Chapters on Marriage from
Sunan An-Nasa'i
3198 It was narrated that 'Ata'
said: "We attended the funeral of Maimunah, the wife of the Prophet (saw),
with Ibn 'Abbas in Sarif. Ibn 'Abbas said: 'This is Maimunah; when you lift her
bier, do not rock it or shake it. The Messenger of Allah (saw) had nine wives
and he used to give a share of his time to eight of them and not to one.'"
(Sahih)
3199 It was narrated that Ibn
'Abbas said: "When the Messenger of Allah (saw) died he had nine wives; he
used to be intimate with all of them except one, who had given her day and
night to 'Aishah." (Sahih)
3200 Anas narrated that the
Prophet (saw) used to go around to his wives in a single night, and at that
time he had nine wives. (Sahih)
3201 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "I used to feel jealous of those (women) who offered themselves (in
marriage) to the Prophet (saw) and I said: 'Would a free woman offer herself?'
Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'You can postpone whom you will
of them, and you may receive whom you will.'[33:51] I said: 'By Allah, I see
that your Lord is quick to respond to your wishes.'" (Sahih)
3202 It was narrated that Sahl bin
Sa'd said: "I was among the people when a woman said: 'I offer myself (in
marriage) to you, O Messenger of Allah, see what you think of me.' A man stood
up and said: 'Marry me to her.' He said: 'Go find me (something), even if it is
an iron ring.' So he went, but he could not find anything, not even an iron
ring. So the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Do you have (memorized) any Surahs
of the Qur'an?' He said: 'Yes.' So he married him to her on the basis of what
he knew of Surahs of the Qur'an." (Sahih)
3203 It was narrated from 'Aishah,
the wife of the Prophet (saw), that the Messenger of Allah (saw) came to her
when Allah commanded him to give his wives the choice. 'Aishah said: "The
Messenger of Allah (saw) started with me and said: 'I am going to tell you
something, but you do not have to rush until you consult your parents.'"
She said: "He knew that my parents would not tell me to leave him."
Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you
desire the life of this world, and its glitter, then come! I will make a
provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner.'[33:28] "I said:
'Do I need to consult my parents about this? I choose Allah and His Messenger,
and the abode of the Hereafter.'" (Sahih)
3204 It was narrated that 'Aishah,
may Allah be pleased with her, said: "The Messenger of Allah(saw) gave his
wives the choice (of staying with him) was it divorce?" (Sahih)
3205 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) gave us the choice, and we chose him,
so there was no divorce." (Sahih)
3206 It was narrated that 'Ata'
said: "'Aishah said: 'The Messenger of Allah(saw) did not die until women
had been made lawful to him'"[33:50] (Sahih)
3207 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not die until Allah permitted him
to marry whatever women he wanted." (Sahih)
3208 It was narrated that 'Alqamah
said: "I was with Ibn Mas'ud while he was with 'Uthman, may Allah be
pleased with him, and 'Uthman said: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) came out to
some Fityah (young men) - Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said, 'I did not understand (the word)
Fityah as I would want' - and said: 'Whoever among you can afford it, let him
get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding
chastity, and whoever cannot, then fasting will be a restraint (Wija') for
him.'" (Sahih)
3209 It was narrated from 'Alqamah
that 'Uthman said to Ibn Mas'ud: "Shall I arrange for you to marry a young
girl?" 'Abdullah called 'Alqamah and he told the people that the Prophet
(saw) said: "Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it
is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity. And whoever
cannot afford it, then let him fast, for it will be restraint for him."
(Sahih)
3210 It was narrated from 'Alqamah
and Al-Aswad that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to
us: 'Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, and whoever cannot
then he should fast, for it will be a restraint (Wija') for him.'" (Sahih)
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: (The
mention of) Al-Aswad in this Hadith is not preserved.
3211 It was narrated that
'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to us: 'O young men,
whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective
in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity, and whoever cannot then he should
fast, for it will be a restraint (Wija') for him.'" (Sahih)
3212 It was narrated that
'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to us: 'O young men,
whoever among you can afford it, let him get married,'" and he quoted the
same Hadith. (Sahih)
3213 It was narrated that 'Alqamah
said: "I was walking with 'Abdullah in Mina and he was met by 'Uthman who
stood with him and spoke with him. He said: 'O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! Shall I not
marry you to a young girl? Perhaps she will remind you of when you were younger?'
'Abdullah said: 'As you say that (it reminds me that) the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said to us: O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get
married.'" (Sahih)
3214 It was narrated that Sa'd bin
Abi Waqqas said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade 'Uthman to be
celibate. If he had given him permission we would have castrated
ourselves." (Sahih)
3215 It was narrated from 'Aishah
that the Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade celibacy. (Sahih)
3216 It was narrated from Samurah
bin Jundab that the Prophet (saw) forbade celibacy. (Sahih)
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said:
Qatadah is more reliable and better preserves narrations than Ash'ath but the
Hadith of Ash'ath (here) appears to be the correct one. Allah, Most High, knows
best.
3217 It was narrated from Abu
Salamah that Abu Hurairah said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am a
young man and I fear hardship for myself, but I cannot afford to marry; should
I castrate myself?'" The Prophet (saw) turned away from him until he said
it three times. Then the Prophet (saw) said: "O Abu Hurairah, the pen is
dried concerning what you are going to face, so (it is up to you whether) you
castrate yourself or not."[This is a rebuke for thinking of using
impermissible means to solve the problem.] (Sahih)
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i)
said: Al-Awza'i did not hear this narration from Az-Zuhri, and this Hadith is
Sahih, Yunus reported it from Az-Zuhri.
3218 It was narrated from Sa'd bin
Hisham that he came to the Mother of the Believers, 'Aishah. He said: "I
want to ask you about celibacy, what do you think about it?" She said:
"Do not do that; have you not heard that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime,
says: 'And indeed We sent Messengers before you and made them wives and
offspring.?[13:38] So do not be celibate.'" (Sahih)
3219 It was narrated from Anas
that there was a group of the Companions of the Prophet (saw), one of whom
said: "I will not marry women." Another said: "I will not eat
meat." Another said: "I will not sleep on a bed." Another said:
"I will fast and not break my fast." News of that reached the
Messenger of Allah (saw) and he praised Allah and said: "What is the
matter with people who say such and such? But I pray and I sleep, I fast and I
break my fast, and I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of
me." (Sahih)
3220 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "There are three who are
promised the help of Allah: The Mukatab[The slave who has made a contract of
manumission] who wants to buy his freedom, the one who gets married seeking to keep
himself chaste, and the Mujahid who fights in the cause of Allah." (Hasan)
3221 It was narrated that Jabir
said: "I got married then I came to the Prophet (saw) and he said: 'Have
you got married, O Jabir?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'To a virgin or to a
previously married woman?' I said: 'To a previously married woman.' He said:
'Why not a virgin, so you could play with her and she could play with
you?'" (Sahih)
3222 It was narrated that Jabir
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) met me and said: 'O Jabir, have you
got married to a woman since I last saw you?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of
Allah (saw).' He said: 'To a virgin or to a previously married woman?' I said:
'To a previously-married woman.' He said: 'Why not a virgin, so she could play
with you?'" (Sahih)
3223 It was narrated from
'Abdullah bin Buraidah that his father said: Abu Bakr and 'Umar, may Allah be
pleased with them, proposed marriage to Fatimah but the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: 'She is young.' Then 'Ali proposed marriage to her and he married
her to him." (Sahih)
3224 It was narrated from
'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah that during the reign of Marwan, 'Abdullah
bin 'Amr bin 'Uthman, who was a young man, issued a final divorce to the
daughter of Sa'eed bin Zaid, whose mother was Bint Qais. Her maternal aunt,
Fatimah bint Qais, sent word to her telling her to move from the house of
'Abdullah bin 'Amr. Marwan heard of that and he sent word to the daughter of
Sa'eed, telling her to go back to her home, and asking her why she had moved
from her home before her 'Iddah was over? She sent word to him telling him that
her maternal aunt had told her to do that. Fatimah bint Qais said that she had
been married to Abu 'Amr bin Hafs, and when the Messenger of Allah (saw)
appointed 'Ali bin Abi Talib as governor of Yemen, he went out with him and
sent word to her that she was divorced with the third Talaq. He told Al-Harith
bin Hisham and 'Ayyash bin Abi Rai'ah to spend on her. She sent word to
Al-Harith and 'Ayyash asking them what her husband had told them to spend on
her, and they said: 'By Allah, she has no right to any maintenance from us,
unless she is pregnant, and she cannot come into our home without our
permission.' She said that she came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and told him
about that, and he stated that they were correct. Fatimah said: 'Where should I
move to, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Move to the home of Ibn Umm Maktum,
the blind man whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, named in His Book.' Fatimah
said: 'So I observed my 'Iddah there. He was a man who has lost his sight, so I
used to take off my garments in his house, until the Messenger of Allah (saw)
married me to Usamah bin Zaid.' Marwan criticized her for that and said: 'I
have never heard this Hadith from anyone before you. I will continue to follow
the ruling that the people have been following." (Sahih)
3225 It was narrated from 'Aishah
that Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin 'Abd Shams - who was one of those
who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allah (saw) - adopted Salim
and married him to his brother's daughter. Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utbah bin
Rabi'ah bin 'Abd Shams, and he was a freed slave of an Ansari woman - as the
Messenger of Allah (saw) had adopted Zaid. During the Jahiliyyah, if a man
adopted someone, the people would call him his son, and he would inherit from
his legacy, until Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed about that: 'Call
them by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allah. But if you
know not their fathers' (names, call them) your brothers in Faith and Mawalikum
(your freed slaves)."[33:5] Then if a person's father's name was not
known, he would be their freed slave and brother in faith. (Sahih)
3226 It was narrated from 'Aishah
the wife of the Prophet (saw), and Umm Salamah the wife of the Prophet (saw)
that Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin Abd Shams - who was one of those
who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allah (saw) - adopted Salim
- who was the freed slave of an Ansari woman - as the Messenger of Allah (saw)
had adopted Zaid bin Harithah. Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah married Salim to his
brother's daughter Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah. Hind bint
al-Walid bin 'Utbah was one of the first Muhajir women, and at that time she
was one of the best single women of the Quraish. When Allah, the Mighty and
Sublime, revealed the following concerning Zaid bin Harithah: 'Call them by
(the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allah. But if you not not
their fathers' (names, call them) your brothers in Faith and Mawalikum (your
freed slaves).'[33:5] each of them went back to being called after his father,
and if a person's father was unknown, he was named after his former masters.
(Sahih)
3227 It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah
that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'The nobility of
the people of this world, that which they (always) go to, is
wealth.'"[They say that the meaning is that nobility is usually judged
upon wealth and treatment of it, where as honor is based upon Taqwa.] (Sahih)
3228 It was narrated from Jabir
that he married a woman at the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw), and the
Prophet (saw) met him and said: "Have you got married, O Jabir? He said:
'Yes.' He said: 'A virgin or a previously married woman?' I said: 'A previously
married woman.' He said: 'Why not a virgin who would play with you?' I said: 'O
Messenger of Allah, I have sisters, and I did not want her to come between them
and I.' He said: 'That's better then. A woman may be married for her religious
commitment, her wealth or her beauty. You should choose the one who is
religiously committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust (may you
prosper).'" (Sahih)
3229 It was narrated that Ma'qil
bin Yasar said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: 'I
have found a woman who is from a good family and of good status, but she does
not bear children, should I marry her?' He told him not to. Then he came a
second time and he told him not to (marry her). Then he came to him a third
time and he told him not to (marry her), then he said: 'Marry the one who is
fertile and loving, for I will boast of your great numbers.'" (Hasan)
3230 It was narrated from 'Amr bin
Shu'bah, from his father, from his grandfather, that Marthad bin Abi Marthad
Al-Ghanawi - a strong man who used to take the prisoners from Makkah to
Al-Madinah - said: "I arranged with a man to bring him (from Makkah to
Al-Madinah). There was a prostitute in Makkah who was called 'Anaq, and she was
his friend. She came out and saw my shadow on the wall, and said: 'Who is this?
Marthad? Welcome, O Marthad, come tonight and stay at our place.' I said: 'O
'Anaq, the Messenger of Allah (saw) has forbidden adultery.' She said: 'O
people of the tents, this porcupine is the one who is taking your prisoners
from Makkah to Al-Madinah!' I headed toward (the mountain of) Al-Khandamah, and
eight men came after me. They came and stood over my head, and they urinated,
and their urine reached me, but Allah caused them not to see me. Then I went to
my companion (the prisoner) and brought him to Al-arak, where I undid his
fetters. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: 'O Messenger of
Allah, shall I marry 'Anaq?' He remained silent and did not answer me, then the
following was revealed: 'And the adulteress - fornicator, none marries her
except an adulterer - fornicator or an idolater.'[24:3] He called me and
recited to me and said: 'Do not marry her.'" (Hasan)
3231 It was narrated from Ibn
'Abbas that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: "I have a
wife who is one of the most beloved of the people to me, but she does not
object if anyone touches her." He said: "Divorce her." He said:
"I cannot do without her." He said: "Then stay with her as much
as you need to." (Sahih)
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i)
said: This Hadith is not reliable. 'Abdul-Karim is not that strong (a narrator)
and Harun bin Ri'ab is more reliable than him, and he narrated it in Mursal
form. Harun is trustworthy, and his narration is more worthy of being
considered correct than 'Abdul-Karim's narration.
3232 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: "Women are married for four things:
Their wealth, their nobility, their beauty and their religious commitment.
Choose the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with
dust." (Sahih)
3233 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "It was said to the Messenger of Allah (saw): 'Which woman
is best?' He said: 'The one makes him happy when he looks at her, obeys him
when he commands her, and she does not go against his wishes with regard to
herself nor her wealth.'" (Hasan)
3234 It was narrated from
'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"This world is all temporary conveniences, and the best temporary
convenience of this world is a righteous woman." (Sahih)
3235 It was narrated from Anas
that they said: "O Messenger of Allah, why don't you marry a woman from
the Ansar?" He said: "They are very jealous." (Sahih)
3236 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "A man proposed marriage to a woman from among the Ansar and
the Messenger of Allah (saw) said to him: 'Have you seen her?' He said: 'No.'
So he told him to look at her." (Sahih)
3237 It was narrated that
Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: "I proposed marriage to a woman during the
time of the Messenger of Allah (saw), and the Prophet (saw) said: 'Have you
seen her?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Look at her, for that is more likely to
create love between you.'" (Sahih)
3238 It was narrated from 'Urwah,
that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) married me in Shawwal and
my marriage was consummated in Shawwal." - 'Aishah liked for her women's
marriages to be consummated in Shawwal - "and which of his wives was more
beloved to him than me?" (Sahih)
3239 'Amir bin Shurahbil
Ash-Sha'bi narrated that he heard Fatimah bint Qais - who was one of the first
Muhajir women - say: 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf proposed marriage to me, along with
others of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (saw). And the Messenger of
Allah (saw) proposed that I marry his freed slave, Usamah bin Zaid. I was told
that the Messenger of Allah (saw) had said: 'Whoever loves me, let him love
Usamah.' When the Messenger of Allah (saw) spoke to me I said: 'My affairs are
in your hands; marry me to whomever you wish.' He said: 'Go to Umm Sharik.' Umm
Sharik was a rich Ansari woman who used to spend a great deal in the cause of
Allah, and she always had a lot of guests. I said: 'I will do that.' He said:
'Do not do that, for Umm Sharik has a lot of guests, and I would not like your
Khimar to fall off, or your shins to become uncovered, and the people see
something of you that you do not want them to see. Rather go to your cousin
(son of your paternal uncle) 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Umm Maktum, who is a man of
Banu Fihr.' So I went to him." This is an abridged for of it. (Sahih)
3240 It was narrated from Ibn
'Umar that the Prophet (saw) said: "None of you should propose to a woman
when someone else has already proposed to her." (Sahih)
3241 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Do not artificially
inflate prices, a resident should not sell for a Bedouin, a man should not
offer more for something than has already been brought by his brother, no one
should propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her,
and no woman should try to bring about the divorce of her sister, in order to
deprive her of the blessings that she has.'" (Sahih)
3242 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: "None of you should propose marriage
to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her." (Sahih)
3243 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "None of you should
propose marriage to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her,
unless he marries (and he gives up the idea), or gives him permission."
(Sahih)
3244 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: "None of you should propose marriage
to a woman when someone else has already proposed to her." (Sahih)
3245 'Abdullah bin 'Amr used to
say: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade offering more for something
than has already been bought by his brother, or for a man to propose marriage
to a woman when someone else had already proposed to her, unless the previous
suitor gave up the idea or gave him permission." (Sahih)
3246 It was narrated from Muhammad
bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin Thawban that they asked Fatimah bint Qais about her story
and she said: "My husband divorced me three times, and he used to provide
me with food that was not good." She said: "By Allah, if I were
entitles to maintenance and accomodation I would demand them and I would not
accept this." The deputy said: "You are not entitled to accomodation
or maintenance." She said: "I came to the Prophet (saw) and told him
about that, and he said: You are not entitled to accomodation nor maintenance;
observe your 'Iddah in the house of so-and-so." She said: 'His Companions
used to go to her. Then he said: 'Observe your 'Iddah in the house of Ibn Umm
Maktum, who is blind, and when your 'Iddah is over, let me know.'" She said:
"When my 'Iddah was over, I let him know. The Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: 'Who has proposed marriage to you?' I said: 'Mu'awiyah and another man
from the Quraish.' He said: 'As for Mu'awiyah, he is a boy among the Quraish
and does not have anything, and as for the other he is a bad man with no
goodness in him. Rather you should marry Usamah bin Zaid.'" She said:
"I do not like the idea." But he said that to her three times so she
married him. (Sahih)
3247 It was narrated from Fatimah
bint Qais that Abu 'Amr bin Hafs issued a final divorce to her while he was
absent. His deputy sent some barley to her but she did not like it. He said:
"By Allah, you have no rights over us." She went to the Messenger of
Allah (saw) and told him about that, and he said: "You have no right to
maintenance." He told her to observe her 'Iddah in the house of Umm
Sharik, then he said: "She is a woman whose house is frequented by
Companions. Observe your 'Iddah in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a
blind man and you can take off your garment. And when your 'Iddah is over, let
me know." She said: "When my 'Iddah was over I told him that
Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm had proposed marriage to me. The
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'As for Abu Jahm, his stick never leaves his
shoulder,* and as for Mu'awiyah he is a poor man who has no wealth. Rather you
should marry Usamah bin Zaid.' I did not like the idea, then he said: 'Marry
Usamah bin Zaid.' So I married him and Allah created a lot of good in him, and
others felt jealous of my good fortune." (Sahih)
*[This has been interpreted by
the scholars as meaning that he traveled a great deal, or that he habitually
beat his wives; a third suggestion, that he was a man of high sexual energy, is
regarded as being farfetched.]
3248 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "A man of the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah (saw)
and said: 'I have married a woman.' He said: 'Did you look at her? For there is
something in the eyes of the Ansar.'" (Sahih)
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i)
said: I found this Hadith in another place, from Yazid bin Kaisan, that Jabir
bin 'Abdullah narrated it, and what is correct is Abu Hurairah.
3249 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah that a man wanted to marry a woman and the Prophet (saw) said:
"Look at her, for there is something in the eyes of the Ansar."
(Sahih)
3250 It was narrated that 'Umar
said: "Hafsah bint 'Umar became single when (her husband) Khunais -
meaning bin Hudhafah - (died). He was one of the Companions of the Prophet
(saw) who had been present at Badr, and he died in Al-Madinah. I met 'Uthman
bin 'Affan and offered Hafsah in marriage to him. I said: 'If you wish, I will
marry you to Hafsah.' He said: 'I will think about it.' A few days passed, then
I met him and he said: 'I do not want to get married at the moment.'"
'Umar said: "Then I met Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him,
and said: 'If you wish, I will marry Hafsah to you.' He did not give me any
answer, and I felt more upset with him than I had with 'Uthman, may Allah be
pleased with him. Several days passed, then the Messenger of Allah (saw)
proposed marriage to her, and I married her to him. Abu Bakr met me and said:
'Perhaps you felt upset with me when you offered Hafsah in marriage to me and I
did not give you any answer?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Nothing prevented me
from giving you an answer when you made the offer to me except the fact that I
had heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) speak of her, and I did not want to
disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah (saw); if he had left her, then I
would have married her.'" (Sahih)
3251 Thabit Al-Bunani said:
"I was with Anas bin Malik and a daughter of his was with him. He said: 'A
woman came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and offered herself in marriage to
him. She said: O Messenger of Allah, do you want to marry me?" (Sahih)
3252 It was narrated from Anas
that a woman offered herself in marriage to the Prophet (saw). The daughter of
Anas laughed and said: "How little was her modesty." Anas said:
"She was better than you; she offered herself in marriage to the Prophet
(saw)." (Sahih)
3253 It was narrated that Anas
said: "When the 'Iddah of Zainab was over, the Messenger of Allah (saw)
said to Zaid: 'Propose marriage to her on my behalf.' Zaid went and said: O
Zainab, rejoice, for the Messenger of Allah (saw) has sent me to you to propose
marriage on his behalf.'" She said: 'I will not do anything until I
consult my Lord.' She went to her prayer place and Qur'an was revealed, then
the Messenger of Allah (saw) came and entered upon her without any
formalities." (Sahih)
3254 Anas bin Malik said: Zainab
bint Jahsh used to boast to the other wives of the Prophet (saw) and say:
"Allah married me to him from above the Heavens." And the Verse of
Hijab was revealed concerning her. (Sahih)
3255 It was narrated that Jabir
bin 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to teach his
Companions to perform Istikharah in all matters, just as he used to teach them
Surahs from the Qur'an. He said: 'If any one of you is deliberating about a
decision he has to make, then let him pray two Rak'ahs of non-obligatory
prayer, then say: Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi 'ilmika wa astaqdiruka bi
qudratika wa as'aluka min fadlika, fa innaka taqdiru wa la aqdir, wa ta'lamu wa
la a'lam, wa anta 'allam al-ghuyub. Allahumma in kunta ta'lamu anna hadhal-amra

annahu sharrun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa aqibati amri (or: fi ajili amri wa
ajilihi) fasrifhu 'anni wasrifni 'anhu waqdur li al-khayr haythu kana, thumma
radini bihi (O Allah, I seek Your guidance (in making a choice) by virtue of
Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of
Your great bounty. You have power, I have none. And You know, I know not. You
are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter
(then it should be mentioned by name) is good for me in my religion, my
livelihood and my affairs (or:both in this world and in the Hereafter), then
ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your
knowledge it is bad for me and for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs
(or: for me both in this world and the next), then turn it away from me and

Salamah, that when her 'Iddah had ended, Abu Bakr sent word to her proposing
marriage to her, but she did not marry him. Then the Messenger of Allah (saw)
sent 'Umar bin Al-Khattab with a proposal of marriage. She said: "Tell the
Messenger of Allah (saw) that I am a jealous woman and that I have sons, and
none of my guardians are present." He went to the Messenger of Allah (saw)
and told him that. He said: "Go back to her and tell her: As for your
saying that you are a jealous woman, I will pray to Allah for you to take away
your jealousy. As for your saying that you have sons, your sons will be taken
care of. And as for your saying that none of your guardians are present, none
of your guardians, present or absent, would object to that." She said to
her son: "O 'Umar, get up and perform the marriage to the Messenger of
Allah (saw), so he performed the marriage." An abridged for. (Hasan)

"I went to 'Uthman bin 'Affan and offered Hafsah in marriage to him. I
said: 'If you wish, I will marry you to Hafsah bint 'Umar.' He said: 'I will
think about it.' A few days passed, then I met him and he said: 'It seems that
I do not want to get married at the moment.'" 'Umar said: "Then I met
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: 'If you wish, I
will marry Hafsah bint 'Umar to you.' Abu Bakr remained silent, and did not
give me any answer, and I felt more upset with him than I had with 'Uthman.
Several days passed, then the Messenger of Allah (saw) proposed marriage to her
and I married her to him. Abu Bakr met me and said: 'Perhaps you felt upset
with me when you offered Hafsah in marriage to me, and I did not give you any
answer?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Nothing prevented me from giving you an
answer when you made the offer to me, except the fact that I had heard the
Messenger of Allah (saw) speak of her, and I did not want to disclose the
secret of the Messenger of Allah (saw). If he had left her, then I would have
married her.'" (Sahih)

up and said: 'Marry her to me, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'Do you have
anything?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Go and look, even if it is just an iron
ring.' So he went and looked then he came and said: 'I could not find anything,
not even an iron ring.' He said: 'Have you memorized anything of the Qur'an?'

(displeasure) in the face of Abu Hudhaifah when Salim enters upon me.' The
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Breast-feed him.' She said: 'He has a beard.'

breast-feed him when he is a grown man?' He said: 'Don't I know that he is a
grown man?' Then she came after that and said: 'By the One Who sent you with
the truth as a Prophet, I have never seen anything I dislike on the face of Abu
Hudhaifah after that.'" (Sahih)

said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) commanded the wife of Abu Hudhaifah to
breast-feed Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah, so that the protective
jealousy of Abu Hudhaifah would be dispelled. She breast-fed him when he was a
man." (One of the narrators) Rabi'ah said: "That was a concession
granted to Salim." (Sahih)
3324 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "Sahlah came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: 'O Messenger
of Allah, Salim enters upon us and he understands what men understand, and
knows what men know.' He said: 'Breast-feed him, and you will become unlawful
to him thereby.' (Ibn Abi Mulaikah, one of the narrators said:) For a year I
did not narrate this, then I met Al-Qasim and he said: 'Narrate it and do not
worry about it.'" (Sahih)
3325 It was narrated from 'Aishah
that Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah was with Abu Hudhaifah and his
family in their house. The daughter of Suhail came to the Prophet (saw) and
said: "Salim has reached the age of manhood, and understands what men
understand. He enters upon us, and I think that Abu Hudhaifah is not happy
about that." The Prophet (saw) said: "Breast-feed him, and you will
become unlawful to him." So she breast-fed him, and the displeasure of Abu
Hudhaifah disappeared. She came back to him and said: "I breast-fed him
and the displeasure of Abu Hudhaifah has disappeared." (Sahih)
3326 It was narrated that 'Urwah
said: "The rest of the wives of the Prophet (saw) refused for anyone to
enter upon them on the basis of that type of breast-feeding, meaning
breast-feeding of an adult. They said to 'Aishah: 'By Allah, we think that what
the Messenger of Allah (saw) told Sahlah bint Suhail to do was a concession
which was granted by the Messenger of Allah (saw) only with regard to
breast-feeding Salim. By Allah, no one will enter upon us, nor see us on the
basis of this type of breast-feeding.'" (Sahih)

Al-Khudri, that mention of that (coitus interruptus) was made to the Messenger
of Allah (saw) and he said: "Why do you do that?" We said: "A
man may have a wife, and he has intercourse with her, but he does not want her
to get pregnant, or he may have a concubine, and he has intercourse with her,
but he does not want her to get pregnant." He said: "It does not make
any difference if you do that, for it is the matter of Al-Qadar." (Sahih)
3330 It was narrated from Abu
Sa'eed Az-Zuraqi that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (saw) about coitus
interruptus and said: "My wife is breast-feeding and I do not want her to
get pregnant." The Prophet (saw) said: "What has been decreed in the
womb will come to be." (Hasan)
3331 It was narrated from Hajjaj
bin Hajjaj that his father said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how can I
pay back the dues of the one who breast-fed me?' He said: 'By giving a male or
a female slave.'" (Hasan)
3332 It was narrated that 'Uqbah
bin Al-Harith said: I married a woman, then a black woman came to us and said:
I breast-fed you both. I went to the Prophet (saw) and said: I married so and
so and a black woman came to me and said: I breast-fed you both. He turned away
from me so I came to him from the other side and said: She is lying. He said:
"How can you be intimate with your wife when she says that she breast-fed
you both? Leave her (divorce her)." (Sahih)
3333 It was narrated that Al-Bara'
said: "I met my maternal uncle who was carrying a flag (for an expedition)
and I said: 'Where are you going?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) is
sending me to a man who has married his father's wife after he died, to strike
his neck or kill him.'" (Sahih)
3334 It was narrated from Yazid
bin Al-Bara' that his father said: "I met my maternal uncle who was
carrying a flag (for an expedition) and I said: 'Where are you going?' He said:
'The Messenger of Allah (saw) is sending me to a man who has married his
father's wife, and he has commanded me to strike his neck (kill him) and seize
his wealth.'" (Sahih)
3335 It was narrated from Abu
Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet of Allah (saw) sent an army to Awtas. They
met the enemy, fought them, and prevailed over them. They acquired female
prisoners who had husbands among the idolaters. The Muslims felt reluctant to
be intimate with them. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed: "Also
(forbidden are) women already married, except those (slaves) whom your right
hands possess,[4:24] meaning, this is permissible for you once they have
completed their 'Iddah. (Sahih)
3336 It was narrated from Ibn
'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade Ash-Shighar. (Sahih)
3337 It was narrated from 'Imran
bin Husain that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "There is no
'bringing', no 'avoidance',* and no Shighar in Islam, and whoever robs, he is
not one of us." (Sahih)
*[Bringing (Jalab) and
avoidance (Janab): meaning, the Zakah collector should not stop in one place
and demand that the people bring their goods and livestock to him to assess
them and determine how much is due. Conversely, the people should not go to
remote areas far away from where they are expected to be, so that the Zakah
collector has to travel far and face undue hardship in doing his job.]
3338 It was narrated that Anas
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'There is no 'bringing', no
'avoidance' and no Shighar in Islam, and whoever robs, he is not one of
us.'" (Sahih)
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: This
is a grave error and what is correct is the narration of Bishr.
3339 It was narrated from Ibn
'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade Ash-Shighar. Ash-Shighar means
when a man marries his daughter to another man, on the condition that that man
marries his daughter to him, and no dowry is exchanged between them. (Sahih)
3340 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade Ash-Shighar."
(One of the narrators) 'Ubaidullah said: "Ash-Shighar means when a man
gives his daughter in marriage on condition that (the other man) gives him his
sister in marriage." (Sahih)
3341 It was narrated from Sahl bin
Sa'd that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: "O
Messenger of Allah, I have come to offer myself to you (in marriage)." The
Messenger of Allah (saw) looked at her up and down then lowered his head. When
the woman saw that he was not saying anything about her, she sat down. A man
among his Companions stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, if you do
not want to marry her, then marry me to her." He said: "Do you have
anything." He said: "No, by Allah, I do not have anything." He
said: "Look, even if it only an iron ring." He went, then he came
back and said: "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, not even an iron ring,
but this is my Izar (lower garment)" - Sahl said: "He did not have a
Rida' (upper garment)" - "she can have half of it." The
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "What could she do with your Izar? If you
wear it, she will not have any of it, and if she wears it, you will not have
any of it." The man sat down for a long time, then he got up, and the
Messenger of Allah (saw) saw him leaving, so he ordered that he be called back.
When he came, he said: "What do you know of the Qur'an?" He said:
"I know Surah such-and-such, and Surah such-and-such," and listed
them. He said: "Can you recite them by heart?" He said:
"Yes." He said: "Then I marry you to her on the basis of what
you know of the Qur'an." (Sahih)
3342 It was narrated that Anas
said: "Abu Talhah married Umm Sulaim and the dowry between them was Islam.
Umm Sulaim became Muslim before Abu Talhah, and he proposed to her but she
said: 'I have become Muslim; if you become Muslim I will marry you.' So he
became Muslim, and that was the dowry between them." (Sahih)
3343 It was narrated that Anas
said: "Abu Talhah proposed marriage to Umm Sulaim and she said: 'By Allah,
a man like you is not to be rejected, O Abu Talhah, but you are a disbeliever
and I am a Muslim, and it is not permissible for me to marry you. If you become
Muslim, that will be my dowry, and I will not ask you for anything else.' So he
became Muslim and that was her dowry." (one of the narrators) Thabit said:
"I have never heard of a woman whose dowry was more precious than Umm
Sulaim (whose dowry was) Islam. And he consummated the marriage with her, and
she bore him a child." (Hasan)
3344 It was narrated from Anas
that the Messenger of Allah (saw) manumitted Safiyyah and made that her dowry.
(Sahih)
3345 It was narrated from Anas
that the Messenger of Allah (saw) manumitted Safiyyah and made her freedom her
dowry. (Sahih)
This is the wording of
Muhammad (one of the narrators).
3346 It was narrated that Abu Musa
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'There are three who will be
given a twofold reward: A man who has a slave woman whom he disciplines and disciplines
her well, and teaches and teaches her well, then he manumits her and marries
her; a slave who fulfills his duty toward Allah and toward his masters; and a
believer from among the People of the Book.'" (Sahih)
3347 It was narrated that Abu Musa
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Whoever manumits his female
slave, then marries her, he will have two rewards.'" (Sahih)
3348 'Urwah bin Az-Zubair narrated
that he asked 'Aishah about the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime:
"And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan
girls then marry (other) women of your choice.[4:3] She said: "O son of my
sister, this refers to a female orphan who is in the care of her guardian, and
her wealth is joined to his, and he is attracted to her wealth and her beauty.
So her guardian wants to marry her without being fair with regard to her dowry,
and without giving her what someone else would give her. So they were forbidden
to marry them unless they were fair to them and gave them the highest possible
dowry that is customarily given, and they were commanded to marry other women
of their choice." 'Urwah said: "'Aishah said: 'Then later on, Allah,
the Mighty and Sublime, revealed concerning them: 'They ask your legal instruction
concerning women, say: Allah instructs you about them, and about what is
recited unto you in the Book concerning the orphan girls whom you give not the
prescribed portions and yet whom you desire to marry.'[4:127] 'Aishah said:
'What Allah, Most High, mentioned here that is recited in the Book is the first
Verse in which it says: And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal
justly with orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice.'[4:3] 'Aishah
said: 'What is referred to in the other Verse - and yet whom you desire to
marry[4:127] - is the desire of one of you not to marry orphan girl who is
under his care if she is lacking in wealth and beauty. So they were forbidden
to marry those orphan women to whose wealth they were attracted unless they
were fair, because of their desire not to marry (those who were lacking in
wealth and beauty).'" (Sahih)
3349 It was narrated that Abu
Salamah said: "I asked 'Aishah about that and she said: 'The Messenger of
Allah (saw) got married (and married his daughters) for twelve Uqiyah and a
Nashsh'" which is five hundred Dirhams. (Sahih)
3350 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "The dowry, when the Messenger of Allah (saw) was among us,
was ten Awaq." (Sahih)
3351 It was narrated that Abu
Al-'Ajfa' said: "Umar bin Al-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 piety before Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, then
Muhammad (saw) would have done that before you. But he did not give any of his
wives, and none of his daughters were given, more than twelve Uqiyah. A man may
increase the dowry until he feels resentment against her and says: You cost me
everything I own ('Alaqul-Qirbah)'" 'And I was a man born among the 'Arabs,[In
Musnad Al-Humaidi it is: "And I was a young man."] but I did not know
the meaning of 'Alaqul-Qirbah'* and others of you are saying - about those
killed in this or that battle of your, or who died: "So-and-so was
martyred,' or 'so and so died as a martyr.' While perhaps he merely overloaded
the backside of his beast, or lined his saddle with gold or silver seeking
trade. So do not say that, rather say as the Prophet (saw) said: 'Whoever is
killed in the cause of Allah, or dies, then he is in Paradise.'" (Hasan)
*[Meaning, due to the
ambiguity of the expression: 'Alaqul-Qirbah. A Qirbah is a very large water
skin that only a very strong man could carry. So the meaning if 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 wa
Ma'rifat Ar-Rijal (No. 95) Ahmad narrated 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."
3352 It was narrated from Umm
Habibah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) married her when she was in Ethiopia.
An-Najashi performed the marriage for her and gave her a dowry of four
thousand, and he fitted her out from his own wealth, and sent her with
Shurahbil bin Hasanah. The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not send her anything,
and the dowry of his wives was four hundred Dirhams. (Da'if)
3353 It was narrated from Anas bin
Malik that 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf came to the Prophet (saw) with traces of
yellow perfume on him. The Messenger of Allah (saw) asked him (about that) and
he told him that he married a woman from among the Ansar. The Messenger of
Allah (saw) said: "How much did you give her?" He said: "A Nawah
(five Dirhams) of gold." The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Give a
Walimah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep." (Sahih)
3354 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf said:
"The Messenger of Allah (saw) saw me looking cheerful as I had just got
married." I said: "I have gotten married to a woman of the
Ansar." He said: "How much did you giver her as a dowry?" He
said: "A Nawah (fiver Dirhams) of gold." (Sahih)
3355 It was narrated from
'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Amr: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Whatever is
given as a dowry, or gift or is promised her before the marriage belongs to
her. Whatever is given is after the marriage belongs to the one to whom it was
given. And the most deserving for which a (man) is to be honored is (when
marrying off) his daughter or sister.'" This is the wording of 'Abdullah
(one of the narrators). (Hasan)
3356 It was narrated that 'Alqamah
and Al-Aswad said: "A man was brought to 'Abdullah who had married a woman
without naming a dowry for her, then he died before consummating the marriage
with her. 'Abdullah said: 'Ask whether they can find any report about that.'
They said: 'O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, we cannot find any report about that.' He
said: 'I will say what I think, and if it is correct then it is from Allah. She
should have a dowry like that of her peers and no less, with no injustice, and
she may inherit from him, and she has to observe the 'Iddah.' A man from the
Ashja' stood up and said: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) passed a similar
judgment among us concerning a woman called Birwa' bint Washiq. She married a man
who died before consummating the marriage with her, and the Messenger of Allah
(saw) ruled that she should be given a dowry like that of her peers, and she
should inherit, and she had to observe the 'Iddah.' 'Abdullah raised his hands
and said the Takbir." (Sahih)
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i)
said: I do not know of anyone who said "Al-Aswad" in this Hadith
other than Za'idah.
3357 It was narrated from
'Abdullah that a woman was brought to him who had married a man then he had
died without naming any dowry for her and without consummating the marriage
with her. They kept coming to him for nearly a month, and he did not issue any
ruling to them. Then he said: "I think that she should have a dowry like
that of her peers no less, with no injustice and she may inherit from him and
she has to observe the 'Iddah." Ma'qil bin Sinan Al-Ashja'i testified:
"The Messenger of Allah (saw) passed a similar judgment concerning Birwa'
bint Washiq." (Sahih)
3358 It was narrated that
'Abdullah said, concerning a man who married a woman, then died before
consummating the marriage with her, and without naming a dowry: "She
should have the dowry, and she has to observe the 'Iddah, and she may
inherit." Ma'qil bin Sinan said: "I heard the Prophet (saw) pass the
same judgment concerning Birwa' bint Washiq." (Sahih)
3359 (Another chain) with a
similar narration. (Sahih)
3360 It was narrated from
'Abdullah that some people came to him and said: "A man among us married a
woman, but he did not name a dowry for her, and he did not have intercourse
with her before he died. 'Abdullah said: 'Since I left the Messenger of Allah
(saw) I have never been asked a more difficult question than this. Go to
someone else.' They kept coming to him for a month, then at the end of that
they said: 'Who shall we ask if we do not ask you? You are one of the most
prominent Companions of Muhammad (saw) in this land and we cannot find anyone
else.' He said: 'I will say what I think, and is it is correct then it is from
Allah alone, with no partner, and if it is wrong then it is from me and from
the Shaitan, and Allah and His Messenger have nothing to do with it. I think
that she should be given a dowry like that of her peers and no less, with no
injustice, and she may inherit from him, and she has to observe the 'Iddah,
four months and ten days.'" He said: "And that was heard by some
people from Ashja', who stood up and said: 'We bear witness that you have
passed the same judgment as the Messenger of Allah (saw) did concerning a woman
from among us who was called Birwa' bint Washiq.'" He said: "Abdullah
was never seen looking so happy as he did on that day, except with having
accepted Islam." (Sahih)
3361 It was narrated from Sahl bin
Sa'd that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: "O Messenger
of Allah, I give myself in marriage to you." She stood for a long time,
then a man stood up and said: "Marry her to me if you do not want to marry
her." The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Do you have anything?"
He said: "I cannot find anything." He said: "Look (for
something), even if it is only an iron ring." So he looked but he could
not find anything. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to him: "Have you
(memorized) anything of the Qur'an?" He said: "yes, Surah such and
such and Surah such and such," naming them. The Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: "I marry her to you for what you know of the Qur'an." (Sahih)
3362 It was narrated from
An-Nu'man bin Bashir that the Prophet (saw) said, concerning a man who had
intercourse with his wife's slave woman: "If she let him so that, I will
flog him with one hundred stripes, and if she did not let him, I will stone him
(to death)." (Hasan)
3363 It was narrated from
An-Nu'man bin Bashir that a man called 'Abdur-Rahman bin Hunain or Yunbaz
Qurqur had intercourse with his wife's slave woman, and it was brought to
An-Nu'man bin Bashir. He said: "I will pass the same judgment concerning
her as the Messenger of Allah (saw) did. If she let you do that, I will flog
you, but if she did not let you do that, I will stone you (to death)." She
had let him do that so he flogged him with one hundred stripes. (One of the
narrators) Qatadah said: "I wrote to Habib bin Salim and he wrote back to
me with this information." (Hasan)
3364 It was narrated from
An-Nu'man bin Bashir that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, concerning a man
who had intercourse with his wife's slave woman: "If she let him do that,
I will flog him with one hundred stripes, and if she did not let him do that, I
will stone him (to death)." (Hasan)
3365 It was narrated that Salamah
bin Al-Muhabbaq said: "The Prophet (saw) passed judgment concerning a man
who had intercourse with his wife's slave woman: 'If he forced her, then she is
free, and he has to give her mistress a similar slave as a replacement; if she
obeyed him in that, then she belongs to him, and he has to give her mistress a
similar slave as a replacement.'" (Hasan)
3366 It was narrated from Salamah
bin Al-Muhabbaq that a man had intercourse with a slave woman belonging to his
wife, and was brought to the Messenger of Allah (saw). He said: "If he
forced her, then she is free at his expense and he has to give her mistress a
similar slave as a replacement. If she obeyed him in that, then she belongs to
her mistress, and he has to give her mistress a similar slave as well.'"
(Hasan)
3367 It was narrated from Al-Hasan
and 'Abdullah, the sons of Muhammad, from their father, that 'Ali heard that a
man did not see anything wrong with Mut'ah (temporary marriage). He said:
"You are confused, the Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade it, and the meat
of domestic donkeys on the day of Khaibar." (Sahih)
3368 It was narrated from
'Abdullah and Al-Hasan, the sons of Muhammad bin 'Ali, from their father, from
'Ali bin Abi Talib, that the Messenger of Allah (saw) on the Day of Khaibar
forbade temporary marriage to women, and (he also forbade) the meat of tame
donkeys. (Sahih)
3369 Malik bin Anas narrated that
Ibn Shihab told him that 'Abdullah and Al-Hasan, the sons of Muhammad bin 'Ali,
told him, that their father Muhammad bin 'Ali told them, that 'Ali bin Abi
Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw)
on the Day of Khaibar forbade temporary marriage to women." (One of the
narrators) Ibn Al-Muthanna said: "the Day of Hunain." He said:
"This is what 'Abdul-Wahhab narrated to us from his book." (Sahih)
3370 It was narrated from ar-rabi'
bin Sabrah Al-Juhani that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw)
gave permission for Mut'ah, so I and another man went to a woman from Bani
'Amir and offered ourselves to her (for Mut'ah). She said: 'What will you give
me?' I said: 'My Rida' (upper garment).' My companion also said: 'My Rida'.' My
companion's Rida' was finer than mine, but I was younger than him. When she
looked at my companion's Rida' she liked it, but when she looked at me, she
liked me. Then she said: 'You and your Rida' are sufficient for me.' I stayed
with her for three (days), then the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Whoever has
any of these women whom he married temporarily should let them go."
(Sahih)
3371 It was narrated that Muhammad
bin Hatib said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'What differentiates
between the lawful and the unlawful is the Duff, and the voice (singing) for the
wedding." (Hasan)
3372 It was narrated that Abu Balj
said: "I heard Muhammad bin Hatib say: 'What differentiates between the
lawful and the unlawful is the voice (singing).'" (Hasan)
3373 It was narrated that Al-Hasan
said: "Aqil bin Abi Talib married a woman from Banu Jusham, and it was
said to him: 'May you live in harmony and have many sons.' He said: 'Say what
the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Barak Allahu fikum, wa baraka lakum. (May
Allah bless you and bestow blessings upon you.)" (Hasan)
3374 It was narrated that Anas
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) saw traces of yellow perfume on
'Abdur-Rahman and said: 'Hhat is this?' He said: 'I married a woman for a Nawah
(five Dirhams) of gold.' He said: 'May Allah bless you. Give a Walimah (wedding
feast) even if it is with one sheep.'" (Sahih)
3375 It was narrated from Anas
that 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf came with a trace of saffron on him, and the
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "What's this for?" He said: "I
have married a woman." He said: "what dowry did you give?" He
said: "The weight of a Nawah (five Dirhams) of gold." He said:
"Give a Walimah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep."
(Sahih)
3376 It was narrated that Anas
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) saw a trace of yellow perfume on me"
- as if he meant 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf - "and said: 'What's this for?' He
said: 'I have married a woman from among the Ansar.' He said: 'Give a Walimah
(wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep.'" (Sahih)
3377 It was narrated from Ibn
'Abbas that 'Ali said: "I got married to Fatimah, may Allah be pleased
with her, and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, let me consummate the marriage.'
He said: 'Give her something.' I said: 'I do not have anything.' He said:
'Where is your Hutami armor?' He said: 'It is with me.' He said: 'Give it to
her.'" (Sahih)
3378 It was narrated that Ibn
'Abbas said: "When 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, married Fatimah,
may Allah be pleased with her, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said to him: 'Give
her something.' He said: 'I do not have anything.' He said: 'Where is your Hutami
armor?'" (Sahih)
3379 It was narrated that 'Aishah

marriage with me in Shawwal, and which of his wives find more favor with him
than me?" (Sahih)
3380 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) married me when I was six, and
consummated the marriage with me when I was nine, and I used to play with
dolls." (Sahih)
3381 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) married me when I was six, and
consummated the marriage with me when I was nine." (Hasan)
3382 It was narrated from Anas:
"The Messenger of Allah (saw) invaded Khaibar and we prayed Al-Ghadah
(Fajr) there (early in the morning) when it was still dark. Then the Prophet
(saw) rode and Abu Talha rode, and I was riding behind Abu Talha. The Prophet
(saw) passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly, and my knee was touching the
thigh of the Messenger of Allah (saw), and I could see the whiteness of the
thigh of the Prophet (saw). When he entered the town he said: 'Allahu Akbar,
Khaibar is destroyed! Whenever we approach a (hostile) nation to fight, evil
will be the morning for those who have been warned.'[37:177] He said this three
times. The people came out for their work." (one of the narrators)
'Abdul-'Aziz said: "They said: 'Muhammad (has come)!'" 'Abdul-'Aziz
said: "Some of our companions said: 'This his army.'" "We
conquered Khaibar and gathered the captives. Dihyah came and said: 'O Prophet
of Allah, give me a slave girl from among the captives.' He said: 'Go and take
a slave girl.' He took Safiyyah bint Huyyay. Then a man came to the Prophet
(saw) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah (saw), you gave Dihyah Safiyyah bint
Huyyay, and she is the chief mistress of Quraizah and An-Nadir, and she is fit
for no one but you.' He said: 'Call him to bring her.' When the Prophet (saw)
saw her, he said: 'Take any other slave girl from among the captives.'" He
said: "The Prophet of Allah (saw) set her free and married her." (One
of the narrators) Thabit said to him: "O Abu Hamzah, what dowry did he
give to her?" He (Anas) said: "Herself; he set her free and married
her." He said: "While on the road, Umm Sulaim fitted her out and
presented her to him in the night, and the following morning he was a bridegroom.
He said: 'Whoever has anything, let him bring it.' He spread out a leather
cloth and men came with cottage cheese, dates, and ghee, and they made Hais,
and that was the Walimah (wedding feast) of the Messenger of Allah (saw)."
(Sahih)
3383 It was narrated from Humaid
that he hard Anas say: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) stayed with Safiyyah
bint Huyyay bin Akhtab on the way (back from) Khaibar for three days when he
married her, then she was among those who were commanded to observe Hijab."
(Sahih)
3384 It was narrated that Anas
said: "The Prophet (saw) stayed between Khaibar and Al-Madinah for three
days when he consummated his marriage to Safiyyah bint Huyyay, and I invited
the Muslims to his Walimah, in which there was no bread or meat. He commanded
that a leather cloth (be spread) and dates, cottage cheese and ghee were placed
on it, and that was his Walimah. The Muslims said: '(Will she be) one of the
Mothers of the Believers, or a female slave whom his right hand possesses?'
They said: 'If he has a Hijab for her, then she will be one of the Mothers of
the Believers and if she does not have a Hijab then she will be a female slave
whom his right hand possesses.' When he rode on, he set aside a plate for her
behind him and extended a Hijab between her and the people." (Sahih)
3385 It was narrated that 'Amir
bin Sa'd said: "I entered upon Qurazah bin Ka'b and Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari
during a wedding and there were some young girls singing. I said: 'You are two
of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (saw) who were present at Badr, and
this is being done in your presence!' They said: 'Sit down if you want and
listen with us, or if you want you can go away. We were granted a concession
allowing entertainment at weddings.'" (Sahih)

out Fatimah with a velvet dress, a water-skin and a pillow stuffed with
Idhkhar." (Sahih)
3387 It was narrated from Jabir
bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "A bed for a man, a

said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to me: 'Have you got married?' I

3389 It was narrated from Al-Ja'd
bin Abi 'Uthman, that Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw)
got married and consummated the marriage with his wife." He said: "My
mother Umm Sulaim made some Hais, and I bought it to the Messenger of Allah
(saw) and said: 'My mother sends you greetings of Salam, and says to you: 'This
is a little from us.'" He said: 'Put it down.' Then he said: 'Go and call
so-and-so and so-and-so, and whoever you meet,' and he named some men. So I
called those whom he named, and those whom I met." I said to Anas:
"How many were they?" He said: "About three hundred. Then the
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Let them sit around the dish of food in groups
of ten, one after the other, and let each person eat from what is closest to
him.' They ate until they were full, then one group went out and another group
came in. He said to me: 'O Anas, clear it away.' So I cleared it away, and I do
not know whether there was more when I cleared it away, or when I put it
down." (Sahih)
3390 It was narrated from Humaid At-Tawil that he heard Anas say: "The
Messenger of Allah (saw) established the bond of brotherhood between (some of)
the Quraish and (some of) the Ansar, and he established the bond of brotherhood
between Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi' and 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf. Sa'd said to him: 'I have
wealth, which I will share equally between you and me. And I have two wives, so
look and see which one you like better, and I will divorce her, and when her
'Iddah is over you can marry her.' He said: 'May Allah bless your family and
your wealth for you. Show me - i.e., where the market is.' And he did not come
back until he brought some ghee, and cottage cheese that he had left over. He
said: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) saw traces of yellow perfume on me and
said: 'What is this for?' I said: 'I have married a woman from among the
Ansar.' He said: 'Give a Walimah (wedding feast) even if it is with one
sheep.'" (Sahih)
