Nubaih bin Wahb brother of Banu Abd Al Dar said Umar bin Ubaid Allah sent someone to Aban bin Uthman bin Affan asking him (to participate in the marriage ceremony). Aban in those days was the chief of the pilgrims and both were in the sacred state (wearing ihram). I want to give the daughter of Shaibah bin Jubair to Talhah bin Umar in marriage. I wish that you may attend it. Aban refused and said I heard my father Uthman bin Affan narrating a tradition from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying A pilgrim may not marry and give someone in marriage in the sacred state (while wearing ihram).

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Aban bin Uthman on the authority of Uthman from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in a similar manner. This version adds“And he should not make a betrothal”

Yazid bin Al Asamm, Maimunah’s nephew said on Maimunah’s authority The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم married me when we were not in the sacred state at Sarif.

Ibn Abbas said The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم married Maimunah while he was in the sacred state (wearing ihram).

Saeed bin Al Musayyib said There is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn Abbas about the marriage (of the Prophet) with Maimunah while he was in the sacred state.
