ahmad:3087ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Ṣāliḥ b. Kaysān > Nāfiʿ b. Jubayr b. Muṭʿim > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Prophet ﷺ said: A guardian has no concern with a woman previously married and has no husband, and an orphan girl (i.e. virgin) must be consulted, her silence being her acceptance. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2100)  

أحمد:٣٠٨٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ لِلوَلِيِّ مَعَ الثَّيِّبِ أَمْرٌ وَالْيَتِيمَةُ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فَصَمْتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا
