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.' The Prophet (saw) gave her the choice, and she said: 'I approve of
what my father did, but I wanted women to know that their fathers have no right
to do that.'" (Sahih)
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)

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.'"

'Aishah: "And the ruler is the guardian of the one who does not have a
guardian." (Sahih)

that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'There is no marriage except with a
guardian." (Sahih)
1882 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'No woman should arrange the
marriage of another woman, and no woman should arrange her own marriage. The
adulteress is the one who arranges her own marriage." (Sahih)
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."]

Sa'd said: "A woman came to the Prophet (saw) and he said: 'Who will marry
her?' A man said: 'I will.' 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)

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.

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

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

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

that the Prophet (saw) said: "Announce this marriage, and beat the sieve

shape)." (Sindi)]

Husain, whose name was Khalid Al-Madani, said: "We were in Al-Madinah on the

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)

to you, may Allah bless you and us?'" (Da'if)

them.)'" (Hasan)

pillows with (date-palm) fiber which we picked with our own hands. Then we

Fatimah." (Da'if)

people are saying that you do not feel angry for your daughters. This 'Ali is
going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl." Miswar said: "The Prophet
(saw) stood up, and I heard him when he bore witness (i.e., said the Shahadah),
then he said: 'I married my daughter (Zainab) to abul-As bin Rabi', and he
spoke to me and was speaking the truth. Fatimah bint Muhammad is a part of me,

Messenger of Allah and the daughter of the enemy of Allah will never be joined
together in marriage to one man.'"

the marriage proposal. (Sahih)

sitting with Anas bin Malik, and a daughter of his was with him. Anas said: 'A
woman came to the Prophet (saw) and offered herself to him. She said: "O
Messenger of Allah, do you have any need of me?" His daughter said: 'How

(to marry) the Messenger of Allah (saw), and she offered herself to him.'"
(Sahih0

said: 'What color are they?' He said: 'Red.' He said: 'Are there any grey ones

'Likewise, perhaps this is hereditary.'" (Sahih)

camels?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What color are
they?" He said: "Red." He said: "Are there any black ones
among them?" He said, "No." He said: "Are there any grey
ones among them?" He said: "Yes." He said: "How is
that?" He said: "Perhaps it is hereditary." He said:
"Perhaps (the color of) this son of yours is also hereditary."

2004 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: Ibn Zam'ah and Sa'd (Ibn Abu Waqqas) referred a dispute to the Prophet
(saw) concerning the son of Zam'ah's slave woman. Sa'd said: "O Messenger
of Allah, my brother (Utbah bin Abu Waqqas) left instructions in his will that
when I come to Makkah, I should look for the son of the slave woman of Zam'ah
and take him into my care." 'Abd bin Zam'ah said: "He is my brother
and the son of the slave woman of my father; he was born on my father's
bed." The Prophet (saw) saw that he resembled 'Utbah, and said: "He
belongs to you, O 'Abd bin Zam'ah. The child is for the bed*. Observe Hijab
before him, O Saudah." (Sahih)
*['The child is for the bed'
means that the child is attributed to the husband or the man who owns the slave
women who gave birth to that child, even if the child resembles someone else.]
2005 It was narrated from 'Umar
that the Messenger of Allah (saw) ruled that the child belonged to the bed.
(Sahih)

'Abbas that a woman came to the Prophet (saw) and became Muslim, and a man
married her. Then her first husband came and said: "O Messenger of Allah,

Messenger of Allah (saw) took her away from her second husband and returned her
to her first husband. (Da'if)

bint Wahb Al-Asadiyyah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: 'I
wanted to forbid intercourse with a nursing mother, but then (I saw that) the

heard him say, when he was asked about coitus interruptus: 'It is the disguised
form of burying children alive.'" (Sahih)
2012 It was narrated from Muhajir
bin Abu Muslim, from Asma' bint Yazid bin Sakan, who was his freed slave woman,
that she heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: "Do not kill your

breastfeeding woman catches up with people when they are riding their horses
(in battle) and wrestles them to the ground." (Da'if)
2013 It was narrated that Abu
Umamah said: "A woman came to the Prophet (saw) with two of her children,

annoy their husbands, those among them who perform prayer will enter
Paradise.'" (Da'if0

leave you and join us.'" (Hasan)

that the Prophet (saw) said: "What is Haram does not make what is Halal

himself, it does not make the thing unlawful, or the commission of an unlawful
act will not, by itself, makes something else unlawful.]
