20. Book of Marriage
٢٠۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Any woman who is married without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is invalid, and she is entitled to her dowry as long as she has received any part of it. If they dispute, the ruler is the guardian of one who has no guardian.' This has been confirmed through narrations from reliable sources, as the narrators have been documented to have heard each other's narrations. These narrations cannot be criticized based on the narration of Ibn 'Ulayyah and his questioning by Ibn Jurayj, as a trustworthy narrator may forget a hadith after narrating it, and this has been done by more than one memorizer of hadith. Al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan ibn Ayyub informed us, Abu Hatim Muhammad ibn Idris al-Razi said, "I heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal say, and it was mentioned in his presence that Ibn 'Ulayyah mentions a hadith from Ibn Jurayj regarding 'There is no marriage except with a guardian.' Ibn Jurayj said, 'I met al-Zuhri and asked him about it, but he did not know it well, and he praised Sulayman ibn Musa.' Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, 'Indeed, Ibn Jurayj has written books, and this is not mentioned in his books, meaning the narration of Ibn 'Ulayyah from Ibn Jurayj.' I heard Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub say, 'I heard al-Abbas ibn Muhammad al-Duri say, 'I heard Yahya ibn Ma'in say about the hadith 'There is no marriage except with a guardian,' which Ibn Jurayj narrates, so I said to him, 'Indeed, Ibn 'Ulayyah says this.' Ibn Jurayj said, 'I asked al-Zuhri about it, and he said, 'I do not remember it well.' Yahya ibn Ma'in said, 'No one says this except Ibn 'Ulayyah, and Ibn 'Ulayyah only presented the books of Ibn Jurayj to 'Abd al-Majid ibn 'Abd al-Aziz ibn Abi Rawwad, who corrected them for him, but he did not exert himself to preserve the hadith.'"

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ نُكِحَتْ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ وَلِيِّهَا فَنِكَاحُهَا بَاطِلٌ وَلَهَا مَهْرُهَا بِمَا أَصَابَ مِنْهَا فَإِنِ اشْتَجَرُوا فَالسُّلْطَانُ وَلِيُّ مَنْ لَا وَلِيَّ لَهُ» فَقَدْ صَحَّ وَثَبَتَ بِرِوَايَاتِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَثْبَاتِ سَمَاعُ الرُّوَاةِ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَلَا تُعَلَّلُ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَاتُ بِحَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ وَسُؤَالِهِ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْهُ وَقَوْلِهِ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ فَقَدْ يَنْسَى الثِّقَةُ الْحَافِظُ الْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَ أَنْ حَدَّثَ بِهِ وَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ حُفَّاظِ الْحَدِيثِ أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ ثنا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الرَّازِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ يَقُولُ وَذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ يَذْكُرُ حَدِيثَ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ فِي «لَا نِكَاحَ إِلَّا بِوَلِيٍّ» قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ فَلَقِيتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ وَأَثْنَى عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ إِنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ لَهُ كُتُبْ مُدَوَّنَةٌ وَلَيْسَ هَذَا فِي كُتُبِهِ يَعْنِي حِكَايَةَ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَىَ بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ فِي حَدِيثِ «لَا نِكَاحَ إِلَّا بِوَلِيٍّ» الَّذِي يَرْوِيهِ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ الزُّهْرِيَّ فَقَالَ لَسْتُ أَحْفَظُهُ فَقَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ لَيْسَ يَقُولُ هَذَا إِلَّا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ وَإِنَّمَا عَرَضَ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ كُتُبَ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَلَى عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ فَأَصْلَحَهَا لَهُ وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَبْذُلْ نَفْسَهُ لِلْحَدِيثِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى ثنا بَقِيَّةُ ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ لِيَ الزُّهْرِيُّ إِنَّ مَكْحُولًا يَأْتِينَا وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى وَلَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ مُوسَى لَأَحْفَظُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no marriage except with a guardian." Al-Nu'man ibn 'Abd al-Salam collected this hadith, connecting it between al-Thawri and Shu'bah in its chain of narration, and he narrated it from both of them. Al-Nu'man ibn 'Abd al-Salam is trusted and reliable. Many trustworthy narrators have also transmitted this hadith from al-Thawri and from Shu'bah, each one separately. They have transmitted it and all of this is found in the chapter that they heard from me and my companions. Therefore, it is sufficient without needing to repeat it. As for Isra'il ibn Yunus ibn Abu Ishaq, he is a trustworthy and reliable authority in the hadith of his grandfather, Abu Ishaq. He does not differ from him in connecting this hadith.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا نِكَاحَ إِلَّا بِوَلِيٍّ» قَدْ جَمَعَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بَيْنَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَشُعْبَةَ فِي إِسْنَادِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَوَصَلَهُ عَنْهُمَا وَالنُّعْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ ثِقَةٌ مَأْمُونٌ «وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الثِّقَاتِ عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَلَى حِدَةٍ وَعَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَلَى حِدَةٍ فَوَصَلُوهُ وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ مُخَرَّجٌ فِي الْبَابِ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي أَصْحَابِي فَأَغْنَى ذَلِكَ عَنْ إِعَادَتِهِمَا فَأَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الثِّقَةُ الْحِجَّةُ فِي حَدِيثِ جَدِّهِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ فَلَمْ يَخْتَلِفِ عَنْهُ فِي وَصْلِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no marriage except with a guardian." All of these chains of narrations are authentic, and we have elevated them higher than those from Israel. The earlier Imams who narrated from Israel, such as Abdul Rahman ibn Mahdi, Waki, Yahya ibn Adam, Yahya ibn Zakaria ibn Abi Zaidah, and others, also considered this Hadith to be authentic. I heard Abu Nasr Ahmed ibn Sahl al-Faqih al-Bukhari saying, "I heard Salih ibn Muhammad ibn Habib al-Hafiz saying, 'I heard Ali ibn Abdullah al-Madinini saying, 'I heard Abdul Rahman ibn Mahdi saying, "Israel used to preserve the Hadith of Abu Ishaq as they preserved the praise." I heard Abu al-Hasan ibn Mansur saying, "I heard Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ishaq saying, 'I heard Abu Musa saying, 'Abdul Rahman ibn Mahdi used to confirm the Hadith of Israel from Abu Ishaq, meaning in regards to marriage without a guardian.' Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Shaybani narrated to me from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan from Hatim ibn Yunus al-Jurjani, who said, 'I asked Abu al-Walid al-Tayalisi what he says about marriage without a guardian.' He said, 'It is not permissible.' I asked, 'What is the proof for that?' He said, 'Qays ibn al-Rabi from Abu Ishaq from Abu Burdah from his father.' I said, 'But al-Thawri and Shu'bah also narrate it.' He replied, 'Indeed, Israel followed Qays in this matter.'" Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Hane' narrated to me from Muhammad ibn al-Mundhir ibn Sa'id from Ishaq ibn Ibrahim ibn Jabalah, who said, 'I heard Ali ibn al-Madinini saying, 'The Hadith of Israel is authentic in the statement 'There is no marriage except with a guardian.'" I heard Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Anzi saying, 'I heard Uthman ibn Sa'id al-Darimi saying, 'I asked Yahya ibn Ma'in, 'Which do you prefer, Yunus ibn Abu Ishaq or his son Israil ibn Yunus?' He replied, 'They are both trustworthy.'" Authentic.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no marriage except with a guardian (wali)." This hadith has been narrated from Abu Ishaq after these two, Zuhayr bin Muawiyah al-Ju'fi and Abu Awana al-Wadah. And the people of narration have unanimously agreed on their precedence and accuracy. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summarization.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا نِكَاحَ إِلَّا بِوَلِيٍّ» وَقَدْ وَصَلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ بَعْدَ هَؤُلَاءِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُعْفِيُّ وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ الْوَضَّاحُ «وَقَدْ أَجْمَعَ أَهْلُ النَّقْلِ عَلَى تَقَدُّمِهِمَا وَحِفْظِهِمَا» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
