Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “It is not lawful for a woman (at the time of wedding) to ask for the divorce of

‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf came to Allah’s Apostle and he had marks of Sufra (yellow perfume). Al –
lah’s Apostle asked him (about those marks). ‘AbdurRahman bin Auf told him that he had married a
woman from the Ansar. The Prophet asked, “How much Mahr did you pay her?” He said, “I paid gold

with one sheep.”

Narrated Thabit:
The marriage of Zainab bint Jahash was mentioned in the presence of Anas and he said, “I did not

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 84:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet offered a wedding banquet on the occasion of his marriage to Zainab, and provided a
good meal for the Muslims. Then he went out as was his custom on marrying, he came to the dwell –
ing places of the mothers of the Believers (i.e. his wives) invoking good (on them), and they were in –
voking good (on him). Then he departed (and came back) and saw two men (still sitting there). So he
left again. I do not remember whether I informed him or he was informed (by somebody else) of
their departure).”

Narrated Khansa bint Khidam Al-Ansariya:
that her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that marriage. So
she went to Allah’s Apostle and he declared that marriage invalid.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 70:
Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid and Majammi bin Yazid.
the same ,Hadith above: A man called Khidam married a daughter of his (to somebody) against her
consent. ‘If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other)
women of your choice.’ (4.3) And if somebody says to the guardian (of a woman), “Marry me to so-
and-so,” and the guardian remained silent or said to him, “What have you got?” And the other said, “I
have so much and so much (Mahr),” or kept quiet, and then the guardian said, “I have married her to
you,” then the marriage is valid (legal). This narration was told by Sahl on the authority of the
Prophet
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 71:
Narrated ‘Ursa bin Az-Zubair:
that he asked ‘Aisha, saying to her, “O Mother! (In what connection was this Verse revealed):
‘If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with orphan girls (to the end of the verse) that
your right hands possess?” (4.3) Aisha said, “O my nephew! It was about the female orphan under
the protection of her guardian who was interested in her beauty and wealth and wanted to marry
her with a little or reduced Mahr. So such guardians were forbidden to marry female orphans unless
they deal with them justly and give their full Mahr; and they were ordered to marry women other
than them.”‘Aisha added, “(Later) the people asked Allah’s Apostle, for instructions, and then Allah re –
vealed: ‘They ask your instruction concerning the women . . . And yet whom you desire to marry.’
(4.127) So Allah revealed to them in this Verse that-if a female orphan had wealth and beauty, they
desired to marry her and were interested in her noble descent and the reduction of her Mahr; but if
she was not desired by them because of her lack in fortune and beauty they left her and married
some other woman. So, as they used to leave her when they had no interest in her, they had no right
to marry her if they had the desire to do so, unless they deal justly with her and gave her a full
amount of Mahr.”
