Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Companion’s words (mawquf) Sahih al-Bukhari 4573

Narrator:Ā’ishah

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً، كَانَتْ لَهُ يَتِيمَةٌ فَنَكَحَهَا، وَكَانَ لَهَا عَذْقٌ، وَكَانَ يُمْسِكُهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ شَىْءٌ فَنَزَلَتْ فِيهِ ‏{‏وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ لاَ تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى‏}‏ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ كَانَتْ شَرِيكَتَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَذْقِ وَفِي مَالِهِ‏.‏

Narrated Aisha:

There was an orphan (girl) under the care of a man. He married her and she owned a date palm (garden). He married her just because of that and not because he loved her. So the Divine Verse came regarding his case: "If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls..." (4.3) The sub-narrator added: I think he (i.e. another sub-narrator) said, "That orphan girl was his partner in that datepalm (garden) and in his property."

قَوْله : ( أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَام ) هُوَ اِبْن يُوسُف , وَهَذِهِ التَّرْجَمَة مِنْ لَطَائِف أَنْوَاع الْإِسْنَاد , وَهِيَ اِبْن جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ هِشَام , وَهِشَام الْأَعْلَى هُوَ اِبْن عُرْوَة وَالْأَدْنَى اِبْن يُوسُف. قَوْله : ( إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَتْ لَهُ يَتِيمَة فَنَكَحَهَا ) هَكَذَا قَالَ هِشَام عَنْ اِبْن جُرَيْجٍ فَأَوْهَمَ أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِي شَخْص مُعَيَّن , وَالْمَعْرُوف عَنْ هِشَام بْن عُرْوَة التَّعْمِيم , وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْرَجَهُ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيّ مِنْ طَرِيق حَجَّاج بْن مُحَمَّد عَنْ اِبْن جُرَيْجٍ وَلَفْظه " أُنْزِلَتْ فِي الرَّجُل يَكُون عِنْده الْيَتِيمَة إِلَخْ " وَكَذَا هُوَ عِنْد الْمُصَنِّف فِي الرِّوَايَة الَّتِي تَلِي هَذِهِ مِنْ طَرِيق اِبْن شِهَاب عَنْ عُرْوَة , وَفِيهِ شَيْ…
