And with this same chain (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl, may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah! I offer myself to you. Then she stood for a long time, so a man 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, said: "Do you have anything which you can give her as a dowry?" The man said: I have nothing except this lower garment. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If you give her your lower garment, then you will have no lower garment left. Go and look for something." He said: I have nothing. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Look, even if it is only an iron ring." The man searched but found nothing. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: "Do you know anything from the Qur'an by heart?" He said: Yes! Such and such surahs. He mentioned some surahs before the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: I have married this woman to you in exchange for the Qur'an that you know by heart.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman who is not a virgin has more right regarding herself than her guardian, and a virgin girl is asked for permission (for marriage), and her silence is her permission."

It is narrated from Sayyida Khansa bint Khidam al-Ansariyya (may Allah be pleased with her) that her father married her off (without her consent) and she was not a virgin. She disliked this marriage, so she came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) rejected this marriage. The narrations reported by Abdur Rahman (bin al-Qasim) are now complete, and these are eight narrations.

And with the same chain of narration, it is narrated from (Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A woman and her paternal aunt should not be combined (in marriage), and a woman and her maternal aunt should not be combined (in marriage)."

And with the same chain of narration (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade shighar (exchange marriage). (Nafi' said:) And shighar is when a man marries his daughter to another man on the condition that the other marries his daughter to him (and) there is no dowry between them.

And with the same chain of narration, it is narrated from (Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "None of you should propose to a woman to whom his brother has already proposed."

It is narrated from Ibn Muhairiz (a Tabi'i) that I entered the mosque and saw Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), then I sat with him and asked about 'azl (withdrawal): So Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the battle of Banu al-Mustaliq, and there the women of the Arabs (disbelievers) became our slave girls. We desired women, and being without women was very hard for us, and we also wanted ransom (by selling these women). So we intended to practice 'azl and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is among us, can we practice 'azl before asking him? Then we asked him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "There is no harm for you in not practicing 'azl, every soul that is to be created until the Day of Judgment will be created."
