Sufyan reported on the basis of the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): A woman who has been previously married (Thayyib) has more right to her person than her guardian; and a virgin's father must ask her consent from her, her consent being her silence, At times he said: Her silence is her affirmation.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house at the age of nine. She further said: We went to Madinah and I had an attack of fever for a month, and my hair had come down to the earlobes. Umm Ruman (my mother) came to me and I was at that time on a swing along with my playmates. She called me loudly and I went to her and I did not know what she had wanted of me. She took hold of my hand and took me to the door, and I was saying: Ha, ha (as if I was gasping), until the agitation of my heart was over. She took me to a house, where had gathered the women of the Ansar. They all blessed me and wished me good luck and said: May you have share in good. She (my mother) entrusted me to them. They washed my head and embellished me and nothing frightened me. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came there in the morning, and I was entrusted to him.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married her when she was seven years old, and she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when she (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) married her when she was six years old, and she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) contracted marriage with me in Shawwal and took me to his house as a bride during Shawwal. And who among the wives of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was dearer to him than I, and' A'isha liked that the women (of her family) should enter the houses as brides during the month of Shawwal.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sufyan with the same chain of transmitters, but he made no mention of the act of 'A'isha (being admitted as a wife in the house of the Holy Prophet).

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: I was in the company of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) when there came a man and informed him that he had contracted to marry a woman of the Ansar. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Did you cast a glance at her? He said: No. He said: Go and cast a glance at her, for there is something in the eyes of the Ansar.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: A man came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: I have contracted marriage with a woman of the Ansar, whereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Did you cast a glance at her, for there is something in the eyes of the Ansar? He said: I did cast a glance at her, whereupon he said: For what (dower) did you marry her? He said: For four 'uqiyas. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: For four 'uqiyas; it seems as if you dig out silver from the side of this mountain (and that is why you are prepared to pay such a large amount of dower). We have nothing which we should give you. There is a possibility that we may send you to an (expedition) where you may get (booty). So he sent that man (in the expedition) which was despatched to Banu 'Abs.

Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (RA) reported: A woman came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Messenger of Allah, I have come to you to entrust myself to you (you may contract my marriage with anyone at your discretion). Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw her and cast a glance at her from head to foot. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) then lowered his head. When the woman saw that he had made no decision in regard to her, she sat down. There stood up a person from amongst his companions and said: Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need of her. He (the Holy Prophet) said: is there anything with you (which you can give as a dower)? He said: No, Messenger of Allah, by Allah I have nothing. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Go to your people (family) and see if you can find something. He returned and said: I have found nothing. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: See even if it is an Iron ring. He went and returned and said: No, by God, not even an iron ring, but only this lower garment of mine (Sahl said that he had no upper garment), half of which (I am prepared to part with) for her. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: How can your lower garment serve your purpose, for if you wear it, she would not be able to make any use of it and if she wears it there would not be anything on you? The man sat down and as the sitting prolonged he stood up (in disappointment) and as he was going back Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded (him) to be called back, and as he came, he said to him: Do you know any part of the Qur'an? He said: I know such and such surahs (and he counted them), whereupon he said: Can you recite them from heart (from your memory)? He said: Yes, whereupon he (Allah's Messenger) said: Go, I have given her to you in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you know.
