Muwatta Malik 1167

Authentic graded by Salim al-Hilali Muwatta Malik 1167

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَوَّجَتْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُنْذِرَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ - وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ غَائِبٌ بِالشَّامِ - فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ وَمِثْلِي يُصْنَعُ هَذَا بِهِ وَمِثْلِي يُفْتَاتُ عَلَيْهِ فَكَلَّمَتْ عَائِشَةُ الْمُنْذِرَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَ الْمُنْذِرُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ بِيَدِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا كُنْتُ لأَرُدَّ أَمْرًا قَضَيْتِيهِ فَقَرَّتْ حَفْصَةُ عِنْدَ الْمُنْذِرِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ طَلاَقًا ‏.‏

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave Hafsa bint Abd arRahman in marriage to al-Mundhir ibn az-Zubayr while Abd ar-Rahman was away in Syria. When Abd ar-Rahman arrived, he said, "Shall someone like me have this done to him? Am I the kind of man to have something done to him without his consent?" A'isha spoke to al-Mundhir ibn az-Zubayr, and al-Mundhir said, "It is in the hands of Abd ar-Rahman." Abd ar-Rahman said, "I won't oppose something that you have already completed." Hafsa was confirmed with al-Mundhir, and there was no divorce.

Abu al-Walid al-Baji — Al-Muntaqa

( ش ) : قَوْلُهُ إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوَّجَتْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ غَائِبٌ بِالشَّامِ يَحْتَمِلُ أَمْرَيْنِ : أَحَدَهُمَا أَنَّهَا بَاشَرَتْ عُقْدَةَ النِّكَاحِ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ مُزَيَّنٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ يُرِيدُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ كَانَ بِهَا عِيسَى ; لِأَنَّ مَالِكًا وَفُقَهَاءَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَا يُجَوِّزُونَ نِكَاحًا عَقَدَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ وَيُفْسَخُ قَبْلَ الْبِنَاءِ وَبَعْدَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ , وَالْوَجْهُ الثَّانِي أَنَّهَا قَدَّرَتْ الْمَهْرَ وَأَحْوَالَ النِّكَاحِ , وَتَوَلَّى الْعَقْدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ عَصَبَتِهَا وَنُسِبَ الْعَقْدُ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ لَمَّا كَانَ تَقْرِي…
