[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet pbuh, informed him that in the time of ignorance (pre-Islamic period), marriage used to have four steps. One of these steps is when a man proposes to another man's wife and seeks her consent, then he marries her. The hadith mentioned this as previously stated.  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ النِّكَاحَ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَنْحَاءٍ فَنِكَاحٌ مِنْهَا نِكَاحُ النَّاسِ الْيَوْمَ يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ وَلِيَّتَهُ فَيُصْدِقُهَا ثُمَّ يَنْكِحُهَا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ كَمَا مَضَى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Nothing from the practices of the ignorant era has affected me except for marriage, which is considered a marriage in Islam."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا وَلَدَنِي مِنْ سِفَاحِ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ شَيْءٌ مَا وَلَدَنِي إِلَّا نِكَاحٌ كِنِكَاحِ الْإِسْلَامِ  

[Machine] His father mentioned regarding the saying of Allah, "There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful." (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:128). He said, "He did not experience anything from the pre-Islamic ignorance (jahiliyyah) customs." The Prophet ﷺ also said, "I have come out of a marriage without adultery." The scholar (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "His parents were polytheists, as evident from the evidence."  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ} [التوبة 128] قَالَ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ وِلَادَةِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَرَجْتُ مِنْ نِكَاحٍ غَيْرِ سِفَاحٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَأَبَوَاهُ كَانَا مُشْرِكَيْنِ بِدَلِيلِ  

[Machine] To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "O Messenger of Allah, where is my father?" He ﷺ said, "He is in the Hellfire." He ﷺ called him again and said, "Indeed, my father and your father are in the Hellfire."  

لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيْنَ أَبِي؟ قَالَ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَفَّا دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي وَأَبَاكَ فِي النَّارِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I sought permission from my Lord to seek forgiveness for my mother, but He did not grant me permission. And I sought permission from Him to visit her grave, so He granted me permission."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لِأُمِّي فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي وَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِي أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي
