[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ through my father and mother, that he made a ruling regarding the case of Barwa' bint Washiq. She was married without a dowry and her husband died, so the Prophet ruled that she should be given a dowry from her husband's wealth and also inherit from him. If it is proven to be from the Prophet ﷺ , then it is the most important matter for us, and there is no argument in the words of anyone other than the Prophet ﷺ , even if they are numerous. Nor is there any analogy or anything in his words except obedience to Allah by surrendering to it. If it is not proven from the Prophet ﷺ , then no one has the right to prove anything from him unless it is proven and preserved by others similar to it. This happened once when Ma'qil ibn Yasar narrated it, and once when Ma'qil ibn Sinan narrated it, and once when it was narrated by someone brave who was not named. So if she dies, there is no dowry or pleasure for her. The sheikh (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the hadith of Barwa' bint Washiq, this is the difference that Imam al-Shafi'i mentioned. However, Abdullah ibn Mahdi, one of the Imams of hadith, disagrees with this interpretation.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِأَبِي هُوَ وَأُمِّي أَنَّهُ قَضَى فِي بِرْوَعِ بِنْتِ وَاشِقٍ وَنُكِحَتْ بِغَيْرِ مَهْرٍ فَمَاتَ زَوْجُهَا فَقَضَى لَهَا بِمَهْرِ نِسَائِهَا وَقَضَى لَهَا بِالْمِيرَاثِ فَإِنْ كَانَ يَثْبُتُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَهُوَ أَوْلَى الْأُمُورِ بِنَا وَلَا حُجَّةَ فِي قَوْلِ أَحَدٍ دُونَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَإِنْ كَثُرُوا وَلَا فِي قِيَاسٍ وَشَيْءٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ إِلَّا طَاعَةَ اللهِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَا يَثْبُتُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُثْبِتَ عَنْهُ مَا لَمْ يَثْبُتْ وَلَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ بَعْدُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ يُثْبِتُ مِثْلَهُ هُوَ مَرَّةً فَقَالَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ وَمَرَّةً عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ وَمَرَّةً عَنْ بَعْضِ أَشْجَعَ لَا يُسَمَّى فَإِذَا مَاتَ أَوْ مَاتَتْ فَلَا مَهْرَ لَهَا وَلَا مُتْعَةَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي حَدِيثِ بِرْوَعِ بِنْتِ وَاشِقٍ هَذَا الِاخْتِلَافُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ لَكِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ إِمَامٌ مِنْ أَئِمَّةِ الْحَدِيثِ
