Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The conditions by which you have made the private parts of women lawful for yourselves are the most deserving to be fulfilled.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A widow should not be married until her permission is sought, and a virgin should not be married until her consent is obtained. The Companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how will a virgin give her permission?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Her silence is her permission. (This silence will be considered her consent.)

Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should women be asked for their consent regarding their marriage?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes." I said, "But if a virgin girl is asked for her consent, she may remain silent out of shyness?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Her silence is her consent."

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that when I was married to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I was six years old. Then we migrated to Madinah and stayed with Banu Harith bin Khazraj. After arriving there, I developed a fever, and because of it, my hair began to fall out. Then my hair grew thick up to my shoulders. One day, my mother Umm Ruman (may Allah be pleased with her) came while I was playing on a swing with some of my friends. She called me, so I went to her, not knowing what she intended to do with me. Eventually, she took my hand and made me stand at the door of the house, and I was out of breath. After a little while, when I had calmed down, she took a little water and wiped it over my face and head. Then she took me inside the house, where some women of the Ansar were present. When they saw me, they prayed for me, saying, "May you come with blessings and good fortune." My mother handed me over to them, and they adorned me. After that, in the morning, suddenly the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself greeted me. At that time, I was nine years old.

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d narrated that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said,“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have come to offer myself to you (for marriage).”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at her and then lowered his gaze and bowed his head. When the woman saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not made any decision regarding her, she sat down. Then one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said,“O Messenger of Allah, if you have no need of her, then marry her to me.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked,“Do you have anything (to give as mahr)?”He replied,“No, O Messenger of Allah! By Allah!”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Go to your house and see, perhaps you may find something.”He went and came back and said,“No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I did not find anything there.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Then look, even an iron ring will do.”He went and came back and said,“No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I did not even find an iron ring, but I have this lower garment (izaar).”Sayyiduna Sahl says that he did not even have a sheet (to cover himself). The companion said,“Give her half of it.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“What will she do with your lower garment? If you wear it, it will not be suitable for her, and if she wears it, it will not be suitable for you.”Then that companion sat down. After sitting for a long time, he got up. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him leaving and called him back. When he came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked,“How much of the Qur’an do you know by heart?”He replied,“Such and such surahs I know by heart,”and he counted their names. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked,“Can you recite them by heart?”He replied,“Yes.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Go, I have married her to you in exchange for the portion of the Qur’an you know by heart.”

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a trace of yellow color on Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked, "What is this?" He replied, "I have married a woman for a dowry of gold equal to the weight of a date stone." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "May Allah bless you. Give a wedding feast, even if it is with only one goat."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the Battle of Khaybar. We performed the Fajr prayer there while it was still dark. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) mounted his ride and Abu Talha also mounted. I was sitting behind Abu Talha. The Prophet (peace be upon him) directed his mount towards the streets of Khaybar. My knee would touch the thigh of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) removed the lower garment from his thigh until I began to see the whiteness and shine of the clear and white thighs of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him). When you entered the settlement of Khaybar, you said:“Allahu Akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we descend into the courtyard of a people, then the morning of those who have been warned becomes evil.”You said this three times. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Jews of Khaybar had just come out for their work when they cried out,“Muhammad (peace be upon him) has arrived with the army.”So we fought Khaybar and conquered it, and captives were gathered. Then Dihyah came and submitted,“O Messenger of Allah, grant me a slave-girl from among the captives.”You said,“Go, take any slave-girl.”He took Safiyyah bint Huyayy. Then a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) and said,“O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), Safiyyah, who is the daughter of the chief of Qurayzah and Nadir, you have given her to Dihyah, but she is only suitable for you.”Upon this, you said,“Call Dihyah with Safiyyah.”They were brought. When the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) saw her, he said,“Take any other slave-girl from among the captives.”The narrator said: Then the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) freed Safiyyah and took her into his marriage. Thabit Banani asked Sayyiduna Anas,“Abu Hamzah, what did the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) fix as her dowry?”Sayyiduna Anas replied,“Her freedom itself was her dowry, and upon this the Prophet (peace be upon him) married her.”Then, on the way, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her, the mother of Sayyiduna Anas) prepared her as a bride and sent her to the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) at night. Now the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) was a groom, so he said,“Whoever has any food, let him bring it here.”You spread a leather dining sheet. Some Companions brought dates, some brought ghee (the narrator said,“I think Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) also mentioned sattu (roasted barley flour)”), then the people made a sweet dish from it. This was the wedding feast (walimah) of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has a slave-girl and he brings her up well and treats her well, then sets her free and marries her, he will have a double reward.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give a wedding feast (walimah) for any of his wives like he did for Lady Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her). For her walimah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a feast with one goat.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), he invited the people to a wedding feast (walimah). After eating, the people (remained inside the house and) continued talking for a long time. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) acted as if he wanted to stand up (so that the people would understand and get up), but no one stood up. When he saw that no one was getting up, he himself stood up. When he stood up, the other people also stood up, but three men still remained sitting. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came back inside from outside, he saw that some people were still sitting. After that, those people also got up. Then I went to the service of the Prophet and informed him that those people had also left. So he came inside. I also wanted to enter, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) let down a curtain of the door between himself and me. After that, the blessed verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet (without permission)..." until the end of the verse. (Al-Ahzab 53)
