Sunan Ibn Majah Book #9 - The Chapters on Marriage

The Chapters on Marriage from Sunan Ibn Majah

1845 It was narrated that 'Alqamah bin Qais said: "I was with 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud in Mina, and 'Uthman took him aside. I was sitting near him. 'Uthman said to him: 'Would you like that I marry you to a young virgin who will remind you of how you were in the past?' When 'Abdullah saw that he did not want to say anything to him apart from that, he gestured to me, so I came and he said: 'As you say that, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. Whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for it will diminish his desire." (Sahih)

1846 It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Marriage is part of my Sunnah, and whoever does not follow my Sunnah has nothing to do with me. Get married, for I will boast of your great numbers before the nations. Whoever has the means, let him get married, and whoever does not, then he should fast, for it will diminish his desire." (Hasan)

1847 It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'There is nothing like marriage for two who love one another." (Hasan)

1848 It was narrated that Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) disapproved of 'Uthman bin Mas'un's desire to remain celibate; if he had given him permission, we would have gotten ourselves castrated." (Sahih)

1849 It was narrated from Samurah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade celibacy.

Zaid bin Akhzam added: "And Qatadah recited: 'And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad (saw)), and made for them wives and offspring.'"[13:38] (Sahih)

1850 It was narrated from Hakim bin Mu'awiyah, from his father, that a man asked the Prophet (saw): "What are the rights of the woman over her husband?" He said: "That he should feed her as he feeds himself and clothe her as he clothes himself; he should not strike her on the face nor disfigure her, and he should not abandon her except in the house (as a form of discipline)." (Hasan)

1851 It was narrated that Sulaiman bin 'Amr bin Ahwas said: "My father told me that he was present on the Farewell Pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah (saw). He praised and glorified Allah, and reminded and exhorted (the people). Then he said: 'I enjoin good treatment of women, for they are prisoners with you, and you have no right to treat them otherwise, unless they commit clear indecency. If they do that, then forsake them in their beds and hit them, but without causing injury or leaving a mark. If they obey you, then do not seek means of annoyance against them. You have rights over your women and your women have rights over you. Your rights over your women are that they are not to allow anyone whom you dislike to tread on your bedding (furniture),* nor allow anyone whom you dislike to enter your houses. And their rights over you are that you should treat them kindly with regard to their clothing and food." (Sahih)

*[Meaning, that they are not to let anyone you dislike in your home, as mentioned in the following statement. See Tuhfatul-Ahwadhi (no. 1162) and explanation by Sindi.]

1852 It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone else, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. If a man were to command his wife to move (something) from a red mountain to a black mountain, and from a red mountain to a black mountain, her duty is to obey him." (Da'if)

1853 It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Abu Awfa said: "When Mu'adh bin Jabal came from Sham, he prostrated to the Prophet (saw), who said: 'What is this, O Mu'adh?' He said: 'I went to Sham and saw them prostrating to their bishops and patricians (i.e. aristocrats), and I wanted to do that for you.' The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Do not do that. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! No woman can fulfill her duty towards Allah until she fulfills her duty towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not refuse.'" (Hasan)

1854 It was narrated from Musawir Al-Himyari from his mother that she heard Umm Salamah say: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: 'Any woman who dies when her husband is pleased with her, will enter Paradise.'" (Hasan)

1855 It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "This world is but provisions, and there is no provision in this world better than a righteous wife." (Sahih)

1856 It was narrated that Thawban said: "When the Verse[9:34] concerning silver and gold was revealed, they said: 'What kind of wealth should we acquire? 'Umar said: 'I will tell you about that.' So he rode on his camel and caught up with the Prophet (saw), and I followed him. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what kind of wealth should we acquire?' He said: 'Let one of you acquire a thankful heart, a tongue that remembers Allah and a believing wife who will help him with regard to the Hereafter.'" (Hasan)

1857 It was narrated from Abu Umamah that the Prophet (saw) used to say: "Nothing is of more benefit to the believer after Taqwa of Allah than a righteous wife whom, if he commands her she obeys him, if he looks at her he is pleased, if he swears an oath concerning her she fulfills it, and when he is away from her she is sincere towards him with regard to herself and his wealth." (Da'if)

1858 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "A woman may be married for four things: Her wealth, her lineage, her beauty or for her religion. Choose the religious, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper)." (Sahih)

1859 It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Do not marry women for their beauty, it may lead to their doom.[Because of self-admiration or vanity] Do not marry them for their wealth, for it may lead them to fall into sin. Rather, marry them for their religion. A black slave woman with piercings who is religious is better." (Da'if)

1860 It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "I married a woman during the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw), then I met the Messenger of Allah (saw) and he said: 'Have you got married,  Jabir?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'To a virgin or to a previously-married woman?' I said: 'A previously-married woman.' He said: 'Why not a virgin so you could play with her?' I said: 'I have sisters and I did not want her to create trouble between them and me.' He said: 'That is better then.'" (Sahih)

1861 It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Salim bin 'Utbah bin 'Uwaim bin Sa'idah Al-Ansari, from his father, that his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'You should marry virgins, for their mouths are sweeter, their wombs are more prolific and they are satisfied with less." (Da'if)

1862 It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: 'Whoever wants to meet Allah pure and purified, let him marry free women.'" (Da'if)

1863 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Marry, for I will boast of your great numbers." (Sahih)

1864 It was narrated that Muhammad bin Salamah said: "I proposed marriage to a woman, then I hid and waited to see her until I saw her among some date palm trees that belonged to her." It was said to him: "Do you do such a thing then you are a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (saw)?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) saying: 'When Allah causes a man to propose to a woman, there is nothing wrong with him looking at her.'" (Da'if)

1865 It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that Mughirah bin Shu'bah wanted to marry a woman. The Prophet (saw) said to him: "Go and look at her, for that is more likely to create love between you." So he did that, and he married her, and mentioned how well he got along with her. (Sahih)

1866 It was narrated that Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: "I came to the Prophet (saw) and told him of a woman to whom I had to propose marriage. He said: 'Go and look at her, for that is more likely to create love between you.' So I went to a woman among the Ansar and proposed marriage through her parents. I told them what the Prophet (saw) had said, and it was as if they did not like that. Then I heard that woman, behind her curtain, say: 'If the Messenger of Allah (saw) has told you to do that, then do it, otherwise I adjure you by Allah (not to do so)'. And it was as if she regarded that as a serious matter. So I looked at her and married her." And he mentioned how well he got along with her. (Sahih)

1867 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "A man should not propose to a woman to whom his brother has already proposed." (Sahih)

1868 It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "A man should not propose marriage to a woman to whom his brother has already proposed." (Sahih)

1869 It was narrated that Abu Bakr bin Abu Jahm bin Sukhair Al-'Adawi said: "I heard Fatimah bint Qais say: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to me: "When you become lawful,[Meaning when her 'Iddah ends] tell me." So I told him.' Then Mu'awiyah, Abu Jahm bin Sukhair and Usamah bin Zaid proposed marriage to her. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'As for Mu'awiyah, he is a poor man who has no money. As for Abu Jahm, he is a man who habitually beats woman. But Usamah (is good).' She gestured with her hand saying: 'Usamah, Usamah?!' The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to her: 'Obedience to Allah and His Messenger is better for you.' She said: 'So I married him and I was pleased with him.'" (Sahih)

1870 It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "A widow has more right (to decide) concerning herself than her guardian, and a virgin should be consulted." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, a virgin may be too shy to speak." He said: "Her consent is her silence." (Sahih)

1871 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: "A previously-married woman should not be married until she is consulted, and a virgin should not be married until her consent is sought, and her consent is her silence." (Sahih)

1872 It was narrated from 'Adi bin 'Adi Al-Kindi that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'A previously-married woman can speak for herself, and the consent of a virgin is her silence.'" (Sahih)

1873 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid Al-Ansari and Mujamma' bin Yazid Al-Ansari said that a man among them who was called Khidam arranged a marriage for his daughter, and she did not like the marriage arranged by her father. She went to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and told him about that, and he annulled the marriage arranged by her father. Then she married Abu Lubabah bin 'Abdul-Mundhir. (Sahih)

(One of the narrators) Yahya mentioned that she was a previously-married woman.

1874 It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah that his father said: "A girl came to the Prophet (saw) and said: 'My father married me to his brother's son so that he might raise his status thereby.'

1875 It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that a virgin girl came to the Prophet (saw) and told him that her father arranged a marriage that she did not like, and the Prophet (saw) gave her the choice. (Sahih)

Another chain of narrators with similar wording.

1876 It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) married me when I was six years old. Then we came to Al-Madinah and settled among Banu Harith bin Khazraj. I became ill and my hair fell out, then it grew back and became abundant. My mother Umm Ruman came to me while I was on an Urjuhah[A word used to refer to both a swing, and a seesaw] with some of my friends, and called for me. I went to her, and I did not know what she wanted. She took me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house, and I was panting. When I got my breath back, she took some water and wiped my face and head, and led me into the house. There were some woman of the Ansar inside the house, and they said: 'With blessings and good fortune (from Allah).' (My mother) handed me over to them and they tidied me up. And suddenly I saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) in the morning. And she handed me to him and I was at that time, nine years old." (Sahih)

1877 It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "The Prophet (saw) married 'Aishah when she was seven years old, and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine, and he passed away when she was eighteen." (Sahih)

1878 It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that when 'Uthman bin Maz'un died, he left behind a daughter. Ibn 'Umar said: "My maternal uncle Qudamah, who was her paternal uncle, married me to her, but he did not consult her. That was after her father had died. She did not like this marriage, and the girl wanted to marry Mughirah bin Shu'bah, so she married him." (Sahih)

1879 It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Any woman whose marriage is not arranged by her guardian, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If (the man) has had intercourse with her, then the Mahr belongs to her in return for his intimacy with her. And if there is any dispute then the ruler is the guardian of the one who does not have a guardian." (Sahih)

1880 It was narrated that 'Aishah and Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'There is no marriage except with a guardian.'"

1883 It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade Shighar. Shighar is when a man says to another man: 'Marry your daughter or sister to me, on condition that I will marry my daughter or sister to you,' and they do not give any dower (i.e., neither of them give the other the dower)." (Sahih)

1884 It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade Shighar." (Sahih)

1885 It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'There is no Shighar in Islam." (Sahih)

1886 It was narrated that Abu Salamah said: "I asked 'Aishah: 'How much was the dowry of the wives of the Prophet (saw)?' She said: 'The dowry he gave to his wives was twelve Uqiyyah and a Nash (of Silver). Do you know what a Nash is? It is one half of an Uqiyyah. And that is equal to five hundred Dirham.'"* (Sahih)

[They say that Nash is twenty Dirham and it is also used to refer to half of something as in this case, half of an Uqiyyah.]

1887 It was narrated that Abu 'Ajfa' As-Sulami said: "Umar bin Khattab said: 'Do not go to extremes with regard to the dowries of women, for if that were a sign of honor and dignity in this world or a sign of Taqwa before Allah, then Muhammad (saw) would have done that before you. But he did not five any of his wives and none of his daughters were given more than twelve Uqiyyah. A man may increase the dowry until he feels resentment against her and says: "You cost me everything I own," or, "You caused me a great deal of hardship." (Hasan)

And I was a man among the Arabs*, but I do not know the meaning of 'Alaqul-Qirbah or 'Araqul-Qirbah.'"**

*[In Musnad Ahmad Al-Humaidi (23) it is: "And I was a young man."]

**[Meaning due to the ambiguity of the expressions: 'Alaqul-Qirbah and 'Araqul-Qirbah. A Qirbah is a very large water skin that only a very strong man could carry. So the meaning is that I gave you everything until I even carried a giant water skin to your family, or, did so much that I even sweated enough to fill such a water skin. In Al-'Ilal wal-Ma'rifatur-Rijal (no. 95), Ahmad reported regarding this, from Sufyan, who is one of those who narrated this Hadith as recorded by others: "Until I carried a Qirbah from far away."]

The Prophet (saw) said: 'Give her something, even if it is an iron ring.' He said: 'I do not have one.' He said: 'I marry her to you for what you know of the Qur'an.'" (Sahih)

1890 It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (saw) married 'Aishah with household goods the value of which was fifty Dirham. (Da'if)

1891 It was narrated from Masruq, that 'Abdullah was asked about a man who married a woman and died without having consummated the marriage with her, nor stipulating the dowry. 'Abdullah said: "The dowry is hers, and the inheritance is hers, and she has to observe the waiting period." Ma'qil bin Sinan Al-Ashja'i said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) pass a similar ruling concerning Birwa' bint Washiq." (Sahih)

Another chain from 'Alqamah, from 'Abdullah, with similar wording.

1892 It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) granted a combination of all manner of goodness, as well as its seal," or he said: "The opening (of the way to) all good. He taught us the Khutbah of prayer and Khutbah of need. "The Khutbah of prayer is: At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat. As-salamu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-ullahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah. wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh (All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.) Khutbah of need is: Al-hamdu lillahi nahmaduhu wa nasta'inuhu wa nastaghfiruhu, wa na'udhu billahi min sharri anfusina wa min sayi'ati a'malina. Man yahdihillahu fala nudilla lahu, wa man yudlil fala hadiya lahu. Wa ashhadu an la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu (Praise is to Allah, we praise Him and we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, will never be led astray; and whomsoever is led astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, alone with no partner or associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger). Then add to your Khutbah the following three Verses: 'O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in the state of Islam (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allah.'[3:102] And: 'O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him He created his wife, and from them both he created many men and women, and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.'[4:1] And: 'O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins...'[33:70-71] until the end of the Verse." (Da'if)

1893 It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (saw) said: "Al-hamdu lillahi nahmaduhu wa nasta'inuhu wa na'udhu billahi min shururi anfusina wa min sayi'ati a'malina. Man yahdihillahu fala nudilla lahu, wa man yudlil fala hadiya lahu. Wa ashhadu an la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu. Amma ba'd: (Praise is to Allah, we praise Him and we seek His help. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray; and whomsoever is led astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah, alone with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. To proceed:)." (Sahih)

1894 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Every important matter that does not start with praise of Allah is devoid (of blessings)." (Da'if)

1895 It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Prophet (saw) said: "Announce this marriage, and beat the sieve for it."* (Da'if)

*[Meaning with the Daff. He used the Ghirbal (sieve) for it, because it resembles it in its roundness (and shape)." (Sindi)]

She said: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) entered upon me on the morning of my wedding, and there were two girls with me who were singing and mentioning the qualities of my forefathers who were killed on the Day of Badr. One of the things they were saying was: "Among us there is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow." He (saw) said: "Do not say this, for no one knows what will happen tomorrow except Allah." (Sahih)

1898 It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "Abu Bakr entered upon me, and there were two girls from the Ansar with me, singing about what the Ansar used to sing about the Day of Bu'ath."* She said: "And they were not really singers. Abu Bakr said: 'The wind instruments of Satan in the house of the Prophet (saw)?' That was on the day of 'Eid (Al-Fitr). But the Prophet (saw) said: 'O Abu Bakr, every people has its festival and this is our festival.'" (Sahih)

*[Bu'ath was a place about two miles from Al-Madinah where on that day before Islam a battle took place between the Ansar tribes of Aus and Khazraj.]

They said: "Yes." He said: "have you sent someone with her to sing?" She said: "No." The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "The Ansar are people with romantic feelings. Why don't you send someone with her to say: 'We have come to you, we have come to you, may Allah bless you and us?'" (Da'if)

1901 It was narrated that Mujahid said: "I was with Ibn 'Umar, and he heard the sound of a drum, so he put his fingers in his ears and turned away. He did that three times, then he said: 'This is what I saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) do.'" (Da'if)

1906 It was narrated from 'Aqil bin Abu Talib that he married a woman from Banu Jusham, and they said: "May you live in harmony and have many sons."

1907 It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (saw) saw traces of yellow perfume on 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf, and he asked him: "What is this?"

We went to the house and sprinkled it with soft earth from the land of Batha'. Then we stuffed two pillows with (date-palm) fiber which we picked with our own hands. Then we offered dates and raisins to eat, and sweet water to drink. We went and got some wood and set it up at the side of the room, to hang clothes and water skins on. And we never saw any wedding better than the wedding of Fatimah." (Da'if)

(Hasan)
