and if they dispute, then the ruler is the guardian of the one who has no guardian.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “There is no marriage except with a guardian.” All these chains of transmission are authentic, and we have a high chain through Isra'il. The leading earlier imams, who in their narrations descend through Isra'il, such as 'Abd al-Rahman b. Mahdi, Waki', Yahya b. Adam, Yahya b. Zakariyya b. Abi Za'idah, and others, have connected it, and they have ruled this hadith to be authentic. I heard Abu Nasr Ahmad b. Sahl al-Faqih in Bukhara say: I heard Salih b. Muhammad b. Habib al-Hafiz say: I heard 'Ali b. 'Abd Allah al-Madini say: I heard 'Abd al-Rahman b. Mahdi say: “Isra'il used to memorize the hadith of Abu Ishaq as he memorized the Surah al-Hamd.” I heard Abu al-Hasan b. Mansur say: I heard Abu Bakr Muhammad b. Ishaq say: I heard Abu Musa say: “'Abd al-Rahman b. Mahdi used to affirm the hadith of Isra'il from Abu Ishaq, meaning regarding marriage without a guardian.” Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah al-Shaybani narrated to me: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. al-Hasan narrated to us: Hatim b. Yunus al-Jurjani narrated to us: He said: I said to Abu al-Walid al-Tayalisi: What do you say about marriage without a guardian? He said: “It is not permissible.” I said: What is the proof for that? He said: Qays b. al-Rabi' narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from his father. I said: But al-Thawri and Shu'bah narrate it as mursal. He said: Isra'il has followed Qays. Muhammad b. Salih b. Hani' narrated to me: Muhammad b. al-Mundhir b. Sa'id narrated to us: Ishaq b. Ibrahim b. Jabalah narrated to us: I heard 'Ali b. al-Madini say: The hadith of Isra'il is authentic regarding “There is no marriage except with a guardian.” I heard Abu al-Hasan b. Mansur say: I heard Abu Bakr Muhammad b. Ishaq al-Imam say: I asked Muhammad b. Yahya about this chapter, and he said: The hadith of Isra'il is authentic according to me. I said to him: Sharik also narrated it. He said: Who narrated it? I said: 'Ali b. Hujr narrated it to us, and I mentioned to him the hadith of Yunus from Abu Ishaq, and I said to him: Shu'bah and al-Thawri narrated it from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Burdah, from the Prophet ﷺ. He said: Yes, “They narrated it like that, but they used to narrate the hadith and send it as mursal until it was said to them: From whom? Then they would give its chain.” I heard Abu al-Hasan Ahmad b. Muhammad al-'Anazi say: I heard 'Uthman b. Sa'id al-Darimi say: I said to Yahya b. Ma'in: Is Yunus b. Abi Ishaq dearer to you, or his son Isra'il b. Yunus? He said: “Both are trustworthy.” Sahih.

✧ I used to serve the Prophet ﷺ, then the Prophet ﷺ said to me, "O Rabi'ah! Why don't you get married?" I replied, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I don't want to get married. I don't have enough to provide for a wife, and I don't want anything to distract me from you." Then he turned away from me. After that, he asked me again, "O Rabi'ah! Why don't you get married?" I replied, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I don't want to get married. I don't have enough to provide for a wife, and I don't want anything to distract me from you." He turned away from me again. Then I revisited myself and said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, you know what is best for me in this life and the hereafter." He said, "And I say to myself, if he asks me for the third time, I will say yes." Then he asked me for the third time, "O Rabi'ah! Why don't you get married?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, do whatever you think is best for me or whatever you like." He said, "Go to the family of so and so in such and such place among the Ansar. Tell them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sends his greetings to you and orders you to marry Rabi'ah the daughter of so and so." So I went to them and conveyed the message. They said, "Welcome to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. By Allah, the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ does not ask us for something without a reason." They honored me, married me to her, treated me kindly, and did not ask for any proof. I returned feeling sad, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, "What's wrong?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I went to a noble people, they honored and treated me kindly, and did not ask for any proof. But where will I get the dowry?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Buraidah Al-Aslami, "O Buraidah, collect the weight of a date seed in gold for him." So they collected the weight of a date seed in gold for me. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Take it to them and say, 'This is her dowry.'" So I took it to them and said, "This is her dowry." They said, "It's a lot, but we accept it." Then I asked, "Where should I stay?" They said, "O Buraidah, give him a sheep." So they gave me a fat sheep. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go to Aishah and tell her to look at the dough in which the food is baked and send it to us." So I went to Aishah, told her about it, and she said, "Here it is, the dough in which the food is baked. By Allah, we don't have any other food in the morning." So I took it and the sheep to the Prophet ﷺ. They accepted the food and said, "You keep the sheep." Then some Muslims came, slaughtered, skinned, and cooked it. So we had bread and meat in the morning. I felt content and prayed for the blessings of the Muslims.

✧ From al-Hasan regarding the saying of Allah ﷻ {So do not prevent them from remarrying their husbands} [al-Baqarah 232], he said: Ma'qil b. Yasar al-Muzani narrated to me that it was revealed concerning him. He said: I had married a sister of mine to a man, and he divorced her until when her waiting period ended, he came to propose to her. I said to him: I married you, prepared a bed for you, honored you, then you divorced her, and now you come to propose to her? No, by Allah, she will never return to you. He said: He was a man with no fault in him, and the woman wanted to return to him. He said: So Allah revealed this verse, and I said: “Now I will do it, O Messenger of Allah,” and I married her to him. Abu Bakr Muhammad b. Ishaq said: “In this hadith there is clear evidence that Allah ﷻ placed the marriage contract in the hands of the guardians, not in their hands, and that women, even if they are previously married, have no role in the contract.”

✧ Verily, do not go to excess in the dowers of women, for if it were a mark of honor in this world or piety before Allah, then the most deserving of it and the most entitled to it among you would be Muhammad ﷺ. He did not give as dower to any woman among his wives more than twelve uqiyyahs. And indeed one of you goes to excess in the dower of his wife until there is enmity in his heart against her, and he says, 'I have been burdened for you with the sweat of the water-skin.'

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تُغَالُوا مَهْرَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ أَحَقَّ بِهَا وَلَا أَوْلَى مِنَ «النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا أَمْهَرَ أَحَدًا مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَلَا أَصْدَقَ أَحَدًا مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَالْأُوقِيَّةُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا فَذَلِكَ ثَمَانُونَ وَأَرْبَعُ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَذَلِكَ أَغْلَى مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْهَرَ فَلَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا زَادَ عَلَى أَرْبَعِ مِائَةٍ دِرْهَمٍ» وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي وَجْهٍ صَحِيحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ
✧ That 'Umar ibn al-Khattab addressed the people and said: O people, do not go to excess in the dowers of women, for if it were a mark of honor, none of you would be more entitled to it or more deserving than the Prophet ﷺ. He did not give as dower to any of his wives, nor did he give as dower for any of his daughters, more than twelve uqiyyahs. And the uqiyyah is forty dirhams, so that is four hundred and eighty dirhams. And that is the most the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ever gave as dower. So I do not know of anyone who exceeded four hundred dirhams. And it has been narrated in a sound manner from 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas from 'Umar.

✧ That 'Umar ibn al-Khattab stood on his pulpit, praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: Verily, do not go to excess in the dowers of women, for if it were a mark of honor in this world or piety before Allah, the most deserving of it among you would be your Prophet ﷺ. No woman among his wives or daughters was given more than twelve uqiyyahs, and that is four hundred and eighty dirhams; the uqiyyah is forty dirhams. The sound chains have become mutawatir for the authenticity of the sermon of the Commander of the Faithful 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and this chapter I have compiled in a large volume, but they did not include it.

✧ That a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have married a woman from the Ansar for eight uqiyyahs. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was startled by that and said: "It is as if you are carving silver from the side of this mountain. Have you seen her? For in the eyes of the Ansar there is something." He said: I have seen her. He said: "We have nothing, but we will send you on an expedition, and I hope you will obtain good." So he sent him with a group of people to some people of Banu 'Abs, and the Prophet ﷺ ordered for them a she-camel. They loaded their belongings on it, and it had not gone but a little when it knelt down and was too exhausted to get up. There was no one among the people younger than the one who had married. He came to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ while he was lying on his back in the mosque, and he stood by his head, disliking to wake him. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ woke up and said: O Prophet of Allah, the one you gave us – we would like you to rouse it. The Prophet ﷺ extended his right hand to him, took his cloak with his left hand, placed it on his shoulder, and went walking until he came to it. He struck it with the sole of his foot, and by the One in Whose hand is the soul of Abu Hurayrah, after that it would outstrip the leader. Then they camped in the presence of the enemy, and the enemy had lit fires, and they surrounded them, then they dispersed upon them and said the takbir with the takbir of one man, and Allah routed them and took captives from them.

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَسْتَعِينُهُ فِي مَهْرِ امْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَ «كَمْ أَمْهَرْتَهَا؟» فَقَالَ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَغْرِفُونَ مِنْ بُطْحَانَ مَا زِدْتُمْ»
✧ He came to the Prophet ﷺ seeking his assistance in obtaining the dowry for a woman. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "How much did you marry her for?" He replied, "Two hundred dirhams." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "If you were to scoop from the ocean, you would not increase."

✧ Whoever is afflicted by a calamity should say: 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we return. O Allah, with You I seek reward for my calamity, so reward me in it and give me something better in exchange.' When Abu Salamah died, I said it, and every time I reached 'give me something better in exchange,' I said to myself, 'Who is better than Abu Salamah?' Then I completed it. When her waiting period ended, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Umar b. al-Khattab to propose to her on his behalf. She said to her son, 'O Umar, get up and marry the Messenger of Allah ﷺ [to me],' so he married her. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to her to consummate the marriage, but when she saw him she would take her daughter Zaynab and place her in her lap, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would leave. Ammar b. Yasir, who was her foster brother, learned of this, so he came to her and said, 'Where is this ugly, repulsive one who has annoyed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He took her and went away. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, entered upon her, and looked around the corners of the house, saying, 'What happened to Zunab?' She said, 'Ammar came and took her away.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ consummated the marriage, and said, 'I shall not reduce anything for you from what I gave to so-and-so: two hand mills, two jars, and a cushion stuffed with palm fiber.' And he said, 'If I grant you seven nights, I would have to grant my wives seven nights too.'

✧ Abu Talhah proposed to Umm Sulaym, and she said, 'O Abu Talhah, do you not know that the god you worship is a piece of wood that grew from the earth, carved by an Abyssinian slave of Banu so-and-so? If you become Muslim, I will ask no other dowry from you.' He said, 'Let me consider my affair.' He went away, then came back and said, 'I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' She said, 'O Anas, marry Abu Talhah.'

✧ Some people came to Abdullah b. Masud and said to him, 'A man among us married a woman but did not assign her a dowry and did not consummate the marriage, and then he died.' Abdullah said to them, 'I have not been asked about anything since I parted from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that is harder on me than this. Ask someone else.' They kept coming back to him about it for a month. Finally they said to him, 'Whom shall we ask if we do not ask you? You are among the companions of Muhammad ﷺ in this land, and we find no one else.' He said, 'I will state my own judgment in this matter, with all my effort. If it is correct, it is from Allah alone, with no partner; if it is wrong, it is from me, and Allah and His Messenger are free of it.' [He said,] 'I hold that she should be given a dowry like that of her peers, with no reduction or excess; she has the inheritance, and upon her is the waiting period of four months and ten days.' He said, 'Some people from Ashja' heard that, and they stood up and said, 'We bear witness that you have judged as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ judged in the case of a woman of ours called Birwa' bt. Washiq.' Abdullah was never seen so overjoyed at anything as he was that day, except for his acceptance of Islam. Then he said, 'O Allah, if it is correct, it is from You alone, with no partner; if it is wrong, it is from me and from Satan, and Allah and His Messenger are free of it.'

فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَمَاتَ وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا وَلَمْ يَفْرِضِ لَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا الصَّدَاقُ كَامِلًا وَعَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ وَلَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ فَقَامَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ فَقَالَ «شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِهِ فِي بِرْوَعَ بِنْتِ وَاشِقٍ فَصَارَ الْحَدِيثُ صَحِيحًا عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ على شرط البخاري ومسلم
✧ Concerning a man who married a woman and then died without having consummated the marriage or assigned her a dowry, he [Ibn Masud] ruled that she receives the full dowry, the waiting period is upon her, and she inherits. Then Ma'qil b. Sinan stood up and said, 'I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ judge likewise in the case of Birwa' bt. Washiq.' Thus the hadith became authentic according to the conditions of the two Shaykhs, according to the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim.

✧ The Prophet ﷺ said to a man, 'Would you like me to marry you to so-and-so?' He said, 'Yes.' And he said to the woman, 'Would you like me to marry you to so-and-so?' She said, 'Yes.' So he married one of them to the other. He did not assign her a dowry, nor give her anything. The man was among those who attended al-Hudaybiyah, and whoever attended al-Hudaybiyah had a share in Khaybar. When death approached him, he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married me to so-and-so, and I did not assign her a dowry or give her anything. I call upon you to witness that I give her my share in Khaybar as her dowry.' So she took the share and sold it for one hundred thousand. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The best dowry is the easiest one.'

When the gift was returned to him, he gave each of his wives an ounce of that musk, gave the rest to Umm Salamah, and gave her the garment.

The Prophet ﷺ said to her: «Obey your father.» She said: By the One who sent you with the truth, I will not marry until you tell me what the right of the husband over his wife is. He said: The right of the husband over his wife is that if he had a wound and she licked it, she would not have fulfilled his right.

✧ A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, I am so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so. He said: «I know you; what is your need?» She said: My need concerns my cousin, so-and-so the devout worshipper. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «I know him.» She said: He has proposed to me. Tell me what the right of the husband over the wife is, for if it is something I can bear, I will marry him, and if I cannot bear it, I will not marry. He said: Part of the right of the husband over the wife is that if his nostrils flowed with blood, pus, and ichor, and she licked it with her tongue, she would not have fulfilled his right. If it were proper for a human being to prostrate to a human being, I would command the woman to prostrate to her husband when he enters upon her because of the excellence Allah has given him over her. She said: By the One who sent you with the truth, I will not marry as long as I remain in this world.

A woman who was not among the elite women asked, "Why are we the majority of the inhabitants of Hell, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Because you curse frequently and show ingratitude towards your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religious commitment than you. A wise man could be led astray by some of you." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the deficiency in our intelligence and religious commitment?"

The evidence for this is that those who connected it from him among the people of Basra also sent it. Yet connection is preferable to transmission, for the addition of a trustworthy narrator is accepted, and Allah knows best.

✧ Ibn 'Umar, may Allah forgive him, made a mistake. This tribe of the Ansar, who were idolaters, lived alongside this tribe of the Jews, who were People of the Book. They considered the Jews to have superiority over them, so they imitated many of their practices. Among the practices of the People of the Book was that they did not approach women except in one position, which was the most concealing for the woman. This tribe of the Ansar adopted that from them. Meanwhile, this tribe of Quraysh used to spread women in a detestable manner, deriving pleasure from them facing forward and backward and lying on their backs. When the Emigrants came to Madinah, a man among them married a woman from the Ansar and went to do with her as he was accustomed. She objected and said, 'We are only approached in one position, so do that, otherwise stay away from me.' Their matter became widely known and reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then Allah, Blessed and Exalted, revealed: {Your wives are a tilth for you, so come to your tilth as you will} [al-Baqarah 223].

Abi Bakr." He said: "Who is the previously married woman?" She said: "Sawda bt. Zam'a b. Qays, who has believed in you and followed you in what you are upon." He said: "Go and mention them." So she came and entered the house of Abu Bakr and said: "O Abu Bakr, what good and blessing has Allah brought upon you! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to propose 'A'isha on his behalf."
