Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No person should bid against the bid of his brother, and no person should send a marriage proposal over the proposal of his brother. No woman should demand the divorce of her sister (i.e., co-wife) so that she may take her share of blessings for herself." The Shaykh states: This narrator named Ibn Zayd is from the people of Mazar; he is a resident of Basra and is trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "No person should send a marriage proposal over the proposal of his brother."
